“…The average quality of products certified by public labels and the reduction in related information asymmetry are higher than those for private certifications (Biondo, 2014). These reflections provide evidence in support of the recent reform of GI regulation (in force from 2024) that stresses the role of community‐tailored policy tools, such as GIs, in managing sustainable local–global linkages of the agri‐food sector (Crescenzi et al., 2023).…”

“…GIs generate several benefits evidenced in the literature: premium pricing (Menapace & Moschini, 2012), farmers' income (Hughes, 2009), consumers' preferences (Menapace et al., 2011), trade (de Filippis et al., 2022), local development (Crescenzi et al., 2022) and sustainability (Gocci & Luetge, 2011). In global markets, the literature demonstrates that obtaining a GI avoids misleading labelling, confers greater consumer trust in the authenticity of products (Deselnicu et al., 2013; Menapace et al., 2011), and attracts foreign direct investment (Crescenzi et al., 2023). This not only guarantees fairness and equity among trade parties, but also affects international demand (Menapace & Moschini, 2012) and consumers' willingness to choose these products (Santeramo & Lamonaca, 2019).…”

Assessing the role of geographical indications in affecting the quality of imports

Geographical indications (GIs) aim to protect the names of specific high‐quality products (food and wine) to preserve and promote the uniqueness linked to their geographical origin and traditional know‐how. EU and extra‐EU countries register domestic products with GIs. This study disentangles the effects of such registrations on the quality of imports using country‐level product import data for the fruit, vegetable, coffee, tea, and spice sectors. Our results show that the registration of domestic products as GIs enhances the quality of imported goods only if the importing country has a lower level of quality of domestic production. The introduction of GIs into high‐quality domestic markets can discourage import quality upgrades. This is because domestic producers may prefer to compete for quality rather than price, and imported goods represent a less expensive alternative to high‐quality national goods for consumers. Conversely, in countries where domestic product quality is lower, the introduction of GIs may enhance import quality upgrading because the diffusion of GIs induces domestic consumers to become more demanding in terms of quality for foreign products.

“…The GPS extends the binary treatment proposed by Rosenbaum and Rubin [30] to continuous treatment scenarios with the aim of balancing the distribution of covariates in the treated and control group [31]. Several papers recently used this approach to evaluate agrifood policies, including [32,33]. In this paper, in fact, all NUTS3 crop observations are treated (irrigated), but with different levels of treatment.…”

Do Irrigation Water Requirements Affect Crops’ Economic Values?

The irrigation water requirements of different crops are becoming a pivotal driver for the governance strategies of water allocation and management. This paper estimates the impact of irrigation water requirements on economic value in terms of the yields and gross saleable production of 13 different crops cultivated in the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy) over the 2010–2020 period by exploiting a generalized propensity score matching approach. Results show that the overall irrigation water requirements affect crops’ economic value. There is a causal effect of water irrigation on economic value: positive only for high levels of water irrigation in the case of yields, while it reverses and assumes a concave shape for gross saleable production. However, the effect is mediated by the irrigation water requirements of different crops. In water scarcity conditions, the allocation of water to arboreal crops, given the effect of water irrigation on gross saleable production, is also positive for small quantities of water. This paper can help guide the design of more sustainable water management strategies and agricultural development policies to face climate change.

Do Geographical Indications (GIs) have an impact on local export dynamics? This paper uses a panel geo-referenced dataset and a quasi-experimental approach based on Propensity Score Matching and Difference in Differences methods. Specifically, the study focuses on the impact of the European GI scheme on the wine sector export dynamics of Italian municipalities. Findings suggest that GIs positively impact wine export performance. Additionally, the positive impact of GIs spills over to the overall agri-food sector: taking similar non-GI municipalities as a benchmark, GI municipalities saw a higher increase in the value, volume, and unit value of export both in the wine and the overall agri-food sector. The positive impact involves both extra- and intra-EU trade flows and it is confirmed for rural areas as well for municipalities belonging to regions with weak institutions.
