Non-tariff trade barriers and consumers' information: The case of the EU-US trade dispute over beef

Australian wines in the British wine market: A hedonic price analysis

“…Nimon and Beghin (1999) examine the implications of eco-labelling schemes on consumer choice sets and product quality in the trade of textile and apparel. Mahé (1997) and Bureau, Marette, and Schiavina (1998) investigate the role of information on quality attributes and the role of quality labelling in the process of agricultural trade liberalisation and in determining welfare eects from such de-regulation. Marette, Crespi, and Schiavina (1999) analyse the impact of certied quality labelling on welfare when common labelling schemes matter and asymmetric information is present.…”

The Economics of Quarantine and the SPS Agreement

(p. 22).…”

Implementing COOL: Comparative welfare effects of different labeling schemes

“…We assume that domestic firms produce the high-quality good ( H k ) and foreign firms produce products of lower quality ( L k ) or are at least perceived as such. Consistent with previous models of labeling (e.g., Bureau, Marette and Schiavina, 1998;Giannakas and Fulton, 2002;Fulton and Giannakas, 2004;Zago and Pick, 2004;Plastina, Giannakas, and Pick, 2011, Saak, 2011, Awada and Yiannaka, 2012, we assume that quality is fixed and exogenous. Furthermore, it is the quality perceived by consumers that is represented by k in our model.…”

“…Our model builds on those developed by Bureau, Marette and Schiavina (1998), Zago and Pick (2004), and Plastina, Giannakas, and Pick (2011. Unlike the first two articles, we model intermediaries with market power.…”
