“…As Bilkey (1993, p. xix) has put it, country-of-origin effects reflect "buyers' opinions regarding the relative qualities of goods and services produced in various countries." According to Tan and Farley (1987) these country-of-origin effects represent the "most researched international aspect of consumer behavior." The extensive body of empirical work on country-of-origin effects has been reviewed by Bilkey and Nes (1982), Özsomer and Cavusgil (1991) and, more recently, Peterson and Jolibert (1995).…”

In the literature on international trade, very little attention has been given to informational asymmetries between firms and consumers with respect to product quality.The few economic models that analyze the question of how asymmetric information about product quality might affect trade flows treat product quality as exogenous. In contrast, our model takes product quality as an endogenous variable, i.e. firms can choose the quality they wish to produce. In this case, location costs can signal product quality under certain conditions and thereby affect international trade flows. More specifically, intra-industry trade in vertical differentiated experience goods can be determined by information asymmetries about product quality. * We would like to thank Andrzej Cieoelik, James Dunlevy, Jess Gaspar, Michel Ghertman, Eckhard Janeba, Daniel Klein, Bertrand Quélin, Stephan Panther, Rudolf Richter, Dieter Schmidtchen, Ilya Segal, Udo Schmidt-Mohr, Deepak Somaya, Willy Spanjers, Mirja Weiss, and seminar participants at UC Berkeley, the 1997 Meeting of the European Economic Association in Toulouse, the 1997 Meeting of the Verein für Socialpolitik in Berne, and the 1998 Meeting of the American Economic Association in Chicago for useful discussion and comments on this work.

“…Country of origin (COO) is considered as one of the most extensively researched concepts in international consumer research (Jain, 2007;Peterson & Jolibert, 1995;Tan & Farley, 1987). Paradoxically, COO has been designated as one of the least understood concepts (Verlegh & Steenkamp, 1999) after a long systematic research history, which was initiated by Schooler (1965).…”

Bangladesh, a developing country, has significant import dependence since its inception. This study attempted to identify the factors influencing significance of country of brand and country of manufacturing in consumer product evaluation. Two models, one for country of brand and another for country of manufacturing tested in this study. Regression models for country of brand and country of manufacturing demonstrate statistical significance with R 2 value of .970 and .935 respectively. The determinants posed statistically significant influence for country of brand are technological superiority, price level, reliability, performance, and durability; while significant variables influencing country of brand are price level, value for money, and aesthetical design.

“…While several studies (Caruana, 1996; Sharma et al, 1995) indicated a negative relationship between income and consumer ethnocentrism, some studies (Han & Terpstra, 1988) suggested that income had no effect, while other (Tan & Farley, 1987) indicated a positive relationship between income and consumer ethnocentrism. Citing the example of the Czech Republic, Balabanis et al (2001) indicated that consumers with higher income tended to be more ethnocentric than consumers with lower income.…”

Ethnocentric behaviour of consumers is related to the attitude and intentions of consumers when deciding upon purchasing a product, i.e., it is such a kind of behaviour which implies giving priority to purchasing domestic rather than foreign products. The results of a large number of studies show that not all consumers are equally ethnocentric. Therefore, it is of utmost significance to realize that consumers rely on various signals and make different decisions depending on their inclinations towards consumer ethnocentrism. The aim of this paper is to examine the influence and interaction of demographic characteristics of respondents in Serbia on consumer ethnocentrism. Several statistical techniques that provided support during the testing of research hypotheses have been applied in the preparation of this paper. We used nonparametric techniques (Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test). The results indicate that men are more ethnocentric than women, as well as persons with lower level of education than those with higher level of education. Also, the results have shown that respondents who achieve the highest level of income are not ethnocentric in the least. In addition, it has been established that there is no statistically significant impact of the criteria of the year on the level of consumer ethnocentrism. The research results provide useful information for marketers and managers of companies that currently operate or are planning to enter Serbian market in the forthcoming period. Another great benefit is reflected in the fact that these results draw the managers' attention to the fact which consumer groups are the most ethnocentric and thus allow the creation of high quality strategies.
