“…examine the producersÕ perspectives on quality products in a number of lagging rural regions of the EU. Dimara et al (2004) have shown that regulated notions of quality, either in terms of product characteristics, e.g., organic production, or in terms of place of origin, e.g., (PDOs), affect the efficiency of food production.…”

“…[59]), the majority of studies discovered a lower technical efficiency for GI firms. The authors explain this result as indicating the higher costs that the GI producers need to address [60] and the consequently different strategies adopted, i.e., GI firms pursue output maximization, while non-GI firms look for cost minimization [56,61]. This reasoning is corroborated by the higher scale efficiency performance of GI producers.…”

From Geographical Indications to Rural Development: A Review of the Economic Effects of European Union Policy

One of the main functions of geographical indications (GIs) is to provide information and quality to consumers. This, in turn, can generate benefits for producers and stimulate rural development processes, as advocated by European Union (EU) legislation. The objective of the present study is to understand if the theorized effects of GIs on local economic development are supported by empirical evidence. Using a systematic approach, we reviewed the literature on the topic and structured the results of the review adopting a supply chain framework. This allows us to better understand how the effects of GIs are distributed among the chain actors and finally arrive at the local territories where GI products originate. Evidence shows that GIs are actually able to generate value added, especially at the consumer and retailer levels, while the effects on the economic performance of producers are more heterogeneous and dependent on specific local conditions. The review also highlighted some drawbacks in the literature that make it difficult to draw robust conclusions about the actual impact of GI policy at the European level. Therefore, despite the GI tool actually showing good potential for improving local economic conditions, more structured and focused research is needed.

“…DEA has been applied to the agricultural sector within a number of developed and developing countries (Cloutier and Rowley, 1993;Jaforullah and Whiteman, 1999;Fraser and Cordina, 1999;Bravo-Ureta et al, 2007;Chung et al, 1997;Tzouvelekas et al, 2001a,b;Dimara et al, 2005). Within the UK a number of studies have emerged which seek to establish dairy technical efficiencies for various regions.…”
