“…The EU has strongly supported the protection of GIs at the international level, and there is optimism about the effects of GIs on trade values and quantities (see De Filippis et al, 2022, for a systematic literature review of GIs trade effects). The existing literature has mainly evaluated the impacts of GIs on export/import activities (Altomonte et al, 2013; Curzi & Huysman, 2022; Fernandez‐Olmos & Diez‐Vial, 2014) and participation in GVCs (Mancini, 2013).…”

“…2 Compared to standard agri-food productions, GIs can generate socio-economic benefits at both producer and territorial levels, which have been documented in the literature (on GIs' economic effects: Cei et al, 2018;Crescenzi, De Filippis, et al, 2022;FAO, 2021). GIs have assumed a crucial role also in the EU trade economy, becoming a contentious issue in trade negotiations (De Filippis et al, 2022).…”

The Geographical Indications (GIs) scheme of the European Union guarantees visibility and protection to high‐quality agri‐food products associated with a demarcated region of origin. This paper estimates the impact of the scheme in attracting agri‐food Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in European NUTS3 regions, using a novel dataset and a Generalized Propensity Score Matching approach. Areas endorsed with GIs attract more FDI in agri‐food related activities than their non‐GI counterparts. Positive effects, estimated for FDI inflows, related job creation, and inter‐sectoral spillovers on local employment, involves territories with lower institutional quality.

Geographical Indications (GI) give goods made from local resources more legitimacy and create value additions for various products. Gems and Jewelry are products that have contributed to Chanthaburi’s long-standing renown but have not yet been recognized for GI. The principles are to 1) investigate the entrepreneurial viewpoints regarding the belief that GI will increase the value of its products, 2) contrast the views of those products toward the use of GI to boost value and inspire confidence in customers, 3) examine the link between variables influencing the value added of gems and jewelry products with GI. In-depth interviews were used as the research methodology. Data was gathered from 14 owners of Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in gems and jewelry businesses who were required to be members of the Chanthaburi Gem and Jewelry Traders Association (CGA). The finding revealed that entrepreneurs support and encourage the registration of GI for gems and jewelry products to increase the company’s reliability, boost product market value, and foster customer trust. Gems and jewelry entrepreneurs in Chanthaburi trust GI to add value; therefore, GI is a tool that may be utilized to enhance the worth of gems and jewelry products. Plus, it increases consumers’ trust in the product’s origin and quality.

“…By linking food quality and reputation to a specific territory (Torok et al., 2020), compared to standard agri‐food productions, GIs indeed operate as a place‐branding strategy capable of generating substantial socio‐economic spillovers, enhancing producers' and territorial welfare (Merel et al., 2021). 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 study falls within the latter group of studies, which are briefly reviewed here. Despite some heterogeneity (Chilla et al, 2020;Marette et al, 2008;Sorgho & Larue, 2018), a meta-analysis conducted by de Filippis et al (2022) demonstrated that there is substantial consensus on the trade-enhancing effect of GIs in terms of premium pricing (among others, Brooks, 2003;Raimondi et al, 2020), export values (Agostino & Trivieri, 2014;Torok & Jambor, 2016) and volumes (Sorgho & Larue, 2014). Focusing on wines produced in Italy, France and Spain, Agostino and Trivieri (2014) found a positive effect on extensive margins (i.e., new trade routes), especially in the case of high-income destination markets.…”

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.
