We discuss the economics of geographical indications (GIs), a form of collective branding of products based on their geographic origin. GIs serve as essential tools in addressing market failures stemming from information asymmetries and supporting the provision of high-quality products in competitive settings. They are increasingly used in wine and food markets. We briefly review the institutional development of GIs, discuss the basic economic theory arguments that rationalize the use of GIs, and characterize their key functions. We then examine the empirical evidence from studies that have probed various features of GIs. We find consensus on the potential for GIs to address a very real market failure and the positive role that policies and supporting institutions can play. We also uncover limitations and unresolved problems. GIs have both efficiency and distributional consequences, their international implications remain controversial, and tensions between tradition and innovation emerge while confronting new challenges such as climate change.

地理标志经济学:最新情况



我们讨论了地理标志 (GI) 的经济学,地理标志 (GI) 是一种基于地理来源的产品集体品牌形式。地理标志是解决信息不对称引起的市场失灵和支持在竞争环境中提供高质量产品的重要工具。它们越来越多地用于葡萄酒和食品市场。我们简要回顾了地理标志的制度发展,讨论了使地理标志使用合理化的基本经济理论论点,并描述了它们的关键功能。然后,我们检查了探索 GI 各种特征的研究的经验证据。我们发现,关于地理标志有可能解决非常真实的市场失灵问题,以及政策和支持机构可以发挥的积极作用,我们达成了共识。我们还发现了局限性和未解决的问题。地理标志既有效率又有分配后果,其国际影响仍然存在争议,传统与创新之间的紧张关系在面临气候变化等新挑战的同时出现。
