| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The policies and institutions introduced to differentiate the home country products from imported products have not been so successful in achieving the goals of protection. These policies include geographical indication (GI), certification for organic products and certification for traditional foods. The objective of the study was to identify the conditions where these measures can be effective for agricultural development.
For the cases of developing countries and transition countries, our experimental auction studies confirmed the existence of economic values for GI certification systems and traditional food certification systems.
Policy implications include the need for promoting the protected products for the targeted consumers besides publicizing the protected products for general consumers. The respondents who showed higher willingness to pay had characteristics of having interests in production processes and quality of food products and of being in higher income groups.
