    Is embedding entailed in consumer valuation of food safety characteristics? (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-24
    Description: Consumers' preferences for food safety characteristics are investigated with a particular focus on the existence of an embedding effect. Embedding exists if consumer valuation of food safety is insensitive to scope. We conduct between-attribute external tests for embedding in two choice experiments concerning the value of food safety attributes in minced pork and chicken breasts. We find no evidence of embedding neither when using food safety attributes that are not close substitutes and which exhibit both private and public good characteristics, nor when using food safety attributes that are closer substitutes and which have primarily private good characteristics.

    Intangible expenses: a solution to increase the French wine industry performance? (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-24
    Description: This paper presents an empirical investigation of the link between intangible expenses of French wine companies and their financial performance. A flexible moment-based approach is used to analyse the impact of tangible and intangible expenses on the mean, variance and skewness of profit. Econometric evidence shows that a high level of intangible expenses has a positive impact on performance by increasing the expected profit and reducing variance risk. A lower level of intangible expenses reduces risk and mean of profit of corporations. This study provides insights on the use of intangible expenses as a risk management tool.

    Consumers' preferences for geographical origin labels: evidence from the Canadian olive oil market (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-24
    Description: Geographical origin labels are important information and marketing tools and have recently become a central component of EU agricultural promotion. We consider demand in a non-EU export market for two distinct label types: country of origin (COO) and geographical indications (GIs). Additionally, two types of GIs, ‘protected designations of origin’ (PDOs) and ‘protected GIs’ (PGIs) are considered. Empirical findings indicate consumers’ willingness to pay varies with the oil's COO and is greater for GIs than for non-GIs from a given country. Weaker evidence that consumers value PDOs more than PGIs is also found.

    Is producing a private label counterproductive for a branded manufacturer? (2012)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-03-08
    Description: Branded food manufacturers vindicate the use of excess production capacities to justify their production of retailers’ brands. We study the distributor's and food manufacturer's private label (PL) strategy for production within a framework featuring endogenous store brand quality, bargaining power, possible differences in production technology and potential capacity constraints for the branded manufacturer. Depending on the structure of capacity constraint (applying to both products or to the PL only), we find that the retailer may prefer to choose an independent firm for the production of the store brand whereas the branded manufacturer is chosen in the case of excess capacity.

    Chain interdependencies, measurement problems and efficient governance structure: cooperatives versus publicly listed firms (2012)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-03-08
    Description: We determine the circumstances when the absence of public listing, often believed to be a disadvantage, makes a cooperative the unique efficient governance structure. This is established in a multi-task principal–agent model, capturing that cooperatives are not publicly listed and their CEOs have to bring the downstream enterprise to value as well as to serve upstream member interests. Not having a public listing prevents the CEO from choosing the level of the downstream activities too high. Cooperatives are uniquely efficient when the upstream marginal product multiplied with a function increasing in the strength of the chain complementarities is higher than the downstream marginal product.

    Quality labels and firm survival: some first empirical evidence (2013)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-05-31
    Description: European Union regulation on quality food products (protected designations of origin (PDO) labelling) is expected to sustain competitiveness within the agricultural sector. This paper examines the impact of this policy on the survival of cheese firms over the period 1990–2006 in France. We show that such a policy (Appellation d'Origine Controlée) reduces exiting risk for smaller firms. However, smaller firms still have a lower survival rate compared with larger ones that cannot be compensated by the quality label effect.

    Are geographical indications a worthy quality label? A framework with endogenous quality choice (2015)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-02-06
    Description: We analyse the effects of geographical indication labelling on quality choices and welfare in a vertical differentiation framework with two attributes of goods, gustatory quality and geographical origin. We investigate two extreme cases of the protected designation of origin (PDO) label: a denomination standard, which guarantees only the origin of the product without any requirement on production specifications, and a minimum quality requirement, which guarantees both the origin and the quality of the product. We find that as long the PDO good is the high-quality good, binding production specifications on the quality level adversely affect the PDO producer(s).

    Consumer cohorts and demand elasticities (2015)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-02-28
    Description: A mixed effects model is used to estimate intercepts, price and expenditure elasticities for vegetables, meat and fish in different cohorts. Results from Wald tests reveal that intercepts for fish are higher for older cohorts than for younger cohorts, and expenditure elasticities for meat are higher for older cohorts than for younger cohorts. The implication is that over time, when younger cohorts replace older cohorts, the total expenditure share for fish is likely to decrease contributing to a negative trend in fish consumption. For meat, the total expenditure elasticity is likely to decrease.

    Member deliveries in collective marketing relationships: evidence from coffee cooperatives in Costa Rica (2015)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-02-28
    Description: This article investigates member deliveries in agricultural marketing cooperatives. Since cooperatives depend on members’ contributions to achieve efficiency in processing and marketing, side-selling by members poses a threat to the economic viability of cooperatives in the long run. We develop a model for the farmers’ marketing decision that relates farm size to the share of produce delivered to the cooperative. Based on survey data from cooperatively organised coffee farmers in Costa Rica, we find that the share delivered to cooperatives decreases with farm size, albeit at a decreasing rate. The empirical results thus confirm the theoretical model prediction of a u-shaped relationship between farm size and member deliveries.

    Sales at a loss: who benefits? (2015)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-02-28
    Description: Pricing and selling strategies in the retail sector are hotly debated in policy circles. This article analyses the impact of sales below cost on the negotiation outcomes in intermediate goods markets. Assuming that consumers have a sufficiently strong preference for one-stop shopping, we model below-cost pricing as the result of a profit-maximising cross-subsidisation strategy of a multi-product retailer. We find that below-cost pricing improves the supplier's bargaining position vis-à-vis the retailer. Correspondingly, the supplier of the loss-leader benefits from the retailer's below-cost pricing strategy, though the retailer is better off under a ban of sales below cost. These results disprove the often expressed fear that retailers use sales at a loss to squeeze wholesale prices.
