Economic Spill-Over of Food Quality Schemes on Their Territory. Journal of Agricultural & Food Industrial Organization. 2020 https://doi.org/10.1515/jafio-2019-0046Abstract
We study the effect of a set of food quality scheme
(FQS) products within the local economy using a local
multiplier approach based on LM3 methodology. To evaluate
the effective contribution within the local area, we compare
each FQS product with its equivalent standard/conventional
counterpart. Local multiplier allows us to track the financial
flows converging within thelocal area at the differentlevels of
the supply chain so that we can measure the FQS product role
in local economic activation. Overall, the FQS products
exhibit a higher positive contribution to the local economy
than the standard references. However, there is significant
heterogeneity in the impact according to the product
categories. In the case of vegetal products, the local economic
advantage due to FQS is 7% higher than the reference products, but the statistical tests reject the null hypothesis that the
medians are significantly different from zero. On the contrary,
animal products exhibit a larger contribution of FQS than the
standard counterparts (+24%). The PGI products (+25%)
produce the major effect, while PDO products show a median
difference lower (+6%). The organic and non-organic products seem to be substantially equivalent in terms of contribution to the local economy, due to the similarity in the
downstream processing phase.
