Abstract

The country of origin of a product can improve the assessment of the product by consumers and enhance its chances of being purchased, if the country in question benefits from a favourable image for the production of that type of goods. This research shows that, beyond country-image, this effect of country of origin may also rely on the affects that the consumer has with the country. A review of the literature allows us to formulate the proposition according to which the consumer's willingness to pay for foreign products may be increased when the individual feels a certain affinity for the country of origin. This proposal is confirmed by an exploratory quantitative study the results of which make original avenues of research emerge, while providing managerial implications for international marketing professionals.
