Abstract

This paper estimates the impact of including geographical indications (GIs) in bilateral agreements on French exports of foodstuffs. We rely on a unique dataset of firms and products covered by GIs in the French agri-food industry (excluding wine) for 2012-2019, merged with firm-product-destination level data from French Customs and the French National Institute of Statistics. Controlling for market and firm characteristics, we compare the exports of GI firms with those of non-GI firms before and after the signing of the 13 agreements (25 destination countries) that include a list of GIs to be protected. We show that the protection of GIs in EU RTAs helps French firms reach new markets and sell their products at higher prices, but it depends on the level of protection provided by the agreement.
