Foreign Import Competition and Green Innovation
This paper examines the impact of Chinese import competition on innovation. By using detailed patent information on the manufacturing industries of thirteen European countries and trade data from 1995 to 2015, we estimate and compare the effect of rising Chinese imports on the growth rates of industry‐wide patent stocks in generic and green inventions. The results reveal that Chinese import competition had no overall impact on total innovation at…
Democratization drives the adoption of national agri-environmental policies
Is democratic governance a key driver of environmental policy in the agricultural sector? We address this question using a global dataset covering national-level agri-environmental policies and regime transitions between autocracy and democracy from 1961 to 2021. Our empirical strategy employs a difference-in-differences estimator within an event-study framework to identify the causal impact of democratization on the adoption of agri-environmenta…
Terroir takes on technology
In the agri-food sector, firms and local systems can utilize both Geographical Indications and technological advancements as key strategic assets for growth in many European regions, but the combined contribution of Geographical Indications and innovation activities to the economy of European regions is still poorly investigated. This study aims to understand how Geographical Indications and agri-food innovation affect the competitiveness of the …
Impact of global value chains on tariffs and non-tariff measures in agriculture and food
We analyse whether global value chains (GVCs) reduce trade barriers in the agricultural and food sectors as they affect lobbying and government incentives. Political economy theory predicts that tariffs will be lower in countries integrated in GVCs and that the effect will be stronger outside regional trade agreements (RTAs). We use data from 1995 to 2015 from 160 countries on tariffs and non-tariff measures (NTMs) in the agri-food sector. Our ev…
Trade effects of voluntary sustainability standards in tropical commodity sectors
Geographical Indications and Innovation
Understanding the relationship between the diffusion of geographical indications (GIs) and innovation in the agri-food sector represents a relevant research area not yet properly addressed by the current literature. Our contribution aims to fill this gap by investigating the extent to which the diffusion of GIs across EU regions affects technological innovation. We investigate this issue through a Neo-Schumpeterian 'distance-to-the-frontier' mode…

Estimating the effects of agri-environmental measures using difference-in-difference coarsened exact matching
Jobs and agricultural policy
Trade liberalization and child mortality
Trade, import competition and productivity growth in the food industry
Mass Media and Public Policy
Mass media play a crucial role in information distribution and in the political market and public policy making. Theory predicts that information provided by the mass media reflects the media's incentives to provide news to different groups in society and affects these groups' influence in policy making. The paper use data on agricultural policy from 69 countries spanning a wide range of development stages and media markets to test these predicti…
