This book seeks to contribute to an understanding of the role played by
international trade law in shaping economic outcomes from a theoretical
perspective. The focus is on geographical indications (GI), an intellectual
property right defined in the TRIPs Agreement of the WTO. The premise is that
a GI can be conceptualized as a ‘club asset’: firms that produce GI-labelled
goods both add value and derive benefits from the GI. The book starts by
presenting a dynamic model of GI reputation under the assumption that quality
is endogenous. This is followed by a static partial equilibrium model of club
optimality conditions under the assumption that quality is exogenous (defined
by a standard). The author concludes by presenting a model of the welfare
effects of the so called “claw-back” of GIs, when a country starts protecting
a foreign GI previously considered generic.
