Resumen
Descripción
Using a new database on Chinese food
standards, this paper estimates the impact of volunta-ry and
mandatory standards on its agricultural and food exports.
The dataset covers seven Chinese products from 1992 to 2008.
The findings here indicate that standards have a posi-tive
effect on China's export performance. Standards signal
to customers that products meet certain quality measures and
promote information exchange. The benefits of increased
ex-ports outweigh compliance costs. Our results also show
that theses positive effects are larger when the standards
are consistent with international norms.
