英国脱欧后，英国政府承诺实施新的英国受保护食品名称（PFN）系统。这些法规将取代欧盟原产地地理标志（GI）法规，用于在英国市场销售。地理信息系统，以及潜在的PFN，可以有很大的好处。在这里，我们结合联合收割机的案例研究和计量经济学的方法来考虑地理标志的保护和加强粮食遗产和生产者的增长的影响。我们的案例研究分析表明，地理标志可以发挥重要作用，食品的遗产，虽然这取决于一系列的操作因素。我们的计量经济学分析仅限于少数以工厂为基础的地理信息系统和少数生产者的纵向数据。使用倾向分数匹配差异的方法表明，我们认为的地理标志在两年内对生产者没有显着的增长影响，但可能有更长期的就业增长影响超过四年。我们没有发现任何重大的长期销售影响的证据。这可能反映了英国消费者对GI标签的认识水平相对较低，以及GI标签和生产商自己的品牌之间可能存在重叠。重要的警告适用于我们的计量经济学分析，但我们的结果表明，在生产者增长方面，英国脱欧后通过受保护的食品名称计划显着增加地理标志数量的理由有限。更有说服力的论点，增加PFN在英国的数量涉及到保护食品遗产，并结合其他地方的支持机制，他们的潜在贡献，当地的食品和饮料旅游。
Post-Brexit the UK government has committed to the implementation of a new UK system of Protected Food Names (PFNs). These will replace the EU Geographical Indications of Origin (GI) regulations for sales in the UK market. GIs, and potentially PFNs, can have significant benefits. Here, we combine case study and econometric methods to consider GIs’ impact on preserving and strengthening food heritage and producer growth. Our case study analysis suggests that GIs can play an important role in the heritagisation of food products although this depends critically on a range of operational factors. Our econometric analysis is limited to a small number of factory-based GIs and small number of producers for which longitudinal data is available. Using a Propensity Score Matching-Difference in Difference approach suggests that the GIs we consider have had no significant growth effects on producers over two years but may have longer term employment growth effects over four years. We find no evidence of any significant longer-term sales effect. This may reflect relatively low levels of consumer awareness of GI labelling in the UK and potential overlaps between GI labels and producers’ own branding. Significant caveats apply to our econometric analysis but our results suggest there is limited justification in terms of producer growth for any significant increase in the number of GIs through the Protected Food Names scheme post-Brexit. More persuasive arguments for increasing the number of PFNs in the UK relate to the preservation of food heritage and, when combined with other local support mechanisms, their potential contribution to local food and drink tourism.
