采用重力框架并使用74个国家2010年至2012年的数据，我们调查了GlobalGAP标准采用的强度是否对欧盟香蕉进口价值产生积极影响。密度的计量采用全球良好农业规范认证的生产者数量和根据全球良好农业规范认证收获的公顷数。使用随机和固定效应估计，我们发现，认证的强度，在生产者和公顷与较高的香蕉进口。然而，所有模型中的进口弹性估计值均小于1，表明进口对全球良好农业规范认证强度的反应缺乏弹性。这也表明，发展中国家难以遵守《全球良好农业规范》标准要求的小农被赶出了国际香蕉市场。对于重力变量的距离被认为有负面影响，但香蕉生产的出口国和存在的共同语言和贸易国之间的区域贸易协定改善贸易。
Adopting a gravity framework and using data from 2010 to 2012 for 74 countries, we investigate whether the intensity of GlobalGAP standard adoption has a positive impact on EU banana import values. Intensity is measured by using number of GlobalGAP certified producers and hectares harvested under GlobalGAP certification. Using random and fixed effect estimation we find that intensity of certification, in terms of producers and hectares are associated with higher banana imports. However the estimated elasticities of imports in all models are less than 1 indication an inelastic response of imports to GlobalGAP certification intensity. This also indicates that the small farmers in developing countries who find it difficult to comply with the GlobalGAP standard requirements are driven out of the international banana market. For the gravity variables distance is found to have negative impact, but banana production in the exporting countries and presence of common language and RTA between the trading countries improves trade.
