| Title: | The Political Economy of Nutrition and Health Standards in Food Markets |
| Authors: | Swinnen, Johan F.M.
Vandemoortele, Thijs |
| Keywords: | Political Economy
Standards
Food Markets |
| Issue Date: | 2008 |
| Abstract: | This paper presents a general political economy
model of standards. We use the model to derive political and
social optima of nutrition and health standards in food
markets, and to identify under which cases “understandardization”
or “over-standardization” will result. The
paper analyses the impact of trade and development on the
political equilibrium as well as the role of the media and
consumer perceptions. |
