      abstract = {Protection of indications of geographical origin (GIs) can  reduce information asymmetry between producers and  consumers, and potentially enhance trade. However, GIs can  also possibly divert trade.  We rely on panel data about  agri-food trade among the 27 countries of the European  Union to investigate these issues using variations of  estimators proposed by Head and Mayer (2000) and Santos  Silva and Tenreyro (2006). Our findings suggest that the  protection of GIs creates trade when the importing and  exporting countries have GI-protected products. There is  also empirical evidence regarding a trade-diverting effect  when the importing country does not have GIs and a border  enlargement effect arising from European GI-protection.},
