      abstract = {The relationship between product quality (as indicated by  unit value) and export performance, both measured in  absolute (per capita) and relative terms, is investigated.   Five EU countries (DE, UK, FR, ES, IT), three product  categories (cheese, meat preparations and wine), three  export destinations (intra EU, extra EU and world) and two  time periods (1995-1999 and 2000-201) are analysed.  The  estimation results show that the connection between quality  and export performance is positive for Italy, Spain and  France but depends on the product category (but not on the  period), and differs (but not in all cases) according to  the export destination.  While the signs of the estimated  slope coefficients are stable, the obtained statistical  significance levels for these parameters depend on the  measure used (relative or absolute) and on the estimation  method (OLS or GLS).  The main implication arising from  this analysis is that it may be justified to introduce  'marketing of high-quality products' as a new academic  discipline, teaching students and professionals in it and  thus to contribute to the enhancement of EU agribusiness  competitiveness in increasingly liberalised markets.},
