Trade, Quality Reputations and Commercial Policy
将企业声誉在产品质量不可观察时的作用扩展到国际贸易背景，分析质量不确定性对商业政策的影响，特别是原产地标签要求和最低质量标准等非关税壁垒的作用。
This paper extends recent developments on the role of firm reputations in markets where product quality is unobservable at the time of purchase to an international trading context. Its primary motivation is to demonstrate the implications of this approach to the problem of quality uncertainty for commercial policy, particularly the role of potential nontariff barriers, such as origin labeling requirements and minimum quality standards.
