Abstract

PurposeIntellectual property right constitutes play a forceful role to promote economic growth and create a fortune. However, it is not yet clear to what extent the agricultural intellectual property rights represented by geographical indications of agricultural products (AGIs) can affect the development of regional economy. The purpose of this paper is to analyze this impact and its mechanism as well as to draw policy implications from this empirical analysis.Design/methodology/approachUsing county-level panel data from 2006 to 2020, this paper employed the difference-in-differences (DID) model.FindingsThe authors find that AGIs can significantly improve economic development at the county level. The AGIs can stimulate the flow of commercial and industrial capital to the countryside, thus fueling county-level economic development. Unlike AGIs for cereals and cash crops, AGIs for aquatic products and animal products cannot influence or have a negative impact on county-level economic. Compared with Eastern regions, the acquisition of AGIs in Western regions can more significantly boost county-level economic development. Therefore, AGIs can pronouncedly narrow down the gap of cross-county economic growth.Originality/valueConclusions of this paper can provide references for building the county-level countryside into a main ground of agricultural economic development and brand construction, continuously promoting the agricultural supply-front structural reform and boosting realization of all-around rural revitalization.

农产品地理标志对县级经济增长有促进作用吗？

目的知识产权构成对促进经济增长和创造财富具有重要作用。然而，以农产品地理标志为代表的农业知识产权对区域经济发展的影响程度尚不清楚。本文的目的是分析这种影响及其机制，并从实证分析中得出政策启示。设计/方法/方法利用2006年至2020年的县级面板数据，采用差异中的差异（DID）模型。研究结果作者发现，AGI可以显著改善县级经济发展。AGI可以刺激商业和工业资本向农村流动，从而促进县级经济发展。与谷物和经济作物的AGI不同，水产品和动物产品的AGI不会影响或对县级经济产生负面影响。与东部地区相比，西部地区收购AGI可以更显著地促进县级经济发展。因此，AGI可以显著缩小跨县域经济增长的差距。本文的结论可为把县级农村建设成为农业经济发展和品牌建设的主阵地，不断推进农业供给侧结构性改革，推动实现乡村全面振兴提供参考。

期刊介绍： Published in association with China Agricultural University and the Chinese Association for Agricultural Economics, China Agricultural Economic Review publishes academic writings by international scholars, and particularly encourages empirical work that can be replicated and extended by others; and research articles that employ econometric and statistical hypothesis testing, optimization and simulation models. The journal aims to publish research which can be applied to China’s agricultural and rural policy-making process, the development of the agricultural economics discipline and to developing countries hoping to learn from China’s agricultural and rural development.
