The role of geographical attributes in consumers' willingness to pay for Argentinean Malbec. Insights for international protection
Get PDFOrigin related attributes, such as geographical indications, have been largely identified as good proxy indicators of wine quality and are therefore useful tools both for producers and consumers to address information asymmetry. For Argentina, a New World wine producer with an interesting growing pattern in international markets, the understanding of the role of geographical indications is a key issue. Despite the current success of the grape-variety based differentiation strategy, there is an increasing debate on its long-term suitability. Meanwhile, most Argentinean wineries do include non-protected geographical names and vineyard indications on their product label.
Through the hedonic pricing methodology we estimated marginal willingness to pay for a wide variety of geographical names present on Argentinean Malbec wine labels sold in foreign markets. New World and Old World markets –well-known classification based on wine production and consumption traditions- have been included in the analysis, in an attempt to provide a comprehensive picture. The United States and the United Kingdom were considered from the former group while the Netherlands and Germany were considered for the latter. For a superior assessment of marginal willingness to pay, analyses were carried out for a Retail data set and an Free on Board data set, which is a novel approach in hedonic pricing. With the former data set we were able to estimate consumers’ willingness to pay for high- to medium-priced Malbec wines sold mostly in specialized shops. The latter data set extended estimates to all price segments sold in the wide diversity of off-trade or on-trade stores, giving insights into intermediates’ marginal willingness to pay.
Overall, results indicate that both in New World and Old World countries, consumers are willing to pay for specific origin based wines when buying Argentinean Malbec wine. Differences between countries indicate that their ‘telescopic ability’ to differentiate geographical names and their willingness to pay vary substantially. United States’ consumers are willing to pay a price premium for many different geographical names, located in all the wine producing regions of Argentina. A similar but weaker behavior pattern was observed for English consumers. In the Netherlands and Germany, a reduced number of geographical names are appreciated by consumers and a strong concentration on specific areas was verified. The observed appreciation of vineyard indication -which is not controlled by law but simply defined by the vintner- in all four markets gives further support to conclusions. Both consumers and intermediate buyers are interested in the origin of the product and thus employ available tools to simplify their difficult purchasing decision.
The revealed appreciation overcomes the lack of effective national and international protection of Argentinean wine geographical indications. Notwithstanding the importance of possible bilateral or multilateral agreements -for enhancing consumers’ ‘telescopic ability’ to recognize and discriminate among terroir-related wine attributes- the assessment of geographical indications territorial governance indicates a lack of collective management of resources. An actual change in producers’ mentality is required for the implementation of an effective geographical indiactions governance system able to benefit from the revealed appreciation. Adequate investments in human capital will be crucial to effectively implement this substantially new strategic approach based on an appropriate collective management of geographical indication property rights

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Performance analysis of the song cycle El Alba del Alhelí by composer Juan Orrego-Salas
Get PDFEl Alba del Alhelí is a work that reveals cultural and intellectual influences in the music of composer Juan Orrego-Salas. Despite being one of the most significant Latin American composers of the 20th century, his music is not frequently performed today. The presentation of this song cycle illustrates a facet of 20th-century Latin American music that does not necessarily conform to the nationalistic or folkloristic ideal that is typically expected. Its analysis reveals Orrego-Salas' way of integrating European and American trends of the 20th century and is at the same time a resource to enliven the interest in Latin American music and composers. Lack of familiarity with the Spanish language is another aspect that leads to not venturing into the Latin American repertoire. In this work, the free translation that accompanies the original edition is replaced by a translation that allows the singer a closer approximation to the content of the poems

Would 'New World' Wines Benefit from Protected Geographical Indications in International Markets? The Case of Argentinean Malbec
No full textThe growth of high value agri-food trade and origin-based marketing strategies has triggered a vigorous debate over the need to protect Geographical Indications (GIs). While domestic protection is a first step, international recognition is crucial for export products. Argentina has not yet signed bilateral or multilateral agreements for international GI recognition, while non-protected geographical names (GNs) are widely used by wineries when exporting. The hedonic literature has largely explored consumers’ willingness to pay for wine attributes, including GIs. However, cross-country analyses have not been conducted for New World wines, and their characteristics have not been evaluated in Old World markets. This paper casts new light on this issue by estimating the implicit price of Argentinean GNs in four different markets: the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany. Overall, the research highlights that – according to the well established wine producing and consuming countries classification – New and Old World consumers differ in their willingness to pay for GNs when buying high- to medium-priced Argentinean wines in specialised shops. The paper concludes by emphasising the market access opportunities offered by an international agreement on GIs protection that would enhance consumers’ ‘telescopic ability’ to recognise and discriminate among terroir-related wine attributes

The Small-Scale Choral Works For Unaccompanied Mixed Chorus Of Juan Orrego-Salas
Get PDFAmong the twentieth-century’s lesser-known composers is Chilean Juan Orrego-Salas (1919-2019), who composed over 125 works in various genres and mediums and led a fruitful career in academia both in his homeland as well as the United States. Having studied previously with Domingo Santa Cruz and Pedro Humberto Allende, Orrego-Salas received grants from the Rockefeller and Guggenheim Foundations that facilitated his travel to the United States to study with Aaron Copland and Randall Thompson. He later served as founding director of the Latin American Music Center in Bloomington, Indiana. His ten unaccompanied works for mixed chorus demonstrate the composer’s early and advanced compositional style. One work, set to the Dickinson poem Let Down the Bars, Oh Death!, has been recently discovered, though the composer had presumed the manuscript lost. In addition, the Ave Maria, op. 111, no. 2 has garnered more attention, receiving a formal world premiere in recent months.Music, Moores School o
