The Empirical Study Of Geographical Indications To Promote Agricultural Economic Development

Over the years, central first document has been attaching importance toagricultural reform and development, the central first document in2014particularlyemphasize on deepening the comprehensive agricultural reform and speeding up theprocess of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics, and bystrengthening agricultural support and protection system to build sustainabledevelopment long effective mechanism becomes the focus of this year’s document.GIs, as a IP system, are increasingly of concern, and they are mainly in features ofspecialty agricultural products, clear regional characteristics, with a strong brandeffect, high added value. So to speak, promoting agricultural modernization withChinese characteristics While developing the process of development with Chinesecharacteristics cannot go on without the development of geographical indications.And in recent years, the rapid development of GIs has become the main way topromote rural economic development and to promote large-scale production ofagricultural products.this paper takes the impact of GIs promoting agricultural economicdevelopment as a perspective, and based on the basic theory of geographicalindications outlined, it promotes deeper theoretical study of geographical indicationspromoting agricultural economic development, and then links geographicalindications and agricultural economic development closely to build themulti-regression model for various empirical analysis of the impact of geographicalindications to agricultural development. Before， A large number of scholarsresearched on GIs have stayed at the level of basic theory, or from the perspectiveof the law to investigate the system of protection of geographical indications,empirical research on geographical indications literature is quite scarce, so theeconomic perspective of empirical research on the relation between agriculture andGIs is very important. The paper is divided into five chapters, the first chapter is anintroduction, including research background and significance, literature review fromhome and broad, research ideas and content as well as paper’s innovations. Thesecond chapter is the theoretical basis of geographical indications, including theconcept of geographical indications, geographical indications characteristics, thecurrent developmental situation and the protection situation of GIs. The third chapteris a theoretical study of GIs promoting rural economic development, including anumber of economic theory and the analysis of impact mechanisms of GIs for agricultural output, large-scale agricultural production, agricultural income percapita, agricultural employment. The fourth chapter of the empirical part, is the corepart of the thesis. It takes the country only two GIs investigation report as thebackground, using cross-sectional data of the country’s31provinces, througheviews6.0software to build the multiple regression model. More details, first, ittakes respectively2004and2010agricultural output, agricultural income per capita,the number of agricultural employment, the number of agricultural productsprocessing enterprises as explained variables, and takes the number of GIs, totalfixed asset investment in agriculture, the exports of agricultural products asexplanatory variables. Then through two years of data, it studies the influence of GIsin agricultural output, large-scale production of agriculture and agriculturalemployment, agricultural income per capita. finally it draws conclusions from theanalysis of the empirical results. The fifth part, conclusion and policyrecommendations, puts forward policy recommendations for the development ofgeographical indications through the empirical research results of Chapter IV.Conclusions of the paper shows that GIs has more significant positive effect onagricultural output, Large-scale production of agriculture and agriculturalemployment, which is to say that GIs promotes the development of agriculturaleconomy in certain extent.
