  • 1 Assessing the Use of Geographical Indications for the New England Wine Region in NSW
    Assessing the Use of Geographical Indications for the New England Wine Region in NSW Hui-Shung (Christie) Chang, Gene Campbell and Peter Sniekers* Paper presented to 51st AARES Annual Conference 2007, Queenstown, New Zealand, 13-16 February 2007 Abstract Geographical Indications (GIs) have increasingly been used as a marketing tool to create an image of quality and uniqueness, and so capture premium prices. Hedonic pricing studies have shown that indication of geographical origin of production (e.g. country, region, wineries, and location), can affect prices. However, Geographical Indications only work when they are backed up by quality products. The objectives of this study are to assess the potential of a proposed Geographical Indication for the emerging “New England” wine region in promoting local wines and to make recommendations on how that potential, if it exists, can be realised. The assessment is based on an overview of existing systems of Geographical Indications and conditions, both economic and regulatory, which are required for successful geographical indication applications. Key words : geographical indication, TRIPS Agreement, wine marketing, hedonic pricing. *Christie Chang and Gene Campbell are Senior Lecturer and honours student, respectively, in the School of Economics, University of New England and Peter Sniekers is Agribusiness Development Manager, New England – North West, with the NSW Department of State and Regional Development. This document has been prepared with assistance from the Department of State and Regional Development (DSRD) from information and data gathered in the course of its activities.

We coupled the dynamic topography predicted from one of these mantle flow models ot a surface process model to study the evolution of the eastern Australian landscape since the Jurassic Period. We varied the rainfall regime, erodibility, sea level variations, dynamic topography magnitude, and elastic thickness across a series of experiments.
