  • High-End Variety Exporters Defying Distance: Micro Facts and Macroeconomic Implications
    High-End Variety Exporters Defying Distance: Micro Facts and Macroeconomic Implications J. Martin and F. Mayneris Discussion Paper 2013-27 High-End Variety Exporters Defying Distance: Micro Facts and Macroeconomic Implications∗ Julien Martiny Florian Maynerisz October 2013 Abstract We develop a new methodology to identify high-end variety exporters in French firm- level data. We show that they do not export to many more countries, but they export to more distant ones. This comes with a greater geographic diversification of their aggregate exports. These facts are explained by a lower sensitivity to distance of high-end variety export(er)s. We also show that high-end export(er)s are more sensitive to the average income of the destination country. Because of this different sensitivity to gravity variables, the within-product specialization of a country in the production of high-end varieties is likely to affect its export growth and volatility. We show that a higher sensitivity to per capita income tends to increase the volatility of high-end variety exports. However, a lower sensitivity to distance reduces volatility through a greater geographic diversification. Furthermore, we point out that a lower sensitivity to distance allows high-end varieties to benefit more from growth in more distant markets.

  • Luxury Goods and the Equity Premium
    Luxury Goods and the Equity Premium YACINE AÏT-SAHALIA, JONATHAN A. PARKER, and MOTOHIRO YOGO∗ ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the equity premium using novel data on the consumption of luxury goods. Specifying utility as a nonhomothetic function of both luxury and basic consumption goods, we derive pricing equations and evaluate the risk of holding equity. Household survey and national accounts data mostly reflect basic consumption and therefore overstate the risk aversion necessary to match the observed equity premium. The risk aversion implied by the consumption of luxury goods is more than an order of magnitude less than that implied by national accounts data. For the very rich, the equity premium is much less of a puzzle. ∗Aït-Sahalia is with the Department of Economics and the Bendheim Center for Finance, Princeton University, and the NBER.

    Bin No: 0145 Wine: Champagne Krug Non Vintage Country: France Region: Champagne Producer: Maison Krug Vintage: Non Vintage Colour: White Grape Variety: 33% Pinot Noir - 34% Chardonnay - 33% Pinot Meunier Status: Sparkling, Vegetarian - Vegan Allergens: contains sulphites Dry/Sweet: 2 (1 is dry, 7 is very sweet) abv: 12.0% - bottle size: 75cl Tasting Note: This famous Champagne has an intense bouquet with full round aromas and a superbly rich flavour of roasted hazelnuts ending on a flowery and fresh note. It has an intense bouquet with full round aromas and a superbly rich flavour. Winery information: Joseph Krug wanted to offer his clients the ultimate pleasure experience in Champagne every year, regardless of the vintage. His philosophy was to select grapes from individual plots which will each express their distinctive features, their nuances and their uniqueness. Krug wines show the character and the contrast between the grapes from different plots. Their Krug Grande Cuvée is the archetype of Krugs philosophy of craftsmanship. A blend of around 120 wines from ten or more different vintages, some of which may reach 15 years of age. It is this blending so many vintages that gives Krug Grande Cuvée its unique fullness of flavours and aromas, its incredible generosity and its absolute elegance - something impossible to express with the wines of just a single year. The philosophy is to select grapes from individual plots which will each express their distinctive features, their nuances and their uniqueness. There is no hierarchy in our selection, no plot is favoured over another. A plot may sometimes be smaller than a garden.

    High-End Variety Exporters Defying Distance: Micro Facts and Macroeconomic Implications Julien MARTIN Florian MAYNERIS Université du Québec à Université Catholique Montréal de Louvain October 2013 G-MonD Working Paper n°35 For sustainable and inclusive world development High-End Variety Exporters Defying Distance: Micro Facts and Macroeconomic Implications∗ Julien Martiny Florian Maynerisz December 2013 Abstract We develop a new methodology to identify high-end variety exporters in French firm- level data. We show that they do not export to many more countries, but they export to more distant ones. This comes with a greater geographic diversification of their aggregate exports. In contrast to low-end export(er)s, we find that distance has almost no effect on high-end variety export(er)s. We also show that high-end export(er)s are more sensitive to the average income of the destination country. Because of this different sensitivity to gravity variables at the micro-level, specializing in the production of high-end varieties has two macroeconomic implications for countries. First, the sources of a country's aggregate exports volatility are modified. The higher sensitivity to per capita income increases the sensitivity of high-end variety exports to destination-specific demand shocks, and thus their volatility on a given market. However, their lower sensitivity to distance allows for a greater geographic diversification of their exports, which in turn reduces aggregate volatility through a portfolio effect. Second, the lower sensitivity to distance allows high- end varieties to benefit more from demand growth, especially when it arises in distant markets.

  • Royal Tokaji Overview
    ROYAL TOKAJI OVERVIEW TOKAJI’S ROYAL CONNECTION AND RENAISSANCE The first Tokaji aszú wine was created in the 1600s perhaps by accident — a harvest delayed by threat of enemy invasion. In 1700, Tokaj became the first European region to have its vineyards classified — its uniquely varied terroirs and climates rated “primae classis, secundae classis, tertius classis,” or “first growth, second growth, third growth,” by Prince Rakoczi II of Transylvania. This classification system is still used in Hungary today. Quality production ended with the Communist Party takeover of Hungarian winemaking. Aszú grapes were used for mass production in factories, with vineyard distinctions lost in giant tanks. Tokaj’s renaissance began after the collapse of communism with the establishment of Royal Tokaji in 1990 by well- known author Hugh Johnson and a small group of investors, who were inspired to restore and preserve Hungary’s precious wine legacy. THE TOKAJ REGION Situated along the southern slopes of the Zemplén Mountains, Tokaj is characterized by late springs and short growing seasons. The average temperatures are generally cool, with long, sunny summers and dry autumns. Tokaj’s soil is largely clay or loess with a volcanic substratum. The meeting of the Tisza and Bodrog rivers in Tokaj creates a mist similar to that of the fog in Sauternes. The mist encourages “botrytis cinerea,” or “noble rot,” which dries and shrivels the grapes that comprise Tokaji wines, and concentrates the sugars. Grapes that are infected with botrytis are commonly referred to by the Hungarian term aszú. GRAPE VARIETIES By law, only white grape varieties are allowed to be planted in Tokaj.

  • Champagne's Best Buy
    WINE TRENDS Champagne’s Best Buy: Non-Vintage Bruts by Ed McCarthy and Mary Ewing-Mulligan MW rue Champagne, the unique sparkling wine from the Champagne region in north- T eastern France, will never be inexpensive. It just costs too much to make. But some Champagnes are relatively well-priced and, in view of their quality, can be very good values. These wines are the non- vintage Bruts. The Champagne region is so northerly that its climate is marginal for grape grow- ing. On average, only four or five vintages each decade are warm enough for making vintage Champagne—providing grapes so ripe that they can stand alone without being blended with wines from other years (although the local weather clearly has been warmer than usual since 1989). The Champenois concluded long ago that if they wanted to stay in business, they had to combine wines from several years to com- pensate for all those vintages when the climate is poor. In the 19th century, these so- called “non-vintage” Champagnes were the only type sold. Today, 85 to 90 percent of all Champagne is still non-vintage. Most Champenois find the term “non-vintage” distasteful because they believe that vintage-conscious consumers, especially Americans, might think something is wrong with non-vintage wines. Rémi Krug of Champagne Krug insists on calling his Krug Grande Cuvée a “multi-vintage” Champagne; “non-vintage” is a misnomer, he argues, since there are several vintages in his Champagne. Nonetheless, the cumber- some term “multi-vintage” has not caught on. But you will never see the words “non- vintage” on a non-vintage Champagne, either; what you’ll sometimes see is the word “Classic,” such as in “Deutz Classic Brut.” Champagne producers themselves invariably refer to their non-vintage Bruts as “classic Bruts.” Their rationale for the term is that this type of Champagne was the orig- inal—and for many years the only— type of Champagne produced.

  • The 156Th Edition of the Fullest Expression of Champagne
    THE 156TH EDITION OF THE FULLEST EXPRESSION OF CHAMPAGNE Krug Grande Cuvée is born from the dream of one man, Joseph Krug, to offer the very best Champagne every year, regardless of annual variations in climate. Since 1843, the House of Krug has honoured this vision with each new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée: the fullest expression of Champagne. It is a blend of 118 wines from 10 different years, the youngest of which is from 2000, while the oldest dates back to 1990. Its final composition is 46% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 19% Meunier. Krug Grande Cuvée 156ème Édition spent at least 15 years in Krug's cellars, further developing its particular expression and elegance. Krug Grande Cuvée 156ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2000, a particularly challenging year that followed a brutal winter in 1999 and ended with a bright, mild summer and large grapes with intense flavour. ème .

  • Online Appendix
    Online Appendix High-End Variety Exporters Defying Gravity: Micro Facts and Aggregate Implications Julien Martin∗ Florian Maynerisy January 2015 1 Price dispersion We expect the price dispersion to be higher among Comit´eColbert (vertically differentiated) products than among homogenous products. We identify homogenous goods using the Rauch nomenclature. We consider both homogenous and reference-priced goods. To assess the level of price dispersion, we plot the kernel density of the logarithm of the ratio of individual unit values over the median product-level unit value. The formula is given by: uvfk dispfk = log medk(uvfk) with uvfk the unit value of product k sold by firm f, and medk(uvfk) the median unit value of product k. Considering these log-ratios allows us to compare the dispersion across product categories. To be consistent with our paper, we consider products at the 6-digit level. To avoid bias driven by geographic or temporal composition, we focus on the price dispersion of French exports to Germany in 2005. Our results are robust if one considers other years or other destination countries. The kernel density is presented in Figure1.
