dc.description.abstractWhile previous studies have investigated country-of-origin effect from various angles, the extent to which Country-of-Origin Labelling (COOL) affects U.S. beef imports from specific countries remains unexplored. Using data from 1,079 consumers from the United States, we examined consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for Canadian and Australian beefsteaks. We also estimated WTP for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)tested traceability-enabled, tenderness-assured, and natural beef. The results from both a mixed logit model and a latent class model (LCM) revealed unobserved taste heterogeneity and important differences in the WTP between the imported and domestic steak. The LCM, for instance, estimated the range of discount needed for consumers to switch from U.S. to Canadian steak as $1.09 to $35.12 per pound. This strongly suggested that U.S. consumers prefer domestic-originated beef to imported beef. In addition, consumers were found to be willing to pay significant amount for BSE-tested, traceability-enabled, and tenderness-assured beef. Bien que des etudes anterieures aient examine les repercussions de l'etiquetage du pays d'origine sous differents angles, les repercussions de cet etiquetage obligatoire sur les importations etatsuniennes de bOEuf en provenance de pays specifiques ne l'ont pas ete. l'aide de donnees tirees d'un echantillon de 1079 consommateurs etatsuniens, nous avons examine le consentement a payer (CAP) pour du bifteck en provenance du Canada et de l'Australie. Nous avons egalement examine le CAP des consommateurs pour du bOEuf provenant d'un animal ayant subi un test de depistage de l'ESB, tracable, de tendrete assuree et naturel. Les resultats obtenus a l'aide d'un modele logit mixte et d'un modele a classes latentes ont revele une heterogeneite non observee du gout et des ecarts importants dans le CAP pour du bifteck provenant des Etats-Unis et de l'exterieur du pays. Le modele a classes latentes, par exemple, a revele que les ecarts de rabais necessaires pour que les consommateurs delaissent le bifteck americain pour le bifteck canadien variaient de 1,09 $a 35,12 $ la livre. Ces resultats montrent clairement que les consommateurs etatsuniens preferent le bOEuf des Etats-Unis plutot que le bOEuf importe. Les resultats montrent egalement que les consommateurs sont prets a payer plus cher pour du bOEuf provenant d'un animal ayant subi un test de depistage de l'ESB, tracable et de tendrete assuree.-
