Quality, Efficiency Premia, and Development

Improving quality is an important element of the transfer of production to low wage countries. Higher quality requirements are part of complex contracting arrangements in global supply chains. This paper analyzes how weak contract enforcement institutions and imperfect factor markets are affecting contracting for quality products; what the implications are for growth and equity; and how this changes with development.
