A model of vertical differentiation is used to analyze the introduction of continuous and binary labeling in a market for credence goods under autarky and free trade. In the case of binary labeling, welfare is increased if the standard is set above the level that would be chosen under continuous labeling under autarky. In the case of free trade, the effects depend on whether binary labeling is harmonized or whether there is mutual recognition of different standards.
