Abstract: In agricultural and food sectors, actors frequently develop collective quality signs. The objective of this article is to propose an analytical framework of collective quality signs seen as specific asset which property is shared. Using the transaction-cost economics approach, we study the determinants of organisational choices of producers using common quality signs. We put in evidence the importance of contractual hazards in the choice of governance structures. Then we study the various mechanisms that constitute the governance of common quality signs.
