13. For example, in Becchetti and Constantino's (2006) study of Kenyan farmers, the authors
were unable to isolate the effects of individual certification standards because many of the
farmers studied were Fair Trade certified, Organic certified, and members of a cooperative

14. New research is beginning to move in this direction (Nelson and Martin 2012;
Hainmueller, Hiscox, and Tampe 2011).
15. Some firms use outside auditors to check compliance with their CSR policies in their
sourcing sites. Timberland, for example, hired Verité, a nonprofit labor rights organiza-
tion, to audit the facilities from which they buy their products.
16. ISEAL is beginning to play a role in attempting to define standards for what makes a certi-
fication system credible (see http://www.isealalliance.org/) .
