Considering the great number of certification schemes in the food sector, it is surprising that there are just a few research approaches about the economics of certification. In the long run only a reliable control procedure reduces the risk of food scandals. Our paper presents a model including several starting points to ensure the efficiency of certification systems. Nevertheless, all changes involve side effects. Therefore, steps to optimise certification schemes or auditing approaches should be considered carefully. On the whole, dumping prices on the certification market and considerable differences in performance reveal the necessity of institutional changes.
