The objective of this paper is to provide an empirical evidence for whether the hierarchical position (determined by firm’s quality strength) of different types of quality supply chain categories implies the same hierarchy in terms of economic gains. Using data collected in France through a survey, we distinguish between four types of quality supply chain categories that help us to empirically construct a relationship between firms and their suppliers (quality certified/non-quality certified). Our findings, from a two-regime switching model, reveal that there is a positive correlation between the hierarchical positions of the quality supply chain categories and the impact on firm performance (measured by profit per employee).
