Studies showing positive user reaction when viewing on that the product is made in a country that they consider to have high manufacturing standards?

Question

Is it favorable, if so how, for a manufacturer to mention that the product is made in a country that is considered to have high standards of manufacturing?

For example, Volkswagen commercials makes an emphasis to mention that their automobiles are made in Germany. How would this translate on the web?

Answer 1

"The country-of-origin effect (COE) is a psychological effect which occurs when customers are unfamiliar with a product (e.g., product quality) and the image of the product's country of origin has a "halo effect" on the customers' evaluation of the product."
