I exploit the grand cru classification of the chateaux of the Médoc created in as a fixed hierarchical symbol of class status.

The classification cannot be reversely affected by the quality chateaux produce or the prices they charge which greatly facilitates the estimation of the causal effect. To discern whether status serves as a signal of quality under Chinese Overseas America Number Data ncertainty or satisfies the motive of conspicuous consumption I study a period of time during which the uncertainty about quality has arguably declined. An instrumental variable and a matching estimator identify a symbolic effect of status on prices. The effect increases in a time of decreasing uncertainty which supports the motive of conspicuous consumption as a driver of the effect.
