Asymmetry in price transmission in agricultural markets.

This paper explores the extent of price transmission from inter-national agricultural prices to local producer prices. The question is whether price transmission is different when international prices go up from when they go down. From a theoretical prospect we expect the presence of oligopsonies in agricultural markets to lead to a stronger price transmission when prices decline. Empirical results suggest that this is the case.
