This paper investigates the international quarterly prices of wheat and rice from 1983(1) to 2012(4). The empirical analysis takes place with the structural time series methodology which decomposes the price series into their trend, cycle, seasonal and irregular components. The empirical results...

This paper examines the supply response of the Greek pork market. A GARCH process isused to estimate expected price and price volatility, while price and supply equations areestimated jointly. In addition to the standard GARCH model, several different symmetric,asymmetric, and nonlinear GARCH...

This study examines the supply response of the Greek beef market and the possible effect of the European Union’sCommon Agricultural Policy (CAP) on the Greek beef sector during the period 1993-2005. A GARCH process is used to estimateexpected price and price volatility while several different...

This paper examines supply response models in a rational expectations framework for each one of the fourmajor Greek meat markets, i.e. beef, broiler, lamb and pork. A multivariate GARCH model with Choleskydecomposition is used to incorporate price volatility into the rational expectations supply...

This paper investigates producer-consumer price volatility in four meat markets in Greece: beef, pork, lamb and poultry. The methodology followed in this paper to measure price volatility is that of the diagonal VEC (DVEC) model of Bollerslev, et al (1988) while that of decomposing the estimated...
