Data Aggregation and Information Loss

McKee, Gregory J.; Miljkovic, Dragan - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2007

Analysts often use a single average or otherwise aggregated price series to represent several geographic or product markets even when disaggregate data are available. We hypothesize that such an approach may not be appropriate under some circumstances, such as when only long-term relationships...

Pricing to Market, (Seasonal) Cointegration and US Agricultural Exports

Xu, Yun; Sheldon, Ian M. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2005

In this paper, we examine whether US exporters of agricultural commodities price to market. Specifically, we estimate the fixed-effects model of Knetter (1989; 1995), and alternative specifications based on the use of cost indices, and seasonal and vector error correction models that account for the...

THE TRANSMISSION OF PRICE VOLATILITY IN THE BEEF MARKETS

Natcher, William C.; Weaver, Robert D. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 1999

This paper reconsiders the implications of efficient markets for transmission of price volatility across markets. Tests of volatility transmission are based on conditional variances. Results are reported for key grain and beef markets. Transmission across cash, futures, and options is considered.
