In a meta-analysis of trade policy models, Hess and von Cramon-Taubadel (2008) use over 5800 simulated welfare effects from 110 studies of potential Doha Development Agenda outcomes to identify characteristics of models, data and policy experiments that influence simulation results. This...

This study explores the link between proximity and price cointegration between two markets, where proximity is captured with variables for geographical, political and cultural distance. Linear and threshold cointegration is tested for a set of 756 rice market pairs in 6 West African countries,...

In a meta-analysis of spatial price transmission (PT) literature we aim to test for the presence of distance and border effects on price transmission. We use PT estimates for 1189 cereal market pairs extracted from 57 studies and seek to explain them by airline distance and existence of a...

We investigate competitiveness and price behaviour in the Israeli citrus export sector following the removal of the government export monopoly and the entry of private export companies in 1991.

This study uses a rich dataset of 85 market pairs between January 2000 and October 2008 for Kenya, Tanzanian and Uganda, the three largest member countries of the East Africa Community, to analyze the factors determining national and cross-national maize price transmission. Although the three...

The impact of cross sectional aggregation over individual retail stores on the estimation and testing of vertical price transmission between the wholesale and retail levels is investigated using a unique data set of individual retail prices in Germany. Systematic differences between the results...

Mehr als die Hälfte aller deutschen Altsauen wird in Nordrhein-Westfalen geschlachtet. Die Ergebnisse linearer und asymmetrischer Fehler-Korrektur-Modelle belegen, dass sich insbesondere Preisrückgänge in Nordrhein-Westfalen zügig auf die Notierungen in anderen Bundesländern auswirken,...

The development of pork prices has been analysed since the 1920s. Well known economic concepts such as Hanau’s pork cycle or Ezekiel’s cobweb theorem are based on the empirical analysis of pork markets. We analyze whether pork price developments in different countries have become...
