Distance and border effects on price transmission : a meta-analysis
Mengel, Caroline; Cramon-Taubadel, Stephan von - 2014
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...
