In this study, we examined the price transmission dynamics and market integration among domestic markets for Uganda's major staple foods (matoke, maize, and beans) utilizing the Granger causality analysis, bounds test, Wald test for long- and short-run asymmetry, and the nonlinear ARDL model....

This approach enables us to obtain latent regional dynamic factors which correspond well with the 'foreign' parity variables in theory...
