The relationship between farm production costs, producer prices and retail food prices is frequently the subject of research. This study examines the existence of cointegrating relationships between the above variables and their direction of causality. Data used refer to price indices of farm...

Concepts and developments in the literature of economic growth and convergence have recently been adopted and used in the study of inflation rate convergence. This paper examines initially the existence of â-convergence, as mean reversion, of food price inflation rates in the European Union,...

Relationships between monetary variables and price indices continue always to be the subject of research interest and studies. This paper examines the relationship between money supply and retail food prices in Greece, using individual time series of monthly data for these variables. ADF unit...

Traditionally, the analysis of regional economic convergence is based on the notions of β-convergence and Å“É-convergence. However, both of these approaches have several drawbacks and limitations. To overcome these difficulties, we apply a more recent non-parametric approach in...

Theoretical developments and discussions on growth and regional convergence have been accompanied by another debate, associated with the type of data used and quantitative approaches adopted in empirical research. Estimation of convergence equations continues to play a key role in the study of...

Traditionally, the analysis of regional economic convergence is based on the notions of β-convergence and σ-convergence. However, both of these approaches have several drawbacks and limitations. To overcome these difficulties, we apply a more recent non-parametric approach in the convergence...

This paper examines the existence of convergence and distribution dynamics of food price inflation rateswithin the European Union. Differences in such specific price index inflation rates and changes in their regionaldistributions reflect largely differences and developments in market conditions...

This paper examines the existence of convergence and distribution dynamics of food price inflation rates within the European Union. Differences in such specific price index inflation rates and changes in their regional distributions reflect largely differences and developments in market...

The neoclassical growth model has been supported by a large amount of regional and cross-country studies providing evidence of â-convergence. Nevertheless, it faces theoretical and empirical challenges which are still the subject of research on the dynamics of growth. Consideration of human...

This survey-based paper investigates the impact of socio-demographic factors, along with political perceptions, as expressed by attitudes towards globalization, on consumer attitudes towards GM foods, in Greece. Different aspects of consumer attitudes regarding GM foods are examined, such as...
