Spatial product market integration between two small , open neighbouring economies

چکیده
This paper contributes with an in-depth investigation of spatial wheat producer market integration between two neighbouring countries, net exporting Hungary and net importing Slovenia. One of the key features of this spatial producer price transmission is the very important role Hungary plays in supplying wheat to Slovenia. Using monthly data from January 2000 to April 2011, spatial price transmission is analysed from a number of perspectives, using a wealth of econometric techniques in order to shed light upon the degree of integration, adjustment asymmetries and the role of market share upon price transmission. Empirical results rejected the validity of the Law of One Price, identified Hungary as the price-leading market, confirmed competitive symmetric price adjustment, and emphasized the role of Hungarian market share in total Slovenian imports with respect to wheat price transmission elasticity. The results imply that wheat producer prices in both of the analysed countries tend to be internationally determined. Hungarian exports are unable to price discriminate in wheat trade between the two neighbouring markets.

We examine whether the ‘fear’ of globalisation can be rationalised by economic theory. To do so, we depart from the standard AD/AS (partial) equilibrium model where the coordinational role of the Auctioneer is substituted by an implementation device based on learning (Guesnerie, [11]). By endowing producers with a learning ability to forecast market prices, individual profit-maximizing producti...
