  1. Market Integration in Wholesale Rice Markets in India By Raghbendra Jha; K.V. Bhanu Murthy; Anurag Sharma
  2. China Business: Experiential Viewpoints and Approaches By Kiyoshi Urakami

  1. By: Raghbendra Jha; K.V. Bhanu Murthy; Anurag Sharma
    Abstract: This paper tests for market integration in 55 wholesale rice markets in India using monthly data over the period January 1970 - December 1999. The technique of Gonzalez-Rivera and Helfand (2001) is used to identify common factors across various markets. It is discovered that market integration is far from complete in India and a major reason for this is the excessive interference in rice markets by government agencies. As a result it is hard for scarcity conditions in isolated markets to be picked up by markets with abundance in supply. A number of policy implications are also considered.
