Despite self-sufficiency exceeding 100 percent, West Germany has continued to import wheat from its EC partners. One factor which may play a role in these flows is the agri-monetary system. In a comparative static framework, hypotheses are formulated regarding the impact of agri-monetary...

Earlier attempts to test for asymmetric price transmission have been based on an econometric specification that is shown to be inconsistent with reintegration. An alternative specification based on the error correction representation is proposed and applied to transmission between producer and...

We analyse topics and authorship networks in articles on agricultural transition that were published in 16 subject-related peer-review journals between 1989 and 2008. Increasingly, articles on transition are written by authors from the European Union-15 in collaboration with authors from Central...

The regulation of seasonal foreign farm labour (SFFL) in Germany distorts market outcomes and produces no significant benefits for any of the affected groups. Analysis of the media discourse on this regulation indicates that its persistence can be attributed to the political sensitivity of...

Analysis of price transmission in transition countries is often complicated by unstable policy environments. We use a Markov-switching vector error-correction model (MSVECM) to model multiple regime shifts in the relationship between wheat and wheat flour prices in Ukraine from June 2000 to...
