摘要:This paper investigates the asymmetry of price transmission in the marketing chain of shippingpoints and terminal markets for fresh fruits in the western United States. To preserve thedistinct price patterns related to product perishability, we use data constructed at a fine timescale and representing the vertical markets linked with shipments. Using a decade of weeklydata, we estimate the autoregressive distributed lag price transmission model and derive thedynamic multiplier effects of price responses. Our results indicate that the price adjustmentsand asymmetry patterns are closely related to product characteristics, especially the intensity ofproduct perishability.
