摘要：Vertical markets for foods are linked through pricing systems with much of the performance seen through how well price information is reflected at points of exchange. Price linkage models are estimated using recursive asymmetric methods for measuring price linkages in the U.S. food distribution system for 100 food commodities from January 1995 to June 2009. Preliminary results show that price linkages to be strong but declining over time with evidence of asymmetric in the long run. Long run rising prices are pass through more than falling.
