| Testing for asymmetric price transmission and calculating elasticities of price transmission are of great importance in applied economics. We analyze the behavior of tests for asymmetry according to the conventional Houck approach and to the von Cramon-Taubadel and Loy error correction model (ECM) approach. We also estimate the short-run and long-run elasticities of price transmission between the farm and retail levels of the marketing channel for whole milk and two-percent milk for seven U.S. cities by model.

Price transmission elasticities in conjunction with rising farm prices... |
