Structural determinants of market integration: The case of rice markets in Bangladesh

In: The developing economies, Band 33, Heft 2, S. 185-202

Abstract

The authors attempt to understand how different measures of market integration may be used to derive conclusions about the structural determinants of market inegration. After reporting different approaches to measure market integration, highlighting some of their uses, the authors link the previous measures of rice market integration in Bangladesh to structural factors. They conclude that the degree of market integration in this country is rather moderate. (DÜI-Sen)
