Description
Summary:The objective of this paper is to evaluate the dynamics of price transmission between corn and poultry markets in Brazil from 2000 to 2010. The Dickey-Fuller Generalized Least Square (DF-GLS) unit root test, the Granger causality (1969), the Johansen cointegration test (1988), Vector Error Correction Model (VEC) and the weak exogenicity tests are applied. We can conclude that have a long run interaction between corn and poultry markets in Brazil (cointegration). The estimated elasticity price transmission shows that 40% of the variations in the corn prices are transmitted to the chicken prices. The exogenicity test indicated that price transmission between this markets are unidirectional, the corn price can consi- dered weak exogenous.
