Forty Years of Price Transmission Research in the Food Industry: Insights, Challenges and Prospects: Comment

Henry Kinnucan and [With reply from Tim Lloyd]

Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2019, vol. 70, issue 3, 874-879

Abstract: Lloyd's review of the literature on food price transmission in the Journal of Agricultural Economics (2017) is incomplete in that it omits discussion of technical change and international trade. The purpose of this Comment is to explain why these topics are essential for a proper understanding of price transmission. As a by‐product of the discussion, I show that the pass‐through and pass‐back equations that serve as the basis for Lloyd's theoretical insights are more general than one might think based on Gardner's (American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1975) discussion of these equations.
