Relative Agricultural Prices and Monetary Policy

John S. Lapp

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1990, vol. 72, issue 3, 622-630

Abstract: An imperfect information, rational expectations model of relative price determination is presented. This model provides an econometric specification for testing for a causal relationship between money and the relative prices of agricultural commodities. Test results indicate that variations in the growth rate of the nominal money supply (whether anticipated or unanticipated) have not been an important influence on the average level of prices received by farmers relative to other prices in the economy over the period 1951–85.
