Volatility of relative prices and transportation costs: evidence for Brazilian cities

Applied Economics Letters, 2021, vol. 28, issue 10, 872-875

Abstract: This work estimates the effect of transport costs on relative price volatility in Brazilian cities. We use time-varying volatility measures and propose a new proxy for transportation costs. The results of the dynamic panel data models show (little) evidence of a positive impact of transport costs on relative price volatility, only in specifications without the relative wage volatility.
