Abstract: This study investigates price discovery performance for the 11 most traded agricultural commodity futures in China, proposing an improved recursive cointegration analysis. Despite a relatively short trading history and being subject to various policy interventions, China's agricultural futures markets generally play a more dominant role in the price discovery process as the markets become mature, even with further allowance for time variations and regional variations in the price discovery process. Additional analysis reveals various determinants of the contribution of futures versus local cash market prices in the price discovery process. There may also be seriously misleading inferences drawn from using nearby futures data in China.
