Abstract: This paper aims to evaluate the potential impact of intra-regional trade in moderating food price shocks in south eastern Africa, in the market shed centered in Northern Mozambique, Malawi and Southeastern Zambia. To do so, the following analysis develops a spatially disaggregated model of maize and cassava markets in the region in order to evaluate the impact of supply shocks confronting the region, with and without cross-border trade.
