It presents preliminary results of an analysis of price transmission across spatially dispersed markets between monthly wholesale and retail prices of a variety of food crops in Pakistan, including tomato, onions, other fruits and vegetables, as well as rice, wheat, pulses and milk. It uses a novel methodology that takes into account the complex interactions between agricultural consumer goods. The approach mainly relies on variancecovariance structure of prices and use latent factors. The analysis (i) separates vertical price movements from fluctuations caused by country-wide shocks which affects all commodities with variable impact on individual commodities; (ii) quantifies the impact of price fluctuations in selected commodities in India on retail prices in Pakistan, and (iii) investigates if there are asymmetric responses to increases and de...

However, empirical evidence shows no such effects. It is demonstrated that in low‐wage economies ...
