Price volatility transmission of perishable agricultural products: evidence from China

Sažetak
Volatility transmission is a crucial price phenomenon that influences
upstream production and downstream consumption in agricultural
commodity markets. However, existing studies offer little evidence
on how product perishability is related to price volatility transmission
along the agricultural market chain. This study investigates how
price volatilities are transmitted across the farm, wholesale, and
retail stages using high-frequency data from litchi and apple markets
in China. We adopt various MGARCH models and volatility
impulse response functions to evaluate the time evolution of price
volatility correlation, and the direction and magnitude of price volatility
transmission. Empirical results indicate that in the litchi market
chain, the wholesale stage plays a dominant role in price volatility
transmission, and the wholesale and retail stages have higher volatility
spillover effects on the farm stage than vice versa. However, we
find little evidence of price volatility transmission along the apple
market chain. Our findings suggest that the degree of price volatility
transmission is stronger for higher product perishability.
