Market integration in Mozambique: A non-parametric extension to the threshold model
One of the main drawbacks of current methods to measure market integration is the assumption of constant transaction costs. In this paper, we propose a non-parametric extension to the commonly used threshold models, allowing us to estimate transaction costs in a more flexible way. We illustrate the...

| description | One of the main drawbacks of current methods to measure market integration is the assumption of constant transaction costs. In this paper, we propose a non-parametric extension to the commonly used threshold models, allowing us to estimate transaction costs in a more flexible way. We illustrate the method using weekly price data on maize collected in selected markets in Mozambique. |
