It is generally argued that before embarking on any intervention in domestic grain market, better understanding of price formation and possible scenarios of the dynamic grain market environment is crucial for policymakers to make informed decisions. This study aimed at examining the price formation and dynamics in the Ethiopian maize market. Furthermore, this article empirically investigate spatial maize market linkages and test maize price leadership role in order to understand as to whether or not there is a central maize market that dictate and lead price information flow over regional maize markets in Ethiopia. ; http://jast.modares.ac.ir ; am2018 ; Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development UR - http://hdl.handle.net/2263/65879 UR - https://www.pollux-fid.de/r/base-ftunivpretoria:oai:repository.up.ac.za:2263/65879 H1 - Pollux (Fachinformationsdienst Politikwissenschaft) ER -
