The goal of this paper is to analyze price transmission from the international market towards the domestic one, in the case of rice and maize. The countries studied are El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica in Center America and Chile and Brazil in South America. The cointegration method is applied to determine if price transmission exists. Furthermore, error correction models are used to estimate the speed of adjustment to deviations from the long-run relationship between the domestic and international markets. Strong price transmission was found in Chile in the maize market and Brasil in the rice market. …

The main objective of this paper is to provide estimates of the cost of moving out of subsistence for Madagascar's farmers. The analysis is based on a simple asset-return model of occupational choice. Estimates suggest that the entry (sunk) cost associated with moving out of subsistence can be quite large---somewhere between 124 and 153 percent of a subsistence farmer's annual production. Our results make it possible to identify farm characteristics likely to generate large gains if moved out of subsistence, yielding useful information for the targeting of trade-adjustment assistance programs.
