Abstract : Confirms the hypothesis that Chinese rice markets were integrated. Interior markets (Hangkou, Wuhu, and Changsha) probably had more impact on Shanghai prices than previously supposed, but the precise nature of the time lags in price movements must await the availability of more data.

Note : This is an study based on econometrics. It is a tentative exploration of the topic.
