Significance
• Definition: Spatial market integration = net producers are connected to net consumers through price arbitrage
• Importance for Mozambique: – Large ag potential of north and central
Mozambique to feed Maputo and rest of SE Africa
– Food security: pockets of hunger are on the increase due to climatic shocks

The Concept of Market Integration - To integrate local markets into the wider economy,
the “transaction cost” is a key variable -

The Theory of Spatial Price Equilibrium
• Correlation coefficient • Cointegration and error correction • The parity bounds model • Threshold autoregressive/cointegration

Non-parametric extenstion
• TAR model, but estimate transaction cost using locally weighted least squares
• Iterative method: – Estimate a standard TAR model (ρ,TC) – Fix adjustment parameter and estimate transaction
cost using locally weighted LS (TCt) – Using new transaction cost, re-estimate adjustment
parameter – Repeat until criterion is met (i.e.|Δρ|<0.0005)

Policy Options to Increase Market Integration
• Transport infrastructure: • Information systems • Increase competition among traders ->
formalize trade of trader – Credit – Insurance – Quality control
