Domestic and External Drivers of Brazilian Pork Price Volatility Under Russian Trade Policies

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how Russian trade policies and domestic factors influence the volatility of Brazilian live swine prices from 2004 to 2019. We employ a DCC‐MGARCH framework, along with volatility impulse‐response functions and the connectedness approach, to analyze time‐varying co‐movement and dynamic volatility spillovers across pork ...

The Herfindahl neutral point: A firm‐level threshold for managing market concentration with evidence from US hog packing

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper derives a firm‐level threshold, the Herfindahl Neutral Point, from the standard concentration index used in merger review. At this threshold, a marginal expansion leaves the index unchanged. Firms below the threshold reduce concentration when they expand; firms above it increase concentration.
