When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...
