Foodgrain consumption and calorie intake patterns in Ethiopia (2011, unknown): “Given the poor market integration and inefficiency in the mobility of goods and information among regions (see e.g., Negassa & Myers 2007; Osborne 2004), one would expect such regional consumption variations to follow the regions’ specialization in the production of specific grains.”
Spatial integration at multiple scales: rice markets in Madagascar (2009, unknown): “Osborne (2005), for example, finds marked differences in trader competition across different locations in Ethiopia, with the larger market with better communications more likely to enjoy competitive tradable equilibrium than smaller markets less well integrated into broader commercial networks.”
Price Transmission and Trader Entry in Domestic Commodity Markets (2008, background): “The difference is typically explained by high transport and transaction cost and by monopsonic rents captured by private traders or public marketing boards (Staatz, Dione, and Dembele 1989; Akiyama et al. 1999; Coulter and Poulton 1999; Osborne 2005).”
