      Kidane, Dejene Gizaw; Myrland, Øystein; Xie, Jinghua (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-26)
      The farmed salmon supply chain in Europe is changing. There is a growing concentration at intermediary levels in the supply chain and more product differentiation in the market. This means that different price determination processes could apply in various product sub-markets. In this study, price transmission relationships in the salmon value chain were investigated at two different product levels. ...
    • Global Seafood Demand Growth Differences across Regions, Income Levels, and Time 

      Kidane, Dejene Gizaw; Brækkan, Eivind Hestvik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-01)
      We used an index approach to calculate demand growth for seafood in 107 countries from 1984 to 2013. We used the results to calculate aggregate demand growth by income level, regionally, and globally. While seafood production has more than doubled since the mid-1980s, we showed that global demand for seafood has been higher than the global seafood supply. Demand growth for seafood varies across time, ...
    • Market integration and price transmission in the regional grain markets in Ethiopia 

      Kidane, Dejene Gizaw (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-17)
      Persistent increases in basic food prices have become a critical challenge in Ethiopia since 2006. This paper assesses whether the structure of the grain market has contributed to the price increases. Traders having market power could create commodity price stickiness, implying that what goes up does not come down, leading to price increases. The study examines price linkages between principal ...
    • Tangled up in prices going up and down: price determination in selected agri-food markets 

      Kidane, Dejene Gizaw (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-05-02)
      <p>The dissertation includes four papers altogether. Three papers examine mechanisms for price transmission between markets. Among them, one deals with price transmission along the supply chain, and the other two deal with price transmission across spatially distinct markets. The fourth paper measures the effects of demand shifts on the market price equilibrium. <p>Paper 1 investigates price ...
