ABSTRACT

The work investigates empirically the degree of integration and the hierarchical structure of the EU pork meat markets using tools and concepts from Graph Theory. The empirical results suggest: First, the strength of price co-movement has been closely related to the physical distance between national markets. This, has given rise to market clustering that largely corresponds to different
