Abstract
This paper explores price transmission at Serbian dairy market for
period 2007-2009. It analyzes milk price transmission on formal milk market for
three products: pasteurized milk, white yoghurt and cheese. From processed raw
milk in dairy plants 17% is turned in pasteurized milk, 35% in fermented liquid
milk products and 31% in cheese and other non-liquid milk products (Popovic,
2009). Monthly data are collected from three levels of milk chain: farm level,
processors and retailers. Three step approach based on: intensity, asymmetry and
time lags in price transmission was applied. Distinction of two market levels was
made, first between farmers and processors and second among processors and
retailers. Additionally price transmission from world to nationally market was
examined.
