Pricing to Market Behaviour of Indias High Value Agri-Food Exporters: An Empirical Analysis of Major Destination MarketsIn Agricultural Economics, 47 (1), December 24, 2015, 129-137 (Online Reference: DOI: 10.1111/agec.12215)Poornima Varma and Akash Issar The pricing behaviour of India's high value agricultural and food
exporters in their major destination markets is examined using a
pricing-to-market (PTM) model for noncompetitive and exchange rate related
pricing behaviour. The analysis was undertaken in a context where India is
showing high commodity concentration in agricultural trade. The econometric
analysis employed is panel corrected standard errors (PCSE) estimation
technique. The results indicated evidence of a greater degree of imperfect
competition either through price discrimination across destinations or through
imperfect exchange rate pass-through. The analysis of exchange rate effects
showed that the local currency price stabilization by the Indian exporters were
more prominent than the amplification of exchange rates. The analysis of the
asymmetric effects of exchange rates on export prices showed that in most cases
the depreciation of Indian rupee had a greater impact than the appreciation.
Moreover the results showed that the exchange rate pass-through is sensitive to
the kind of exchange rate index utilised. In our analysis we found that the
commodity specific exchange rate better predicts the pricing to market
behaviour in most cases
