The Impact of Unit Train Rates Upon Spatial Price Differentials for Corn
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe grain marketing system is a complex of many activities in which transportation plays an important role. Transportation is not only an important physical function, but it also has an important role in price relationships, since prices at the numerous points comprising the grain market are linked by transportation costs. Changes in transportation cost (rates) can alter spatial price relationships, along with the pattern and direction of grain flow and the demand for transportation.
