- Abstract:
-
Using monthly price data of beef, pork, broilers, apples, strawberries, potatoes and tomatoes we compare and contrast price volatility before and after COVID-19 pandemic. We also compare and contrast the price volatility among meat, fruits and vegetables before and after COVID-19. Our analysis shows how COVID-19 induced disruptions affected these commodities’ price. Our empirical results suggest that COVID-19 has a significantly positive impact on increasing prices of beef, pork and strawberries. On the other hand, COVID-19 has a negative impact on potatoes prices. COVID-19 has no significant effects on broilers, apples and tomatoes prices. Gasoline prices and all three kind of meat prices have a positive relationship.
