Demand and Price Analysis in Agricultural and Food Economics

Dear Colleagues,

The agricultural and food sector plays an important role in the global economy as a supplier for food and agricultural products, as well as a source of revenue for the rural population. This sector is characterized by its complexity, where demand and price dynamics influence production, consumption, and trade patterns. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for informed policy-making, efficient resource allocation, and ensuring food security.

This Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of these dynamics by providing a platform for research and analysis on demand and price analysis in this vital sector of the economy.

The issue will focus on exploring consumer behavior, market trends, policy interventions, market volatility, and the impact of technological advancements on agricultural and food markets. It welcomes diverse methodological approaches, including econometric modeling, machine learning modeling, experimental studies, and qualitative analysis.

By situating itself within the existing literature, the Special Issue aims to renew academic interest in demand and price analysis as a cornerstone in the economic analysis, stimulate further research on the topic, and inform the policy-making process.
