Abstract
⺠We investigate daily data of wholesale prices of agricultural products in Japan. ⺠We model the product delivery patterns and regional price differentials in the data. ⺠Ignoring delivery choices biases downwardly distance effects on price differentials. ⺠We estimate a sample-selection model imposing the model's theoretical restrictions. ⺠We find much larger estimates of the distance elasticity of price differential.
