Work by Other Authors
For a number of years, I have been asked about thinning agricultural markets and below are some current and classic works on the topic.


Historical Work
These are often referred to original agricultural economics research on thin markets.

Some original work on formula pricing - Hayenga Schrader (AJAE 1980).pdf
Some original work on thin markets - Tomek (AJAE 1980).pdf


Agricultural Economics Research
These are a variety of papers on the topic of thin markets.

Recent work on thin egg markets - Peterson (JARE 2005).pdf
Thin markets and price reporting accuracy - Ward Choi (NCCC-134 1998).pdf
Thin markets, contracting, and an experimental market for cattle - sp01ly02.pdf
A taxonomy of thin markets - sp07an01.pdf
There are many agricultural industries with few markets or lessons from poultry, eggs & pork - aer807_9162511A770AA.pdf
A perspective on pricing research - Meyers Sexton Tomek (AJAE 2010).pdf


Business and Economics Research
Market depth is an important topic in business and economics research.  Most research on markets assumes there are enough traders and trading to make a market and that is not necessarily true.

Cason Friedman (1996).pdf
Hou Boldgett (Electronic Markets 2010).pdf
Miron Chapter 9.pdf


National Cheese Exchange Research
There is a long standing interest in the few number of traders in cheese markets and the potential to manipulate the market.
