description This research investigates the spatial market integration of the Chilean wheat market in relation with its most representative international markets by using a vector error correction model (VECM) and how a price support policy, as a price band, affect it. The international market was characterized by two relevant wheat prices: PAN from Argentina and Hard Red Winter from the United States. The spatial market integration level, expressed in the error correction term (ECT), allowed concluding that there is a high integration degree among these markets with a variable influence of the price band mechanism mainly related with its estimation methodology. Moreover, this paper showed that Chile can be seen as price taker as long as the speed of its adjustment to international shocks, being these reactions faster than in the United States and Argentina. Finally, the results validated the "Law of the One Price", which assumes price equalization across all local markets in the long run.

Este trabajo investiga la integración espacial del mercado chileno de trigo en relación con sus principales mercados internacionales, mediante el uso de un modelo de corrección de error (VECM) y cómo este parámetro es afectado por la utilización de una política de estabilización de precios. Los mercados internacionales fueron caracterizados a través de dos precios relevantes: PAN de Argentina y Hard Red Winter de los Estados Unidos. En este sentido, el nivel de integración espacial del mercado chileno, expresado en el coeficiente de corrección de errores, permitió concluir que existe un alto grado de integración entre los mercados considerados, con una influencia variable del mecanismo de protección de precios debido principalmente a su metodología de estimación. Además, este trabajo demostró que Chile puede ser considerado como un tomador de precios internacionales equivalente a la velocidad de ajuste a los impulsos provenientes de Argentina y los Estados Unidos, los cuales debido principalmente a su tamaño, reaccionan más lentamente a los "shocks" provenientes del mercado internacional. Finalmente, los resultados permitieron validar la "Ley del Precio Único", la cual asume ecualización de precios en el largo plazo para los mercados espacialmente vinculados. Fil: Valdés, Rodrigo.
