It concludes that external influences on domestic prices originate from regional, rather than global, markets. It also shows that, compared to external factors, domestic factors exert a greater influence on Tanzanian maize markets. Further, the mechanisms through which trade policies influence maize markets involve interactions with both external market shocks and domestic weather shocks. Overall, it provides evidence that the intermittent imposition of export bans in Tanzania has had adverse impacts on its maize markets, and consequently, on the development of its agrarian economy.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOGROWTH RATESECONOMIC GROWTHOIL PRICEDOMESTIC SOURCESCOMMODITY EXPORTPRICE LEVELSCOST OF PRODUCTIONRESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGEFAMINESINCOMEINTERESTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONEXTERNAL PRICEEXCHANGEPRICE SETTINGDOMESTIC MARKETDEVELOPING COUNTRIESFOOD POLICYINCENTIVESWORLD MARKETSAGRICULTURAL ECONOMICSPRICINGDOMESTIC PRICEPRICEMARKET INFRASTRUCTUREPRICE UNCERTAINTYINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTEMARKET PARTICIPANTSMAIZEFOOD MARKETSOIL PRICESCEREALSCOMMERCIALIZATIONDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSFOOD POLICY RESEARCHLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESPRICING POLICYPRICE VOLATILITYFOOD PRICESURPLUSPRODUCTSDEMOCRACYSUPPLY SHOCKSMONETARY FUNDMARKETINGMARKETSCONNECTIVITYIMPORTSPRODUCTFOOD POLICIESFAMINEPRICING POLICIESFOOD AIDSOYBEANTAXESPRICE CHANGECLIMATE VARIABILITYDEREGULATIONFOOD PROCESSING FACILITIESCONSUMPTIONMARKET ANALYSISSUBSTITUTEFOOD SECURITYCLIMATE CHANGEPOLICIESDOMESTIC MARKETSINTERNATIONAL TRADEVOLATILITYMARKET CONDITIONSFUTUREMARKET PRICESVALUETHIRD WORLDECONOMIC DATACLIMATEANIMAL FEEDDEMANDLOWER PRICECONSUMER PRICEPRICE CHANGESAGRICULTUREINCOMESPRICE SPREADFUEL PRICESPRICE ADJUSTMENTAVERAGE PRICEMARKETFOODSUPPLY CHAINSMALL COUNTRYPOLICYOUTPUTPRICE MOVEMENTSEXTERNAL MARKETFOOD SURPLUSTRADEDOMESTIC PRICESSECURITYCORNLIQUID MARKETFOOD CROPSLOWER PRICESSHAREFOOD SUPPLYSUPPLYEXTERNAL SHOCKSCOMMODITY MARKETSWHEATFOOD AVAILABILITYINVESTMENTSMARKET INTEGRATIONRICECONSUMER PRICE INDEXCIVIL WARCOMMODITIESARBITRAGEFOOD PRICESPRICE CONTROLSEXTERNAL MARKETSFOOD PROCESSINGPRICE INDEXCOMMODITY PRICESCOMMODITYFOOD STAPLESWORLD MARKETPRICESMARKET FORCESSPREADSTORAGEWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-7338
