In these two sectors model the monthly computed economic<br />variables are: index of industrial production, index of agricultural prices and index of<br />industrial prices. These variables were seasonally adjusted. The result suggests that agricultural<br />prices decrease relatively to industrial prices during periods of economic crises, while<br />the agricultural prices increase relatively to industrial prices during periods of economic<br />growth, accordingly to the model used on the analysis.</p><p><strong>JEL Classification:</strong> Q11; E31.</p> ER -
