Abstract For some commodities and time periods, the analysis of price fluctuations must necessarily rely on the existence of price data alone. A theory applicable in such circumstances is outlined for commodities that are storable, traded in open markets and subject to net supply shocks which are heterogeneously distributed across the months of the year. Market prices are predicted to vary autoregressively except at times when wheat stocks become negligible and observed market prices exceed threshold prices (which may themselves differ across months). The model is applied to a monthly time series of wheat prices for southern England from 1685 to 1850. The autoregressive parameter and the threshold prices are estimated, substantial empirical support being found for the models tested. Historical events from the late seventeenth century through to the continental wars in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries are used to illustrate the mechanisms underlying the theory.

The authors are Professor and Senior Lecturer, respectively, in the Department of Economics at the University of Essex. They are grateful to J. Oeppen and R. S. Schofield, of the ESRC Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure, who went to the trouble of locating and extracting some of the data used here. Joanne McGarry provided valuable research assistance in constructing the price series. Professors M. Overton and M. E. Turner offered helpful guidance at a crucial juncture. Constructive criticism from two referees improved both the substance and exposition of the paper, though the authors retain their culpability for all remaining errors.
