Market integration

Market integration occurs when prices among different locations or related goods follow similar patterns over a long period of time. Groups of prices often move proportionally to each other and when this relation is very clear among different markets it is said that the markets are integrated. Thus market integration is an indicator that explains how much different markets are related to each other.
