Authors : Tebache Djamal . Chetbani Saida .

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explain how financial globalization can carry agricultural market to inefficiency. It shows the dark side of financial globalization. Corona virus health crisis and recent War in Ukraine has resurrected the episode of cereal market volatility. In this study, we started from the microeconomics-funded analysis until macroeconomic evidences. We focused on Bernoulli’s deductions and VNM analysis, to explain how the financial globalization can affect cereal’s market efficiency through professionals’ behavior. Results indicate that, the long run relationship should be confirmed. That is how the professional’s activity will be subject to non-professionals activity in financial globalization context. Hence the information asymmetry between market participants.
