For research on market prices the central market is normally identified either by looking at population data, the volume and directions of flows of commodities, or at nodes on transport networks, or by spotting it as the physical centre of regulatory intervention. This may not be the safest way to proceed if the geographical flows of a commodity among the domestic markets do not provide strong evidence about the spatial direction of price causation.
