Abstract: Based on the monthly data of Chinese and Canadian rapeseed future prices and spot prices form January 2013 to December 2015, directed acyclic graph and SVAR model were adopted to analyze the dynamic relationship between Chinese and Canadian rapeseed future prices and spot prices. It was shown that Canadian rapeseed futures market played a relatively strong price discovery function on its rapeseed spot market, while Chinese rapeseed futures market played a relatively weak price discovery function on its rapeseed spot market. Although Chinese rapeseed market took part in international rapeseed pricing to a certain degree, it still needed to be improved.

Key words: rapeseed, future prices, spot prices, DAG, SVAR model
