I look for signs of manipulation of the price of almonds in the markets of Albacete, Murcia, and Reus in Spain. To that end, I use Benford’s Law to analyze the distribution of the second and third digits of the price of almonds. I find that prices in the Albacete and Reus markets deviate from Benford’s Law, especially for the third digit, and those in the Murcia market deviate from Benford’s Law for the second digit but not for the third digit. I therefore find signs that the price of almonds in the Spain’s main markets is being manipulated.

追踪西班牙杏仁的价格

我在西班牙的阿尔巴塞特、穆尔西亚和雷乌斯市场寻找操纵杏仁价格的迹象。为此,我使用本福德定律来分析杏仁价格的第二位和第三位数字的分布。我发现阿尔巴塞特和雷乌斯市场的价格偏离本福德定律,尤其是第三位数,穆尔西亚市场的价格偏离本福德定律第二位数,但不偏离第三位数。因此,我发现西班牙主要市场的杏仁价格受到操纵的迹象。
