Dynamic Transmissions and Volatility Spillovers between Global Price and U.S. Producer Price in Agricultural Markets

Abstract

A considerable number of studies have examined the relationship between global prices and local prices in food-importing nations, but the linkages between international prices and the producer prices of large agricultural exporters have been largely ignored. This paper analyzes the connections between world prices and U.S. producer prices in the wheat, soybeans, and corn markets using a vector error correction generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic model with a multivariate Baba-Engle-Kraft Kroner specification (VECM-GARCH-BEKK) and cross-correlation function (CCF). Our findings indicate firstly that a long-run equilibrium relationship exists between international and U.S. producer prices for the three agricultural crops. It also finds a significant bidirectional causality-in-mean and causality-in-variance between international and U.S. producer prices for these crops. Finally, the empirical results suggest that international wheat and corn prices play a leading role in U.S. local markets in return transmissions and that U.S. wheat price can be considered to be a leading indicator of the global wheat price in volatility transmissions.

Price interconnection of fuel and food markets: Evidence from biodiesel in the United States

“…Soybean is used not only as food but also as livestock feed. Since the United States is the second-largest soybean exporter to various nations such as China and Japan (Food and Agriculture Data, 2022), domestic meat prices in such importing countries could be affected by biofuel policies in the United States, as demonstrated by Guo and Tanaka (2020). The researchers proposed that the US farm-gate price of soybean significantly influences the international soybean price.…”

Transmisi Harga Gabah Terhadap Harga Beras: Tinjauan Arah, Besaran Dan Lama Perubahan

“…Diantara berbagai studi yang melihat kaitan ataupun transmisi perubahan harga gabah di tingkat petani dengan perubahan harga beras di berbagai tingkat perdagangan, masih sedikit yang melakukan eksplorasi mengenai berapa lama transmisi perubahan harga gabah ke harga beras ataupun sebaliknya. Studi yang mempelajari kecepatan transmisi harga dilakukan oleh Guo & Tanaka (2020) yang menghasilkan informasi bahwa terdapat perbedaan kecepatan transmisi perubahan harga komoditas internasional terhadap komoditas pertanian di Cina. Studi lainnya dilakukan Chaudhary et al, (2019) terhadap besaran, kecepatan dan asimetri dari perdagangan beras pada tingkat grosir dan eceran di beberapa kota utama di Filipina.…”

S&P 500 Index Price Spillovers around the COVID-19 Market Meltdown

“…Coronado et al (2017) found that the causality among gold, crude oil, and U.S. stock markets goes in all directions, whereby gold and oil changes can be observed based upon U.S. stock market returns and vice versa. Most of the prior studies have focused on volatility spillovers (e.g., Hong et al 2009;Mensi et al 2018;Guo and Tanaka 2020) as opposed to price spillovers. Some studies focus solely on an individual set of asset prices (e.g., Marquez and Merler 2020).…”
