Factors Influencing Price Volatility On Soybeans Futures Prices, Diego J. Gavilanez Hernandez
LSU Master's Theses

First, the integration between energy and agricultural markets is accounted for via oil spot prices, as well as a dummy variable to account for the shift in the U.S renewable fuel policy since 2007. Second, the increasing consumption of commodities from China is …
