For the biofuel markets and related commodities, we study their price transmission, which is in fact equivalent to studying price cross-elasticities. Importantly, we focus on the price dependence of the price transmission mechanism. Several methodological caveats are discussed. Specifically, we...

What is second-generation biofuel technology worth to global society? A dynamic, computable partial equilibrium model (called FABLE) is used to assess changes in global land use for crops, livestock, biofuels, forestry, and environmental services, as well as greenhouse gas emissions, with and...

We estimate the role of biofuel policies in determining which country is the biofuel price leader in world markets using a cointegration analysis and the Vector Error Correction (VEC) model. Weekly prices are analyzed for the EU, U.S, and Brazilian ethanol and biodiesel markets for the 2002-2010...
