Non-linear price transmission between biofuels, fuels and food commodities
Krištoufek, Ladislav; Janda, Karel; Zilberman, David - 2013
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...
