This study, set against the backdrop of escalating trade tensions between China and the United States, examines the impact of soybean tariff adjustments on the abnormal asymmetric behavior in the futures market. By employing specialized analytical methods that capture market volatility asymmetry...

Soybeans play a critical role in China's food system and hold significant importance in ensuring national food security. This study explores the correlation between soybean futures prices and international soybean import prices. It employs a time-series model to analyse the volatility of the...

Agriculture, and especially soybean production, has a critical role in Argentina's economy, as a major contributor to GDP and export revenue. This paper studies the impact of climate variability on soybean yields in Argentina using a novel department-level dataset spanning 1980-2023. We estimate...

Building upon the argument that factor endowments influence distributional outcomes, this paper examines the consequences of the China shock to global food markets for economic inequality in Brazilian municipalities from 1985 to 2020. I propose a new identification strategy that exploits...

Quantifying the carbon footprint of agricultural products is crucial for effective carbon mitigation and responsible sourcing, given that the food production system accounts for approximately one-third of global carbon emissions. While country- and sector-specific carbon accounting offers broad...

We evaluate potential adoption of drought tolerant HB4 technology in soybeans. Empirical analysis focuses on Argentine agriculture. The following two-step approach is used. First, a choice experiment is carried out to estimate average willingness-to-pay (WTP) for the HB4 technology. Average WTP...

Implementation of the European legislation on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) requires the monitoring of the presence of GMOs in food or feed by analytical tests. The analytical tests are carried out by laboratories designated for official controls by the EU Member States. In line with...

During geopolitical crises, the price stability of agricultural commodities is critical for national security. Understanding the dynamics of pricing power between the U.S. and China and how it varies over time can help smaller nations navigate unpredictable moments. This study uses a unified...

Implementation of the European legislation on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) requires monitoring their presence in food and feed by analytical testing. The analytical tests are carried out by laboratories designated for official controls by the EU Member States. In line with Regulation...

Soybeans, a vital source of protein for animal feed and an essential industrial raw material, are the most traded agricultural commodity worldwide. Accurate price forecasting is crucial for maintaining a resilient global food supply chain and has significant implications for agricultural...

The magnitude and sign of risk premiums provide relevant information on the structure of a given market. However, there is no consensus on commodity markets if there is a risk premium, and if so, if it is positive or negative. In addition, in recent years, there has been a discussion on the...

The pairs trading strategy involves selecting two highly correlated securities to profit from mean reversion. However, the traditional simple threshold method is subjective, random, and ignores nonlinear relationships. This paper proposes a new cointegration deep reinforcement learning (DRL)...

Output markets usually respond to input price changes asymmetrically, with prices rising faster than they fall, known as the rockets and feathers pattern. We expand the vector autoregressive quantile (VARQ) model by incorporating quantile cointegrating relationships to investigate such...

Die Schätzung der Angebotsreaktionen von Landwirten auf veränderte Rahmenbedingungen ist wichtig, um Entscheidungsträger über die erwarteten Auswirkungen einer Maßnahme auf das Produktionsvolumen und die daraus resultierenden Landnutzungsänderungen zu informieren. Bestehende Modelle für...

The 2018 United States Farm Bill has opened the possibility for farmers to increase their profits through hemp cultivation. The literature suggests hemp has the potential to replace soybeans in soybean-wheat double-cropping because hemp shares key attributes of soybeans as a rotation crop...

Understanding how and the extent to which contract farming arrangements impact agricultural productivity is important to ensuring that policies are designed to maximize the likelihood of success. Using cross-sectional data from 516 soybean farmers in Northern Ghana, we provide empirical evidence...

This paper focuses on the challenges in the logistics of rice and soybeans in Indonesia. Rice distribution is complicated because rice production is concentrated in Java, while its consumption is high all over Indonesia. Soybeans are predominantly import and must contend with both import...

Hunger, Kriege, Erderwärmung - eng miteinander verknüpfte Zustände und Risiken - sinddie Geißeln der Menschheit, besonders in den davon stark betroffenen Regionen im GlobalenSüden. Daher verbrieft die Weltgemeinschaft in den Entwicklungszielen der VereintenNationen (Sustainable Development...

The research was carried out at the Turda Agricultural Research and Development Station (ARDS), located in the hilly area of Transylvania and followed the influence of weed infestation on the Felix soybean variety yield, grown in two tillage systems (CS-conventional-plow, NT-...

The purpose of the work is to analyze the main production, processing and storage capacities of rapeseed, sunflower and soybean boxes in Romania, starting from general information such as cultivated areas, productions, the number and capacity of storage spaces, the analysis is based on...

Soil salinization can affect the ecological environment of soil and alter greenhouse gas emissions. Chitooligosaccharides and AMF reduced the greenhouse gas fluxes of salinized soil, and this reduction was attributed to an alteration in the rhizosphere microecology, including changes in the...

Soybean is an important source of oil and vegetable protein and plays a key role in agricultural production and economy. A suitability evaluation of soybean cultivation is important for identifying potential soybean planting areas. Based on the raster data of soybean harvest ratio (FSHA) and...

In March 2018, the US used an immense trade deficit as an excuse to provoke trade friction with China. This study uses the EGARCH model and event study methods to study the impact of the major risk event of Sino-US trade friction on soybean futures markets in China and the United States. Results...
