Dynamics of volatility behaviour and spillover from crude to energy crops: Empirical evidence from India

The study is an attempt to investigate the impact of crude prices on energy crops; Soyabean, Wheat and Sugarcane for India for the period Jan 2016-Dec 2020. The study mainly covered two dimensions; the spillover of volatility from crude to the energy crops and the asymmetric angle. The econometric t...

description The study is an attempt to investigate the impact of crude prices on energy crops; Soyabean, Wheat and Sugarcane for India for the period Jan 2016-Dec 2020. The study mainly covered two dimensions; the spillover of volatility from crude to the energy crops and the asymmetric angle. The econometric tests employed under the study were GARCH(1,1), TGARCH(1) and AR(2)-EGARCH(1,1) Models. The results revealed that return on crude was impacting two crops; sugarcane and wheat while it had no impact on soyabean. The ‘T-GARCH’ results revealing asymmetry were statistically significant for all the three crops, however since soyabean did not have significant slope coefficient in Mean Equation, it was held that asymmetry held only for two crops viz. wheat and sugarcane and not for soyabean. Further coefficient of asymmetry for two crops was positive indicating that positive shock (fall in crude prices) impacted the crop volatility more than an equivalent negative shock (rise in crude prices). The results for spillover of volatility from crude to energy crops using AR(2)-EGARCH(1,1) Model showed that spillover from crude to both; sugarcane and wheat was statistically significant but coefficient in both crops had negative sign. Degree of volatility persistence was statistically significant for these two crops but its value was low implying that a shock to crude had a slow decaying impact on both these crops.
