Short and long-term volatility transmission from oil to agricultural commodities e The robust quantile regression approach
Abstract This paper investigates permanent and transitory spillover effects from Brent oil futures to four agricultural futures e corn, wheat, soybean and canola. We construct permanent and transitory volatilities via component GARCH model, considering six different distribution functions. Created volatility time-series are embedded in the robust quantile regression framework. Transitory effect from oil market has slightly stronger influence on the agricultural commodities than its permanent counterpart, which is a sign that short-term information flow has more intense effect than fundamental factors. The results indicate that the best diversification instrument in combination with oil is soybean futures, since it is the least subject to oil volatility shocks.
