On the joint volatility dynamics in dairy markets [PDF]
The Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics
65(3): 704-728 (2021), 2021 The present study investigates the price (co)volatility of four dairy commodities -- skim milk powder, whole milk powder, butter and cheddar cheese -- in three major dairy markets. It uses a multivariate factor stochastic volatility model for estimating the time-varying covariance and correlation matrices by imposing a low-dimensional latent dynamic ...
