Journal of Futures Markets, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper uses GARCH‐MIDAS to predict US natural gas futures volatility using national and state‐level Climate Concern Indexes (CCIs). We find that both national and state‐level CCIs positively affect price volatility. Notably, models using state‐level data—specifically those utilizing least‐squares (LS) weighting combinations—surpass the ...

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.Abstract This paper uses counterfactual simulations to examine the impact of bilateral trade linkage disruptions on the U.S. agricultural and food trade system. Using an econometric gravity model, we estimate the relationship between disruptions and trade flows, identify critical state‐to‐state trade linkages whose disruption would significantly impact
