RT Report T1 Modelling the Effects of Oil Prices on Global Fertilizer Prices and Volatility A1 Chen, Ping-Yu A1 Chang, Chia-Lin A1 Chen, Chi-Chung A1 McAleer, Michael AB The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of crude oil price on global fertilizer prices in both the mean and volatility. The endogenous structural breakpointunit root test, ARDL model, and alternative volatility models, including GARCH, EGARCH, and GJR models, are used to investigate the relationship between crude oil price and six global fertilizer prices. The empirical results from ARDL show that most fertilizer prices are significantly affected by the crude oil price while the volatility ofglobal fertilizer prices and crude oil price from March to December 2008 are higher than in other periods.
