markets are among the most important concerns for economic agents:
producers, consumers, investors, policymarkets,...especially in
agriculture-dominated countries

Complex patterns of price volatility: low short-term elasticity of
supply and demand, environmental risks (principally climatic hazards),
trade policies, monetary policies, biofuel, and “…nancialization” of
agricultural markets and the role of short-term investors on futures
markets

Data
Our sample data consist of daily closing spot prices for eight
agricultural commodities widely traded in the Chicago Board of Trade
(CBOT) and New York Board of Trade (NYBOT)
The sample period runs from 3 October 2003 to 31 August 2010,
yielding 1789 observations. Returns series are computed by using the
di¤erence in the logarithm of the two consecutive prices and
expressed in percentage.

Time-scale behavior of commodity returns
We use the Daubechies least asymmetric wavelet …lter of level 8
(LA8) to decompose each of the nine return series (eight commodities
and world stock market index) into three di¤erent periodicities
ranging from short to long-term periodicity: D1, D2 and D3

  • 39. Introduction Methodology Concept of wavelets: Wavelet transform analysis is a mathematical tool that is used to extract information from di¤erent kind of data and allows to analyze the signals in both the time and frequency domains Better than Fourier transform as the time information of a time series is lost Wavelets has been applied to economics and …nance, e.g., Fernandez (2005) for ICAPM & VaR; Gallegati and Gallegati (2007) for output; Rua and Nunes (2009) for market risk; Aguiar-Conraria and Soares (2011) for oil and macroeconomy. Choice of wavelets: continuous vs. descrete wavelets 1 Continuous wavelet transform - CWT (e.g., Morlet and Gabor): maps the original series, which is a function of just the time variable, into a function of two variabes - time and frequency, but not e¢ cient in multiscale analysis (rather denoising process) 2 Discrete wavelet transform (DWT): enables to compute the transform for a very special discrete choice of the parameter values for time andRiadh Aloui, Mohamed Safouane Ben Aïssa and Duc Khuong Nguyen () 06/12 10 / 16

  • 42. Data Our sample data consist of daily closing spot prices for eight agricultural commodities widely traded in the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) and New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) The sample period runs from 3 October 2003 to 31 August 2010, yielding 1789 observations. Returns series are computed by using the di¤erence in the logarithm of the two consecutive prices and expressed in percentage.
