Drivers and triggers of international food price spikes and volatility por Tadesse, Getaw, Algieri, Bernardina, Kalkuhl, Matthias, von Braun, Joachim

“…To this end, it distinguishes between root, conditional, and internal drivers of price changes using three empirical models: (1) a price spike model where monthly food price returns (spikes) are estimated against oil prices, supply and demand shocks, and excessive speculative activity; (2) a volatility model where annualized monthly variability of food prices is estimated against the same set of variables plus a financial crises index; and (3) a trigger model that estimates extreme values of price spikes and volatility using quantile regressions. …”
