Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The investigation delved into the dynamic interplay between oil price fluctuations and their ramifications on the pricing of agricultural products, employing the Vector Autoregression methodology. The dataset spanned 3 months, commencing from January 2010 and concluding in December 2022. Upon subjecting the data to an in-depth analysis, it was ascertained that it possesses a unit root, indicating an integrated order of one (I [1]), and achieves stationarity subsequent to the first-order differencing. The findings of the inquiry revealed that the paramount driver influencing agricultural product prices is the inherent volatility within the agricultural sector itself. Contrary to initial expectations, the impact of oil price fluctuations on agricultural prices was discerned to be comparatively modest. Intriguingly, the outcomes underscored that the preeminent factor contributing to fluctuations in agricultural product prices is the influence wielded by oil prices. This implies that alterations in oil prices exert a more pronounced effect on the variability in agricultural product prices as opposed to the overall revenue generated from agricultural endeavors.
