Dynamic spillovers among major energy and cereal commodity prices (2014, result): “Our results are, however, not in line with those of Zhang et al. (2010).”
Demand-pull and technology-push public support for eco-innovation: The case of the biofuels sector (2015, background): “4 According to Cheng and Timilsina (2011), current bioethanol and biodiesel production mainly relies on raw materials which are competing with food and feed production for the limited arable land (FAO, 2010; Zhang et al., 2010).”
World oil and agricultural commodity prices: Evidence from nonlinear causality (2011, background): “Although the factors are mutually reinforcing and complex (Zhang et al., 2010), high oil prices are thought to be major factor driving up the agricultural commodity prices (Abbott et al.”
Time-frequency contained co-movement of crude oil and world food prices: A wavelet-based analysis (2017, background): “Such decisions would likely be guided by the profitability associated with the available alternatives (Zhang et al., 2010).”
World oil prices and agricultural commodity prices: Evidence from an emerging market (2011, background): “Zhang et al. (2010) examine the relationship between several fuel prices (ethanol, gasoline, and oil) andprices of agricultural commodities (corn, rice, soybeans, sugar, and wheat).”
Volatility spillover between oil and agricultural commodity markets (2013, background): “For example, Zhang et al. (2010) argued that oil price increases do not have direct impacts on agricultural commodity prices.”
Reconciling food security and bioenergy: priorities for action (2017, background): “Interestingly, organizations wishing to show that biofuels do not raise food prices often cite the same FAO ‘food commodity’ data over similar time spans (e.g., see Zhang et al., 2010; Mueller et al., 2011; and GRFA, 2015).”
Global Oil Prices and Local Food Prices: Evidence from East Africa (2016, neutral): “This is consistent with numerous other recent papers that find no strong causal link between oil prices and maize prices at world markets (Zhang et al. 2007, 2009, 2010, Gilbert 2010, Serra et al. 2011, Enders and Holt 2012, Zilberman et al. 2013).”
