Mapping the effects of Spillovers between Energy and Agricultural Futures in context of biofuels: A Bibliometric Approach

Abstract

Using bibliometric analysis techniques, we examine relevant publications from major academic databases to map the intellectual structure and evolution of this research domain. Our findings reveal four key themes: co-integration and volatility spillover between energy and agricultural commodities, the role of biofuel policies in price transmission, speculation and financialization in commodity markets, and uncertainty and risk in energy-agriculture linkages. The bibliometric results indicate growing research interest in this area, especially since the 2008 financial crisis, but also highlight gaps in the literature. Specifically, we identify needs for further investigation into asymmetric spillover effects, the impact of speculation, and modeling approaches that integrate economic theory with econometric time series analysis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of existing knowledge on energy-agriculture market interactions and suggests promising directions for future research to inform policy and practice in this critical domain.
