What the paper says

Increased demand for corn-based ethanol puts upward pressure on prices of corn and other commodities, such as soybeans, and possibly worsens their price volatility. The paper investigates the changes in agricultural commodities' standard deviation and beta sizes due to ethanol production in the US. Standard deviations and beta estimations are compared for the ethanol pre-expansion and expansion periods. The results indicate a high level of price volatility in the second period, which could be attributed to ethanol expansion.
