- Abstract
The futures market price of agricultural products is affected by many factors. We introduce the Baidu search index as a proxy variable for investor attention and examine the link between corn starch futures and the Baidu index. The Granger causality test is used to observe the direction of causality, which shows that the Baidu index causes cornstarch futures. The VAR model indicates that attention has significant positive effects on cornstarch futures return.
