Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay 1: Despite its sheer market size and volatile prices, the study of US dairy commodity prices and volatility is limited in recent literature. Compared to other commodities, dairy products show large price swings and unpredictable price volatility, making it more difficult for dairy farmers, dairy manufacturers, and other market participants to manage price risks. This essay investigates dairy commodities futures returns using five different return metrics, and corresponding realized volatilities at weekly and monthly levels. We apply GARCH models to consider the conditional heteroskedasticity in dairy futures returns. Our results show that dairy commodities returns are correlated positively, but only cheese and milk have strong correlations (over 85% coefficient for returns and over 90% for volatility.) We also report strong evidence that volatilities of all dairy commodities are significantly impacted by short-term return surprise (innovation) and past volatility. However, only dry whey exhibits dominant volatility persistence (long memory.) Our GJR GARCH results suggest that "good" news in return impacts butter and cheese volatility greater than "bad" news, while "bad" news impacts milk and dry whey greater than "good" news. Using multivariate GARCH DCC model, we show the return comovement are time-varying and volatility are interdependent among dairy commodities. The GARCH BEKK model indicates asymmetric (bi-directional) volatility spillover effects between dry whey and other commodities, especially between dry whey and cheese. We also demonstrate that dairy commodities return and volatilities, especially milk and cheese, are not closely related to macroeconomics variables possibly because of the unique characteristics of dairy products and heavy government regulation. Essay 2: The classified dairy pricing scheme under the Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) and the cash settlement feature in the dairy commodity futures markets generate unique volatility patterns. This study shows that the USDA's weekly wholesale price announcement, commonly called the National Dairy Products Sales Report (NDPSR), influences futures prices and reduces volatility. Our results demonstrate that the volatility diminishes when a futures contract approaches expiration for all dairy commodities, including class III milk, cheese, butter, and dry whey. We provide further evidence that the dairy futures market responds to the USDA announcement by showing that trading volume and open interest are highest on the announcement days, and volatility peaks, for all dairy commodity futures, in-between the announcement days. Furthermore, we develop an information uncertainty measure to capture the information released by the USDA announcement. Using OLS regression models at the individual commodity level and VAR models considering the interdependences among dairy commodities, we show that the diminishing volatility is significantly correlated with the information uncertainty for all dairy commodities. Trading activities, such as trading volume and open interest, also contribute to the diminishing volatility. The short-term interest rate impacts the volatility of butter, cheese, and milk, while dollar index impacts dry whey volatility. Our VAR results show that volatilities of butter and dry whey are more independent, while volatility of cheese shows a moderate impact from butter volatility. Our results are robust to different models and seasonality effects.

Book excerpt: The financial success of dairy farms depends critically on the price of their main output, milk. Large volatility in the price of milk poses a considerable business risk to dairy farms. This is particularly true for family-run dairy farms. The question then arises: how can a farm owner hedge the milk price risk? The standard approach to establish a price floor for a commodity such as milk is to purchase put options on commodity futures. At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, farmers can buy put options on the price of a variety of milk products. However, the price a farm receives for its milk depends on many factors and is unique to the farm. Thus, a farmer cannot directly buy put options on the price he receives for the milk his farm produces. Instead the farmer needs to determine which of the options available for trade at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange offer the best hedge for his own milk price. The assignment in this case is to examine historical data on several prices of milk products and the milk price received by a family-run dairy farm in California. Students need to find the price that is most closely correlated to the farm's milk price and to then choose options with the appropriate strike price that serve as the best hedge for the farm's price risk. The objective is to expose students to an interesting but simple finance application of linear regression analysis. To solve the case, students must run several simple linear regressions, then use the best regression model they find to make a prediction for the dependent price variable and analyze the prediction interval in order to achieve the desired objective outlined in the case. By completing the case, students will acquire a good understanding of their regression model and its usefulness.
