After all, there's no use in crying over spilled milk when you've got a dozen eggs in the fridge! Our research aims to crack the shell of mystery surrounding this peculiar relationship and separate the eggstraordinary from the sunny-side-up claims.

In the world of finance, one expects to find correlations between supply and demand, market performance, and economic indicators. But who would have thought that the humble egg, a symbol of both delicious breakfasts and delicate balance, could be tied to the movements of a major financial institution's stock? It's no yolk - the connection between eggs and stock prices is egg-ceptionally egg-squisite!

Stay tuned for the egg-straordinary journey ahead as we embark on a voyage of discovery into the fascinating world of eggonomics and stock market dynamics.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The connection between annual US household spending on eggs and the stock price of The Goldman Sachs Group (GS) has elicited considerable interest among researchers. In "Smith et al.," the authors find a direct relationship between eggspenditures and stock price volatility, suggesting that egg-themed economic indicators may have a more meaningful impact on financial markets than previously assumed.

Uniting the realms of finance and eggonomics, "Doe and Jones" note that eggspenses are not mere breakfast costs but rather influencers of investment behavior. The authors elaborate on the eggstraordinary implications of this connection, emphasizing the eggceptional significance of understanding eggspenditure patterns in relation to financial decision-making.

Moving beyond traditional scholarly works, the findings of "Eggbert and Yolkman" shed light on the eggstensive influence of egg-related consumer behavior on market sentiment and stock performance. Their study conveys the eggcitement of uncovering untapped dimensions of economic analysis, demonstrating the eggspansive potential for unconventional indicators in evaluating investment strategies.

Shifting gears to the realm of literature and popular culture, books such as "Eggonomics 101: A Yolk of Financial Wisdom" and "The Nest Egg Principle: How Eggheads Are Ruling the Stock Market" offer intriguing perspectives on the intersection of eggonomics and financial markets. These eggstravagant titles serve as a reminder that even in the world of high finance, the humble egg can crack open new insights and provoke eggciting discourse.

Turning to fiction, the novel "Eggstravagance and Stock Schemes" presents a whimsical tale of a secret society of egg enthusiasts who clandestinely influence stock prices through their egg-based rituals. While purely fictional, this work contributes to the humorous portrayal of the egg-centric fascination that occasionally permeates the world of investment and market speculation.

Furthermore, social media platforms have played a role in disseminating lighthearted yet insightful observations on the eggspenditure-stock price relationship. In a tweet by @EggcellentInvestor, the user humorously remarked, "Investing in eggs and GS stocks – talk about a balanced breakfast! #EggstraordinaryReturns #SunnySideUpInvesting." Such online conversations reflect the widespread intrigue surrounding this curious association and the diverse interpretations it engenders.

In summary, the literature examining the connections between annual US household spending on eggs and the stock price of The Goldman Sachs Group encompasses a range of scholarly, literary, and social media sources. These diverse perspectives contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the eggspansive influence of egg-related indicators on financial markets, adding an eggstra layer of depth to the nuanced interplay between eggonomics and investment dynamics. Indeed, this field of study proves to be a delightful and eggciting pursuit, offering a veritable treasure trove of eggspertise and eggceptional pun opportunities.

To unravel the eggstraordinary connection between annual US household spending on eggs and The Goldman Sachs Group's stock price (GS), this study employed a multifaceted approach that was as thorough as separating a yolky egg white from its shell. The first step of our research involved collecting data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), which was as meticulous as sifting through a carton of eggs for the perfect dozen.

The data from 2002 to 2022 was then meticulously scrubbed and processed, akin to the careful cracking of an egg to avoid any shell fragments. We calculated the annual US household spending on eggs and the stock price of The Goldman Sachs Group (GS) using ovo-lutionary statistical methods that were as precise as a chef measuring ingredients for a soufflé.

To assess the relationship between annual US household spending on eggs and The Goldman Sachs Group's stock price, we used a variety of analytical techniques, including regression analysis, correlation analysis, and econometric modeling. These methods were applied with the finesse of a master chef crafting a delicate soufflé, ensuring that our findings were as rich and satisfying as a perfectly cooked omelet.

Our analysis accounted for potential confounding variables, much like a chef carefully considers the balance of flavors in a complex dish. We also conducted robustness checks and sensitivity analyses to ensure that our findings were as reliable as a tried-and-true family recipe for fluffy scrambled eggs.

The resulting data was then scrambled, mixed, and folded in a statistical batter, producing a comprehensive analysis that was as satisfying as a well-prepared breakfast. Our methodology, much like a recipe for a perfect soufflé, was designed to ensure that our findings were as palatable and digestible as a perfectly cooked egg dish.

The statistical significance of our findings was then tested using a series of robustness checks and various statistical tests, ensuring that our conclusions were as solid as a hard-boiled egg. In the end, our methodology cracked open the shell of mystery surrounding the connection between annual US household spending on eggs and The Goldman Sachs Group's stock price, providing a sunny-side up glimpse into this clucking good relationship.

[[DISCUSSION]]

The results of this study provide eggstremely compelling evidence supporting the previously hypothesized relationships between annual US household spending on eggs and the stock price of The Goldman Sachs Group (GS). The robust correlation coefficient of 0.8471076 not only confirms but eggspands upon the findings of prior research, serving as a scrambled yet cohesive piece of the larger eggonomic puzzle. These results lend tangible support to the notion that eggspenditures and GS stock price move in tandem, cracking open a whole new realm of eggspertise in financial analysis.

The previous work of "Smith et al." highlighted the impact of eggspenditures on stock price volatility, laying the initial groundwork for understanding this eggstraordinary connection. Our findings echo this sentiment, demonstrating a similarly direct relationship between annual household spending on eggs and GS stock price dynamics. It seems that this relationship is as undeniable as the necessity of a good egg pun in eggstraordinary research – an integral part of the process.

Eggspanding upon the eggceptional work of "Doe and Jones," our study further underlines the eggstraordinary significance of egg-related indicators in financial decision-making. Just as they suggested, our results reveal the eggceptional influence of eggconomy on investment behavior, reinforcing the idea that eggspenditure patterns play a key role in market dynamics. It's clear that the intersection of eggspenses and financial markets is no yolk – it's a shell-shocking revelation in the world of investment analysis.

In line with the findings of "Eggbert and Yolkman," our study reaffirms the eggstensive influence of egg-related consumer behavior on market sentiment and stock performance. The robust r-squared value indicates that over 71% of the variability in GS stock price can be explained by annual household spending on eggs. This eggstraordinary explanatory power underscores the deep-rooted influence of eggspenditures on the stock market, making it an eggciting avenue for further exploration.

The statistically significant p-value further solidifies the eggceptional nature of this relationship, reaffirming the eggstensive impact of eggconomy on the stock market dynamics of The Goldman Sachs Group. Much like the rare discovery of a golden egg in a hen house, the strength and significance of this correlation are as remarkable as they are unexpected.

Thus, the findings of our study not only support but also enrich the existing literature on the intersection of eggspenditures and stock market dynamics. This eggceptional correlation serves as a firm foundation for eggspanding research efforts in the eggciting realm of eggonomics and investment analysis, presenting eggstraordinary opportunities for further studies to hatch. In essence, this research lays bare the eggceptional influence of eggconomy on investment, offering a sunny-side up perspective on the interconnectedness of egg-related indicators and financial markets. It's clear that this discovery is no yolk – it's an eggstraordinary breakthrough in the world of financial analysis and investment.

Correlation r = 0.8471076 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r2 = 0.7175912 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 71.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The Goldman Sachs Group's stock price (GS)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Annual US household spending on eggs) over the 21 years from 2002 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.3E-6. 0.0000012718469590112177000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.85 in 0.00013% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 786,258 random variables You don't actually need 786 thousand variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 20 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 20 because we have two variables measured over a period of 21 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.65, 0.94 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!


All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
  2. Lack of causal connection: There is probably Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
    no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
  3. Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
    p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
