[[INTRODUCTION]]

The intersection of environmental factors and financial markets has long been a topic of fascination and speculation. While some might argue that attempting to draw connections between air quality and stock prices is like comparing apples and oranges, our study delves into this intriguing relationship with a keen eye for statistical significance and a knack for puns. In this paper, we explore the potential link between air quality in Orlando and the fluctuations of Fomento Econ's stock price (FMX) with a steadfast determination to untangle the web of variables at play.

As researchers, we are well aware of the countless variables that can influence stock prices, from economic indicators to industry-specific news and even the occasional offhand comment by an influential figure. However, the idea that the very air we breathe could also play a role in shaping financial markets might seem, well, a bit up in the air. Nevertheless, armed with an arsenal of statistical tools and a penchant for wordplay, we embarked on this inquiry with an open mind and a healthy dose of skepticism.

The notion of associating air quality with stock prices may, to some, sound like little more than a flight of fancy. After all, one might argue that the market's movements are often as unpredictable as the wind. However, the allure of uncovering a potential relationship between these seemingly disparate variables proved too tantalizing to resist. With a wink to the skeptics and a nod to the curious, we set out to explore whether the foul fumes wafting through the streets of Orlando might have an unexpected impact on the financial performance of FMX.

In the following sections, we will discuss the methodology employed in this investigation, the data sources leveraged, and the analytical approach taken to disentangle the influences of air quality on FMX stock price fluctuations. So sit back, buckle up, and get ready for a journey through the wild blue yonder of statistical analysis and financial tomfoolery.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The intersection of environmental factors and financial markets has stirred the academic pot of speculation, spicing up the often dry dish of stock price analysis with a dash of eco-flavor. While some may view the idea of connecting air quality with stock prices as akin to trying to mix oil and water, the body of literature on this unexpected relationship has surprisingly been growing steadily. In "Air Quality and Financial Markets" (Smith et al., 2015), the authors report a preliminary investigation into the potential impact of air pollution levels on stock market performance. Nevertheless, as the scent of intrigue permeates the academic sphere, it is essential to approach this research area with both analytical precision and a sense of humor - because sometimes, the best discoveries emerge from the unlikeliest concoctions.

As we dig deeper into the undercurrents of this topic, it's important to acknowledge the role of environmental regulation in influencing market dynamics. For instance, in "Emissions and Equities" (Doe & Jones, 2018), the authors delve into the intricate dance between emissions standards and stock price movements, illuminating how regulatory changes can send ripples through financial markets. However, from the hazy realm of serious research, let's venture into the whimsical wilderness of fictional works that tantalizingly tiptoe around the fringes of our topic.

Could it be that the financial machinations of corporations are somehow entwined with the very air we breathe? In "The Air Up There: A Tale of Financial Intrigue" (Fictional, 2017), an enigmatic protagonist navigates the murky world of high finance, stumbling upon cryptic clues that lead to the heart of a clandestine eco-conspiracy. While this may read like a work of fiction, the essence of truth often lurks within the pages of the fantastical, as we wade through the murky waters of empirical inquiry.

Remarkably, even social media seems to have caught wind of the potential link between atmospheric conditions and financial markets. A recent tweet by @StockSage2022 brims with intrigue, as the user shares an anecdote of spotting an uptick in Fomento Econ's stock price following a particularly breezy day in Orlando. While social media musings are not typically held in the same regard as scholarly literature, they do serve as a quirky testament to the pervasive interest in this curious connection.

As we unfurl the tapestry of research and rumination surrounding the intertwining of air quality in Orlando and the stock price of Fomento Econ, let us embark on a journey through the whimsical wonders of statistical inquiry and financial frolic.

In "The Air Up There: A Tale of Financial Intrigue" (Fictional, 2017), an enigmatic protagonist navigates the murky world of high finance, stumbling upon cryptic clues that lead to the heart of a clandestine eco-conspiracy. While this may read like a work of fiction, the essence of truth often lurks within the pages of the fantastical, as we wade through the murky waters of empirical inquiry.
Remarkably, even social media seems to have caught wind of the potential link between atmospheric conditions and financial markets. A recent tweet by @StockSage2022 brims with intrigue, as the user shares an anecdote of spotting an uptick in Fomento Econ's stock price following a particularly breezy day in Orlando. While social media musings are not typically held in the same regard as scholarly literature, they do serve as a quirky testament to the pervasive interest in this curious connection.
As we unfurl the tapestry of research and rumination surrounding the intertwining of air quality in Orlando and the stock price of Fomento Econ, let us embark on a journey through the whimsical wonders of statistical inquiry and financial frolic.

[[RESULTS]]
The results of our analysis revealed a positively buoyant correlation coefficient of 0.8850787 between air quality in Orlando and the stock price of Fomento Econ (FMX) over the period of 2002 to 2023. This finding suggests a robust and substantial relationship between the atmospheric conditions in the Sunshine State and the financial performance of FMX. The correlation coefficient, often the golden ticket in statistical analysis, points to a strong positive association, indicating that as air quality improves, FMX stock prices tend to rise like a helium balloon.
Additionally, our examination yielded an r-squared value of 0.7833643, signifying that approximately 78.33% of the variability in FMX stock price movements can be explained by changes in the air quality in Orlando. This result suggests that the air quality plays a major role in influencing the stock price of FMX, exerting a force akin to a gust of wind in the market's sails.
Moreover, the p-value obtained from our analysis was less than 0.01, further substantiating the statistical significance of the relationship between air quality in Orlando and FMX stock price. This finding implies that the likelihood of observing such a strong relationship by mere chance is as rare as finding a four-leaf clover in a field of statistical analyses.
In support of these statistical findings, Fig. 1 presents a scatterplot depicting the pronounced correlation between air quality in Orlando and the fluctuations of FMX stock price. The tight clustering of data points in the scatterplot resembles a mesmerizing constellation, illustrating the close relationship between these seemingly disparate variables.
In conclusion, our analysis uncovers a compelling connection between the quality of the air in Orlando and the financial fortunes of Fomento Econ. These results not only provide valuable insights into the often overlooked influence of environmental factors on stock prices but also offer researchers and investors an air-raising perspective on the complexities of financial markets.

[[DISCUSSION]]

The entanglement of air quality in Orlando and the stock price of Fomento Econ (FMX) has proven to be quite the unexpected pairing, like the surprising compatibility of pineapple on pizza - it may raise eyebrows, but it may just be a promising flavor combination. At first glance, one might assume that these variables are as unrelated as a fish and a bicycle, but our results suggest otherwise.

Our findings are in alignment with previous research that has hinted at the intriguing connection between atmospheric conditions and financial markets. It seems that the marriage of air quality and stock prices may not be as far-fetched as expecting a pogo stick to double as a unicycle. As Smith et al. (2015) and Doe & Jones (2018) have previously observed, the impact of environmental factors on stock market performance has been simmering on the academic stove, slowly reaching a flavorful boil. Even though the aroma of this unlikely pairing may seem more suited to a culinary concoction, our results support the notion that there may be a palpable link between foul fumes and financial fervor.

The substantial correlation coefficient we observed presents a strong positive association, akin to a successful blind date between air quality in Orlando and FMX stock prices. This relationship is as robust as a sturdy bridge spanning the statistical river, and it signifies that as air quality improves, FMX stock prices tend to soar like a flock of migratory birds. The r-squared value, resembling a trusty lighthouse guiding ships through tumultuous statistical seas, indicates that approximately 78.33% of the variations in FMX stock prices can be illuminated by changes in the air quality in Orlando. It seems that the air quality in Orlando exerts a significant influence on the financial tides of FMX, much like a gentle breeze ruffling the market's feathers.

Moreover, the p-value obtained from our analysis is about as rare as bumping into a statistician at a cocktail party, with a value of less than 0.01, underscoring the statistical significance of this relationship. It appears that the chances of stumbling upon such a strong connection by mere chance are as slim as finding a needle in a haystack of statistical analyses.

In summation, our results provide empirical evidence of the weighty impact of air quality in Orlando on the stock price of Fomento Econ. This opens the door to a new avenue of research, inviting scholars and investors to take a breath of fresh air and consider the influence of environmental factors on financial markets with a newfound sense of gravity.

Foul Fumes or Financial Folly: Air Quality in Orlando and the Fluctuations of Fomento Econ's Stock Price

[[ABSTRACT]]
This paper investigates the relationship between air quality in Orlando and the stock price of Fomento Econ (FMX) over the period from 2002 to 2023. Utilizing data from the Environmental Protection Agency and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), we conducted a rigorous analysis to assess the potential impact of air pollution on the financial performance of FMX. Our findings revealed a robust correlation coefficient of 0.8850787 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01, indicating a strong connection between air quality in Orlando and the movements of FMX stock price. While the link between atmospheric conditions and financial markets may seem airy-fairy, our results suggest that there may be some substance to the notion that foul fumes and financial folly are intertwined. This research not only sheds light on the often overlooked factors influencing stock prices but also highlights the importance of considering environmental factors in economic analysis.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The intersection of environmental factors and financial markets has long been a topic of fascination and speculation. While some might argue that attempting to draw connections between air quality and stock prices is like comparing apples and oranges, our study delves into this intriguing relationship with a keen eye for statistical significance and a knack for puns. In this paper, we explore the potential link between air quality in Orlando and the fluctuations of Fomento Econ's stock price (FMX) with a steadfast determination to untangle the web of variables at play.
As researchers, we are well aware of the countless variables that can influence stock prices, from economic indicators to industry-specific news and even the occasional offhand comment by an influential figure. However, the idea that the very air we breathe could also play a role in shaping financial markets might seem, well, a bit up in the air. Nevertheless, armed with an arsenal of statistical tools and a penchant for wordplay, we embarked on this inquiry with an open mind and a healthy dose of skepticism.
The notion of associating air quality with stock prices may, to some, sound like little more than a flight of fancy. After all, one might argue that the market's movements are often as unpredictable as the wind. However, the allure of uncovering a potential relationship between these seemingly disparate variables proved too tantalizing to resist. With a wink to the skeptics and a nod to the curious, we set out to explore whether the foul fumes wafting through the streets of Orlando might have an unexpected impact on the financial performance of FMX.
In the following sections, we will discuss the methodology employed in this investigation, the data sources leveraged, and the analytical approach taken to disentangle the influences of air quality on FMX stock price fluctuations. So sit back, buckle up, and get ready for a journey through the wild blue yonder of statistical analysis and financial tomfoolery.

Correlation r = 0.8850787 (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 = 0.7833643 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 78.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Fomento Econ's stock price (FMX)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air quality in Orlando) over the 22 years from 2002 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 4.5E-8. 0.0000000447719055658967350000
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 0.89 in 4.5E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 22,335,435 random variables You don't actually need 22 million 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 21 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 21 because we have two variables measured over a period of 22 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.

[ 0.74, 0.95 ] 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 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 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.
  4. Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
    Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
