[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "Smith et al.'s Analysis of Online Media Influence on Stock Prices," the authors find that online media presence can have a significant impact on the stock prices of companies. Similarly, Doe's "The Power of Social Media on Financial Markets" highlights the potential influence of social media on stock valuations. These studies emphasize the growing significance of digital platforms in shaping investor sentiment and market dynamics.

Now, let's take a moment to appreciate the gravity of the situation. After all, if Boeing's stock is soaring due to YouTube views, it might just be reaching for the stars! Speaking of reaching for the stars, did you hear about the pilot who always wanted to be an astronaut? He had a "plane" ambition!

In "Jones et al.'s Econometric Analysis of Consumer Behavior and Stock Performance," the authors delve into the intricate relationship between consumer behavior and stock performance. The study underscores the importance of understanding consumer preferences and their impact on investment decisions. In a similar vein, "Economics of Attention" by Goldhaber sheds light on the economics of attention in the digital age, shedding light on the potential influence of online content on economic phenomena.

Of course, when it comes to attention, LEMMiNO's videos certainly capture the audience's interest. It seems Boeing's stock is not just "plane" sailing; it's riding the waves of online attention! It's almost as if Boeing's stock is looking for some LEMMiNOs to guide its flight path. Speaking of guided flight paths, did you hear about the airplane that needed a navigator? It refused to fly without a "plane" guide!

Turning to non-fiction works, "Freakonomics" by Levitt and Dubner offers insights into unexpected correlations and influences in economic phenomena. "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell highlights the power of trends and societal tipping points in influencing behaviors and market trends.

In the context of our research, one can't help but marvel at the tipping point of Boeing's stock influenced by LEMMiNO's videos. It's as if LEMMiNO's videos are the "tailwind" behind Boeing's stock price ascent – pun intended. You might even say that Boeing's stock is experiencing a "plane" phenomenon of soaring to new heights!

As for fictional works, "Up in the Air" by Walter Kirn and "Airframe" by Michael Crichton offer intriguing narratives set in the aviation industry, rife with the tension and thrill of flight. These works, while fictional, provide a captivating backdrop for exploring the intersection of aviation and public interest.

In a way, one could say that our investigation into LEMMiNO's YouTube views and Boeing's stock price is akin to an exhilarating flight through the skies of data and analysis. It's a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, much like a riveting aviation thriller. The only difference is that our thrill comes from unearthing statistical significance, not from navigating a turbulent storm at 30,000 feet!

Finally, in the realm of movies, "Catch Me If You Can" and "The Aviator" offer cinematic portrayals of individuals navigating the complexities of finance and aviation. While not directly related to our specific focus, these films capture the intrigue and dynamism of industries that intersect with our research domain.

It seems that as researchers, we are on a quest to catch the correlation if we can, between LEMMiNO's YouTube success and Boeing's stock performance. Ah, the thrill of the chase, just like a stock market heist! Speaking of heists, did you hear about the thief who tried to steal an airplane? He definitely had a "plane" for a successful getaway!

[[METHODOLOGY]]



ChatGPT:

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To conduct this study, a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods were employed to unravel the relationship between the average views of LEMMiNO YouTube videos and the stock price of Boeing (BA). Data from 2012 to 2023 was gathered from a variety of sources, primarily from YouTube's analytics platform and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv). The data collection process was about as straightforward as a flight path in a snowstorm - plenty of turbulence before finally reaching a smooth, steady climb.

The numerical data on LEMMiNO video views and Boeing's stock price was meticulously extracted, labeled, and processed. Perhaps our process was as meticulous as a Boeing mechanic, ensuring that every nut and bolt was in place. The datasets were then analyzed using both correlation analysis and time-series modeling. The correlation coefficient was calculated with the precision of a Boeing 747 autopilot, revealing a remarkably robust correlation of 0.9034289 between LEMMiNO's video views and Boeing's stock price. Even the most seasoned statistician would have been "plane" surprised by the strength of this connection.

Furthermore, time-series models were employed to analyze the dynamic relationship between these variables over the 11-year period. The models were pored over with the same level of attention to detail as a pilot scrutinizing a pre-flight checklist. The relevant statistical tests, including Granger causality and autocorrelation, were conducted to validate the robustness of the relationship detected. It's safe to say that our statistical models didn't experience any "turbulence" in their findings.

In addition to the quantitative analysis, qualitative insights were gathered from industry experts and market observers. We sought opinions from individuals with a bird's eye view of the aviation and entertainment industries. Their perspectives were an invaluable addition to our study, providing a human touch to an otherwise numbers-driven analysis. We didn't just want to soar through the data; we wanted to gain insight from those who had their feet firmly planted on the ground.

Finally, robustness checks were performed to ensure the stability of the findings. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the impact of outliers and alternative variable specifications. We made sure to put our findings through more scrutiny than a code-red security check at an airport.

In summary, our methodology combined quantitative analysis, qualitative insights, and robustness checks to thoroughly investigate the intriguing relationship between LEMMiNO's YouTube video views and Boeing's stock price. Like a well-conducted symphony, our methodology aimed to harmonize different research approaches for a comprehensive understanding of this unexpected connection.

[[TITLE]]
Flying High: A Plane Sight into the Connection between LEMMiNO YouTube Video Views and Boeing's Stock Price

[[ABSTRACT]]
This paper endeavors to scrutinize the intriguing relationship between the average views of LEMMiNO YouTube videos and the stock price of Boeing (BA) from 2012 to 2023. Through the meticulous analysis of data from YouTube and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), a remarkably robust correlation coefficient of 0.9034289 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 emerged, suggesting a compelling connection between these disparate entities. Perhaps Boeing's stock is truly taking flight on the wings of LEMMiNO's video views, which leaves us wondering if their next stockholders' meeting will include a screening of their favorite YouTube channels.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
Aviation and entertainment are seemingly unrelated realms, but could there be an unexpected link between the average views of LEMMiNO YouTube videos and the stock price of Boeing (BA)? To our surprise, an investigation into this potential correlation has taken flight, aiming to uncover whether Boeing's financial trajectory has indeed been influenced by the soaring success of LEMMiNO's content.
In the spirit of good aircraft puns, we hope to navigate through the turbulence of data and land on firm ground with meaningful insights. After all, combining YouTube views and stock prices might just give us the ultimate "econ-aviation" perspective – apologies for that, but a good dad joke always manages to "elevate" the discourse.

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of data from 2012 to 2023 revealed a strong positive correlation between the average views of LEMMiNO YouTube videos and the stock price of Boeing (BA), with a correlation coefficient of 0.9034289. This finding suggests a striking connection between these two seemingly disparate entities. One might say that LEMMiNO's content has truly "taken off" in more ways than one, exerting a discernible influence on Boeing's stock performance.
The r-squared value of 0.8161838 further indicates that approximately 81.6% of the variability in Boeing's stock price can be explained by the average views of LEMMiNO's YouTube videos. It appears that LEMMiNO's content has not only captured the attention of viewers, but it has also managed to influence the fluctuations in Boeing's stock price. One could argue that LEMMiNO's videos have become a true "stock" market indicator. I promise, the puns are "plane" fun.
Moreover, the statistical significance of the correlation with a p-value of less than 0.01 underscores the robustness of the relationship between these two variables. It seems that the influence of LEMMiNO's content on Boeing's stock price is no "flight of fancy" but a substantial and noteworthy phenomenon.
Fig. 1 displays the scatterplot highlighting the strong positive correlation between the average views of LEMMiNO YouTube videos and Boeing's stock price. The plot serves as a visual testament to the persuasive relationship observed in the data. It's clear that this connection has truly taken flight, much like an involved dad at a barbecue with a newly purchased grill.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our study has unveiled a compelling and statistically significant correlation between the average views of LEMMiNO YouTube videos and the stock price of Boeing (BA). This unexpected relationship suggests that the influence of LEMMiNO's thought-provoking content extends beyond intriguing storytelling and captivating visuals; it appears to have a tangible impact on the financial performance of one of the world's leading aerospace companies.

One might say that the views of LEMMiNO's videos have truly "elevated" Boeing's stock price, proving that sometimes, the sky is not the limit - sorry, couldn't resist a good pun! This finding raises the question of whether LEMMiNO's next video release will be accompanied by a surge in Boeing's stock value, or if a downward trend in video views might lead to a "turbulent" period for the company.

Our results not only shed light on the unexpected interplay between entertainment and aviation but also emphasize the need to consider unconventional variables when analyzing stock market trends. It seems that LEMMiNO's videos have taken on a new role as an inadvertent economic indicator, proving that the influence of online content creators can extend to unsuspected areas – a phenomenon we might call "YouTubenomics." I know, "plane" silly!

Therefore, based on the compelling evidence presented in this research, it can be reasonably concluded that further investigation into the interrelationship between digital content viewership and stock market dynamics is not necessary. We believe this study has provided a high-flying perspective on the influence of YouTube views on stock prices, leaving little room for doubt about the correlation observed. In the words of every dad ever, we can confidently say, "I'm not 'plane' wrong about this one!"

Correlation r = 0.9034289 (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 = 0.8161838 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 81.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Boeing's stock price (BA)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Average views of LEMMiNO YouTube videos) over the 12 years from 2012 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 5.6E-5. 0.0000561399757217333700000000
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 0.9 in 0.0056% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 17,813 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 11 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 11 because we have two variables measured over a period of 12 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.

[ 0.68, 0.97 ] 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. Confounding variable: 2020 is particularly different from the other years on this graph. Confounding variables (like global pandemics) will cause two variables to look connected when in fact a "sneaky third" variable is influencing both of them behind the scenes.
