"Amaizeing Connections: Analyzing the GMO Effect on Corn and Its Impact on Enbridge's Stock Price"
[[ABSTRACT]]
The intersection of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in corn production and stock market fluctuations has long been a topic of intrigue and speculation. In this study, we delve into the correlation between the use of GMO in corn grown in Michigan and Enbridge's stock price (ENB). Leveraging data from the USDA and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), we set out to uncover whether a relationship exists between these seemingly disparate entities.
Our findings revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9202181 and p < 0.01 for the period spanning from 2002 to 2023. The results not only highlight a statistically significant association between GMO use in corn and Enbridge's stock price but also provide a platform for "corny" yet compelling discussions about the interconnectedness of agribusiness and financial markets.
It seems the GMO corn's impact on Enbridge's stock was "stalkingly" influential! Our study sheds light on the potential linkages between agricultural practices and stock performance, offering a kernel of insight that resonates with investors and analysts alike. With corny humor aside, our research underscores the importance of considering unconventional factors when analyzing market dynamics.
In conclusion, this study brings a-maize-ing revelations to the forefront, inviting further investigation into the intricate relationships between GMO, agricultural production, and stock market behavior.
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The connection between agricultural practices and stock market performance has been the subject of persistent inquiry and analysis. In "Agricultural Economic Research Journal," Smith and Doe investigate the impact of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in corn cultivation on various economic indicators, including stock prices. Their study uncovers a strong positive correlation between GMO use in corn and stock performance, suggesting that the influence of agricultural practices extends far beyond the fields.
In "Journal of Financial Economics," Jones presents a comprehensive analysis of the factors that influence stock prices, delving into both traditional and unconventional variables. Surprisingly, their findings highlight a noteworthy relationship between agricultural production and stock market behavior, indicating that factors such as GMO usage in corn may wield a significant influence on stock prices, much like the way a-maize-ing weather conditions can yield a bumper crop.
Drawing from the realm of non-fiction literature, "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan and "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond offer insightful perspectives on the intricate interplay between agricultural practices and societal developments. These works underscore the profound impact of agricultural choices on economic, social, and environmental systems, planting the seeds for thought-provoking discussions about the far-reaching implications of GMO use in corn cultivation.
Turning our attention to fictional works, "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck and "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman provide allegorical insights into the interconnectedness of nature, human endeavors, and societal structures. While these novels may not directly address GMO corn and stock prices, they serve as poignant reminders of the woven tapestry of human experience, where unexpected connections often lurk beneath the surface, like kernels hidden within an ear of corn.
In the realm of board games, "Agricola" and "Catan" offer playful yet thought-provoking simulations of agricultural and economic dynamics. These games, while not directly related to GMO use in corn and stock prices, evoke the complexities of resource management and strategic decision-making, reminding us that market influences can stem from the most unexpected of sources, much like stumbling upon a corny pun in a scholarly paper.
As we navigate through the literature, it becomes evident that the seemingly serendipitous intersection of GMO corn and stock prices holds the potential for a-maize-ing revelations and whimsical insights. The evidence gathered from a wide array of sources suggests that the impact of agricultural practices on stock prices transcends conventional wisdom and invites us to embrace the "a-maize-ing" possibilities hidden within these connections. It's as if the stock market and the cornfield share a cobbled path, leading to a treasure trove of unexpected correlations just waiting to be unearthed - much like the kernels nestled within an ear of corn.
[[RESULTS]]
Our investigation into the relationship between GMO use in corn grown in Michigan and Enbridge's stock price (ENB) produced some truly "a-maize-ing" results. From 2002 to 2023, our analysis revealed a remarkably strong correlation coefficient of 0.9202181, indicating a robust link between these seemingly unrelated variables. This correlation coefficient is so strong, it's like finding the perfect ear of corn in a field.
Furthermore, the r-squared value of 0.8468013 indicated that approximately 84.68% of the variation in Enbridge's stock price can be explained by the variation in GMO use in corn grown in Michigan during the same time period. It's as if the genetic makeup of the corn directly influences the stock market, making it an ear-resistible force in shaping market dynamics.
The p-value of less than 0.01 suggests that the relationship we observed is highly statistically significant. It's safe to say that the impact of GMO corn on Enbridge's stock price is not just a kernel of truth; it's a bushel of truth with strong statistical backing. It's clear that the cornfield is full of surprises.
Additionally, our findings are vividly encapsulated in the scatterplot (Fig. 1), where the strong linear relationship between GMO use in corn and Enbridge's stock price is evident. This figure provides a pictorial representation of the connection we uncovered and serves as a visual testament to the robustness of our results.
Finally, as expected, the influence of GMO corn on Enbridge's stock price has blown the husk off conventional theories, leaving us with an undeniable link that's as "ear-resistible" as it is unexpected. This study not only serves as a-maize-ing evidence of the interconnectedness of agribusiness and financial markets but also offers a hearty harvest of insights for stakeholders and researchers alike.
In short, our results highlight the profound impact of GMO use in corn grown in Michigan on Enbridge's stock price, demonstrating that when it comes to market behavior, even the humble cornfield can yield stock-altering effects. It's a-maize-ing what happens when you plant the seeds of curiosity and stock market data – the results truly pop!

See what else correlates with Enbridge's stock price (ENB)
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 = 0.8468013 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 84.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Enbridge's stock price (ENB)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., GMO use in corn grown in Michigan) over the 22 years from 2002 through 2023.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.4E-9. 0.0000000013525465668196982000
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 0.92 in 1.4E-7% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 739,346,078 random variables You don't actually need 739 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.
[ 0.81, 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
- 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.
- 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. - 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.
