Ladies and gentlemen, grains and germs, and all you stock market stalkers, welcome to the corn-fusing world of GMOs and stocks. As we delve into the mysterious realm where maize and money meet, prepare yourself for a-maize-ing discoveries and an earful of puns. We embark on a journey to unravel the corncob of correlation between genetically modified corn in Michigan and the fluctuations of Fomento Econ's stock price (FMX).

The agri-business landscape has been drenched in debates about the use of GMOs – some hail it as the savior of feeding the world, while others see it as a kernel of trouble. Meanwhile, the stock market is a place where every kernel of information can pop into big profits or shrink into a tassel of losses. Our research aims to bridge the gap between these two domains and uncover the cob-nection between GMO corn and stock market movements.

Leveraging data from the USDA, we dived into the cornfields of Michigan, where GMO technology has sprinkled its seeds. With our magnifying glass firmly in hand, we examined the stock price trends of Fomento Econ, braving the ups and downs of the market like intrepid crop scouts. Our goal? To determine if there's more to this corny tale than meets the eye – a narrative that goes beyond just stalk-and-trade.

Hold on to your silos and sharpen your stock market senses, dear readers, as we present evidence that may just shuck all your preconceived notions about these seemingly unrelated domains. Buckle up as we navigate through the maize of data and the stock market rollercoaster, and get ready to harvest some astonishing insights that might just pop your kernels of wisdom.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "The Genetic Revolution: The Corn Identity," Smith et al. conduct a comprehensive analysis of the impact of GMO use in corn cultivation on agricultural production. The authors find that genetically modified corn has led to increased yields and pest resistance, revolutionizing the agricultural landscape. However, while the scientific community grapples with the implications of GMOs, the stock market is also experiencing its own corn-undrum.

Doe and Jones, in "Corn and Economy: Seeds of Fortune," investigate the broader economic implications of GMO corn production. Their research highlights the potential for GMO technology to boost agricultural productivity and lower production costs. Nevertheless, the financial markets are not immune to the corn-troversy surrounding GMOs, as investors seek to corn-er the market and make sense of the interconnectedness between maize and money.

Moving beyond academic research, non-fiction books such as "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan and "GMO Sapiens: The Life-Changing Science of Designer Babies" by Paul Lasky offer valuable insights into the broader societal and ethical ramifications of genetic modification. Meanwhile, fiction books such as "The Corn Identity" by Robert Ludlum and "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner blur the lines between reality and imagination, offering kernels of inspiration for our exploration of the corn and stock market conundrum.

Drawing inspiration from the dynamics of board games such as "Agricola" and "Stock Ticker," we are reminded that the cultivation of corn and the movement of stock prices share a common thread of strategy, risk, and unforeseen developments. Just as players strategize to maximize their resources and navigate unpredictable market conditions, investors and farmers alike must assess the potential impacts of GMO use in corn cultivation on financial and agricultural landscapes.

The literature surrounding GMOs and stock market movements offers a fertile ground for inquiry, where scholarly research and pop culture narratives intertwine like vines in a cornfield. As we bask in the cornucopia of diverse perspectives, it becomes clear that the corncob of correlation between GMO corn in Michigan and Fomento Econ's stock price is ripe for further exploration, promising to yield both serious insights and plenty of corny puns along the way.

[[METHODOLOGY]]



ChatGPT:

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To undertake this corny investigation, we employed a mix of traditional statistical analysis and modern-day data sorcery. Our research team gathered data on GMO usage in corn cultivation in Michigan and the stock price movements of Fomento Econ (FMX) from the bountiful fields of the USDA and the stock market orchard of LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv). We lovingly caressed the data, treating it with the utmost care and consideration, much like a diligent farmer tending to their prized cornstalks.

First, we conducted a thorough examination of historical GMO adoption rates in corn production, using a complex algorithm that involved counting the virtual corn kernels present in each data set to ensure accuracy. Then, we waded through the stock market seas, employing an innovative method that involved donning virtual waders and using a fishing rod equipped with statistical analysis bait to reel in the trends in Fomento Econ's stock price.

With our bushels of data in hand, we proceeded to analyze the correlation between GMO use in corn cultivation and the stock price of Fomento Econ. A sprinkle of regression analysis here, a dash of time-series econometrics there, and voilà - we obtained the correlation coefficient that revealed an unexpectedly strong link between these seemingly unrelated entities.

Of course, no research endeavor is complete without a touch of magic – or rather, a thorough sensitivity analysis to confirm the robustness of the results. Like seasoned alchemists, we tested our findings against various theoretical assumptions and alternative statistical models, ensuring that our conclusions were as sturdy as a well-constructed corn silo.

In addition to the statistical methodology, we also implemented a qualitative analysis of market sentiment towards GMOs and Fomento Econ, tapping into the ever-flowing stream of financial news articles, social media trends, and the occasional word-of-mouth from the cornfields of Michigan. We carefully sifted through this qualitative data, separating the corn from the chaff, and incorporated it into our broader understanding of the relationship between GMO usage and stock price movements.

Finally, as a sprinkle of seasoning on our research dish, we explored the potential mechanisms behind this correlation, uncovering the intricate interplay between GMO technology, agricultural productivity, and market perceptions. It was a journey that took us farther than we could have imagined, across fields of data and into the heart of market dynamics.

In sum, as we unveil the findings of our research, we invite the reader to join us on this quest, replete with surprises, statistical shenanigans, and a healthy dose of agricultural and financial jargon. Our methodology, though unconventional, has paved the way for a truly a-maize-ing exploration of the CORN-EY connection, illuminating the hitherto hidden relationship between GMO corn and stock market performance.

[[RESULTS]]

The results of our research are as clear as an ear of corn on a sunny day – a strong and significant correlation exists between the usage of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the cultivation of corn in Michigan and the stock price of Fomento Econ. With a correlation coefficient of 0.9462377 and an r-squared value of 0.8953658, the relationship between these two variables can't be dismissed as mere cornspiracy.

The eye-popping correlation coefficient indicates that as the adoption of GMOs in corn cultivation in Michigan increased, there was a corresponding boost in the stock price of Fomento Econ. The relationship between these two seemingly disparate entities is nothing short of a-maize-ing, and investors may need to start paying closer attention to the fields as well as the stock tickers.

The scatterplot in Fig. 1 visually depicts this strong correlation, leaving little room for doubt that there's something more than just corn-dincidence going on here. It's as if the price of Fomento Econ's stock and the growth of GMO corn in Michigan are engaged in a foliar dance, swaying to an unseen rhythm of agricultural and financial influences.

This robust correlation, with a p-value of less than 0.01, suggests that the relationship we've uncovered is not merely the result of chance or statistical noise. Instead, it hints at a potentially substantial impact of GMO use in corn on the stock price of Fomento Econ, a connection that can no longer be trivialized as corny gossip.

Our findings may just be the tip of the corncob in unraveling the complex interplay between agricultural practices and stock market dynamics. While we're not suggesting that one can predict stock prices based solely on the corn crop, the corn-stock correlation invites further exploration and discussion among researchers, investors, and anyone with a keen ear for market trends.

In summary, our study provides compelling evidence of a corntroversial relationship that transcends fields and financial markets. GMOs and stocks may seem to have as much in common as cornbread and calculus, but our research demonstrates that there's more to this corncerted dance than meets the eye. As we glean kernels of wisdom from this corntastic connection, the implications for both agricultural and financial sectors may be as vast as the endless fields of corn stretching across the heartland.

[[DISCUSSION]]

Our results not only confirm, but corn-firm the findings of Smith et al. in "The Genetic Revolution: The Corn Identity," who highlighted the increased agricultural productivity brought about by GMO corn. It seems that the market isn't just cob-bering the agricultural landscape; it's also cob-bering investors' attention. Similarly, the insights of Doe and Jones in "Corn and Economy: Seeds of Fortune" are mirrored in our research, as the potential cost-saving benefits of GMO technology are reflected in the movements of Fomento Econ's stock price, proving that this corn-nection is no mere stalk tale.

While it may sound like we're just popcorn-ulating the discussion with corny jokes, the correlation coefficient of 0.9462377 is no laughing matter. This correlation is as strong and robust as an old corncob, and it demands attention like a cob-ler does to corns. The statistical significance of this relationship is as clear as day: it's no mere corn-spiracy theory or corn-jecture.

Our findings provide empirical evidence to reinforce the notion that the GMO effect on corn production goes beyond yield and pest resistance; it reaches into the stock market like a root seeking water. This relationship may be as corntroversial as whether to eat corn on the cob with one's left or right hand, but the evidence speaks for itself. It's time for investors to take this correlation seriously and not brush it off like kernels off the cob.

In conclusion, our research has popped the lid on a kettle of corncerns and highlighted a connection that's as real as a cornfield in Iowa. This corntastic revelation isn't just corn-sidered a casual observation; it's a kernel of truth that demands further exploration and analysis. We may have just scratched the surface of the corn-stock relationship, but the implications are as bountiful as a harvest in the heartland. So, grab your corncerned hats, folks; it's time to delve into this maize of correlations and stock market movements with the enthusiasm of a child at a corn maze!

The CORN-EY Connection: Exploring the GMO Effect on Fomento Econ's Stock Price

[[ABSTRACT]]
In this groundbreaking research study, we investigated the potential relationship between the usage of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the cultivation of corn in Michigan and the stock price of Fomento Econ in the period from 2002 to 2023. Utilizing data from the USDA and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), our research team conducted a rigorous analysis that uncovered a startling correlation coefficient of 0.9462377, with a p-value of less than 0.01. Our findings suggest a compelling link between GMO use in corn and the movements of Fomento Econ's stock price, leading to corny jokes and kernels of wisdom for investors. This research not only adds another layer to the ever-expanding discussion on GMOs and their impacts but also sheds light on the potential ripple effects in financial markets.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
Ladies and gentlemen, grains and germs, and all you stock market stalkers, welcome to the corn-fusing world of GMOs and stocks. As we delve into the mysterious realm where maize and money meet, prepare yourself for a-maize-ing discoveries and an earful of puns. We embark on a journey to unravel the corncob of correlation between genetically modified corn in Michigan and the fluctuations of Fomento Econ's stock price (FMX).
The agri-business landscape has been drenched in debates about the use of GMOs – some hail it as the savior of feeding the world, while others see it as a kernel of trouble. Meanwhile, the stock market is a place where every kernel of information can pop into big profits or shrink into a tassel of losses. Our research aims to bridge the gap between these two domains and uncover the cob-nection between GMO corn and stock market movements.
Leveraging data from the USDA, we dived into the cornfields of Michigan, where GMO technology has sprinkled its seeds. With our magnifying glass firmly in hand, we examined the stock price trends of Fomento Econ, braving the ups and downs of the market like intrepid crop scouts. Our goal? To determine if there's more to this corny tale than meets the eye – a narrative that goes beyond just stalk-and-trade.
Hold on to your silos and sharpen your stock market senses, dear readers, as we present evidence that may just shuck all your preconceived notions about these seemingly unrelated domains. Buckle up as we navigate through the maize of data and the stock market rollercoaster, and get ready to harvest some astonishing insights that might just pop your kernels of wisdom.

[[RESULTS]]
The results of our research are as clear as an ear of corn on a sunny day – a strong and significant correlation exists between the usage of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the cultivation of corn in Michigan and the stock price of Fomento Econ. With a correlation coefficient of 0.9462377 and an r-squared value of 0.8953658, the relationship between these two variables can't be dismissed as mere cornspiracy.
The eye-popping correlation coefficient indicates that as the adoption of GMOs in corn cultivation in Michigan increased, there was a corresponding boost in the stock price of Fomento Econ. The relationship between these two seemingly disparate entities is nothing short of a-maize-ing, and investors may need to start paying closer attention to the fields as well as the stock tickers.
The scatterplot in Fig. 1 visually depicts this strong correlation, leaving little room for doubt that there's something more than just corn-dincidence going on here. It's as if the price of Fomento Econ's stock and the growth of GMO corn in Michigan are engaged in a foliar dance, swaying to an unseen rhythm of agricultural and financial influences.
This robust correlation, with a p-value of less than 0.01, suggests that the relationship we've uncovered is not merely the result of chance or statistical noise. Instead, it hints at a potentially substantial impact of GMO use in corn on the stock price of Fomento Econ, a connection that can no longer be trivialized as corny gossip.
Our findings may just be the tip of the corncob in unraveling the complex interplay between agricultural practices and stock market dynamics. While we're not suggesting that one can predict stock prices based solely on the corn crop, the corn-stock correlation invites further exploration and discussion among researchers, investors, and anyone with a keen ear for market trends.
In summary, our study provides compelling evidence of a corntroversial relationship that transcends fields and financial markets. GMOs and stocks may seem to have as much in common as cornbread and calculus, but our research demonstrates that there's more to this corncerted dance than meets the eye. As we glean kernels of wisdom from this corntastic connection, the implications for both agricultural and financial sectors may be as vast as the endless fields of corn stretching across the heartland.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our research has husked the mystique surrounding the connection between GMO use in Michigan's cornfields and Fomento Econ's stock price, revealing a striking relationship that's as tangible as the crunch of a cob. It's clear that the stock market is not immune to the corny charm of agricultural influences, and investors may need to take a "stalk" in the maize fields along with the trading floor. The findings of our study lend themselves to an "ear"-resistible urge to ponder the broader implications of this corn-fed correlation.

While our results are enough to make anyone "cornfused" about the fascinating interplay between GMOs and stock prices, we must acknowledge that there's more to be gleaned from this curious correlation than meets the eye – or the ear. As much as we've relished uncovering this kernel of knowledge, it's time to pop the question: is further research really needed in this area? With such a strong correlation and p-values that are lower than a worm in a cornfield, perhaps it's time to "corn-gratulate" ourselves and let this particular kernel of research rest in peace, shelling out a-maize-ing insights for the future.

Correlation r = 0.9462377 (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 = 0.8953658 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 89.5% 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., 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 2.9E-11. 0.0000000000291377740790569240
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 0.95 in 2.9E-9% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 34,319,711,495 random variables You don't actually need 34 billion 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.

[ 0.87, 0.98 ] 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.
