According to their findings, the integration of solar power into a country's energy grid can have ripple effects on sectors beyond the energy industry, leading to a potential "solar spillover" in unexpected domains. This revelation not only brightens the field of renewable energy economics but also casts a solar glow on the uncharted waters of retail commerce.

In "Energy Economics for Dummies," the authors delve into the complex relationships between energy markets and other economic variables, shedding light on the interconnectedness of seemingly disparate domains. While the book may be labeled for "dummies," the insights within are far from dim-witted, illuminating the pathways through which solar power generation could influence the broader economy, including the ebbs and flows of retail stocks.

Furthermore, Jones (2020) provides insight into the psychological underpinnings of consumer behavior in "Sunshine and Shopping: The Psychology of Renewable Retail Therapy." This piece offers compelling evidence that the mere presence of solar-generated energy can elicit positive emotions and influence consumer spending patterns. Perhaps shoppers truly can "soak up" the sun's benefits while perusing retail outlets, leading to an unexpected uptick in demand for activewear and athleisure products.

Turning to a more fictional lens, "Solar Power and Stock Surprises: A Tale of Two Worlds" by J.K. Rowling weaves a whimsical yet thought-provoking narrative of how newfound solar energy reserves beneath the deserts of the UAE interact with the whims of the stock market. As the protagonist uncovers the secrets of solar-powered spells and stock price incantations, readers are drawn into a world where renewable energy and retail intricately dance to the beats of mystical forces.

On a lighter note, cartoons and children's shows offer unexpected insights into the relationship between solar power and Lululemon's stock price. The "Sunny and Stocked" episode of "Arthur" depicts the characters stumbling upon a solar panel installation in their neighborhood, leading to a series of comical yet enlightening events. While the show may be intended for a younger audience, the underlying messages about the influence of renewable energy on retail trends are not lost on the unassuming viewer.

In "SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom Bazaar," the titular character embarks on a quest to harness solar energy for the underwater town's thriving marketplace, inadvertently causing a surge in demand for athletic apparel. As the storyline unfolds, viewers are left contemplating the unexpected parallels between Bikini Bottom's economic ebbs and flows and those of the real-world retail industry under the solar spotlight.

As the research journey unfolds, it becomes clear that the connections between solar power generation in the United Arab Emirates and Lululemon's stock price are far from conventional. The scholarly pursuit of unraveling this intricate web of relationships leads to unexpected encounters with non-fictional literature, fictional narratives, and even whimsical children's shows. Just as the sun's rays playfully dance across the Earth, so too do the threads of solar energy and retail commerce intertwine in a dance that is as enlightening as it is whimsical.

And as we continue to illuminate the uncharted territories of solar power's influence on retail markets, we cannot help but feel a warm glow of anticipation for the comedic and captivating surprises that lie ahead – much like a solar-powered punchline waiting to be delivered.

"Lighting Up the Market: The Sunny Side of Lululemon's Stock Price and Solar Power Generation in United Arab Emirates"

[[ABSTRACT]]
The age-old question of how solar power generation in the United Arab Emirates affects the stock prices of Lululemon Athletica Inc. (LULU) has been a thing of mystery. In this study, we shed light on the curious correlation between these seemingly unrelated entities, unveiling the illuminating relationship between renewable energy and retail commerce. Combining data from the Energy Information Administration and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), we employed rigorous statistical analysis to unveil the ties that bind the radiant science of solar power to the enigmatic movements of LULU stock prices.

Our findings reveal a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9500859 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the period spanning 2009 to 2021. This implies a direct co-movement between the solar power generated in the UAE and the flattery or faltering of LULU's stock. The unexpected fusion of sustainability and apparel seems to have a dazzling effect on the market.

Just as the sun shines upon the Earth, our research shines a spotlight on the unlikely connection between solar power output and the retail industry, demonstrating that the relationship between these variables is not merely a "bright" idea but a statistically robust phenomenon. Further exploration of the underlying mechanisms and causal pathways of this intertwined relationship is warranted, as the synergy between renewable energy and retail appears to be as clear as day – or should we say, as clear as solar-generated light?

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
Unveiling the perplexing relationship between solar power generation in the United Arab Emirates and Lululemon's stock price has been a task of both curiosity and fascination. Smith and Doe (2018) set the stage for this curious exploration, delving into the economic impacts of renewable energy sources on various industries. According to their findings, the integration of solar power into a country's energy grid can have ripple effects on sectors beyond the energy industry, leading to a potential "solar spillover" in unexpected domains. This revelation not only brightens the field of renewable energy economics but also casts a solar glow on the uncharted waters of retail commerce.
In "Energy Economics for Dummies," the authors delve into the complex relationships between energy markets and other economic variables, shedding light on the interconnectedness of seemingly disparate domains. While the book may be labeled for "dummies," the insights within are far from dim-witted, illuminating the pathways through which solar power generation could influence the broader economy, including the ebbs and flows of retail stocks.
Furthermore, Jones (2020) provides insight into the psychological underpinnings of consumer behavior in "Sunshine and Shopping: The Psychology of Renewable Retail Therapy." This piece offers compelling evidence that the mere presence of solar-generated energy can elicit positive emotions and influence consumer spending patterns. Perhaps shoppers truly can "soak up" the sun's benefits while perusing retail outlets, leading to an unexpected uptick in demand for activewear and athleisure products.
Turning to a more fictional lens, "Solar Power and Stock Surprises: A Tale of Two Worlds" by J.K. Rowling weaves a whimsical yet thought-provoking narrative of how newfound solar energy reserves beneath the deserts of the UAE interact with the whims of the stock market. As the protagonist uncovers the secrets of solar-powered spells and stock price incantations, readers are drawn into a world where renewable energy and retail intricately dance to the beats of mystical forces.
On a lighter note, cartoons and children's shows offer unexpected insights into the relationship between solar power and Lululemon's stock price. The "Sunny and Stocked" episode of "Arthur" depicts the characters stumbling upon a solar panel installation in their neighborhood, leading to a series of comical yet enlightening events. While the show may be intended for a younger audience, the underlying messages about the influence of renewable energy on retail trends are not lost on the unassuming viewer.
In "SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom Bazaar," the titular character embarks on a quest to harness solar energy for the underwater town's thriving marketplace, inadvertently causing a surge in demand for athletic apparel. As the storyline unfolds, viewers are left contemplating the unexpected parallels between Bikini Bottom's economic ebbs and flows and those of the real-world retail industry under the solar spotlight.
As the research journey unfolds, it becomes clear that the connections between solar power generation in the United Arab Emirates and Lululemon's stock price are far from conventional. The scholarly pursuit of unraveling this intricate web of relationships leads to unexpected encounters with non-fictional literature, fictional narratives, and even whimsical children's shows. Just as the sun's rays playfully dance across the Earth, so too do the threads of solar energy and retail commerce intertwine in a dance that is as enlightening as it is whimsical.
And as we continue to illuminate the uncharted territories of solar power's influence on retail markets, we cannot help but feel a warm glow of anticipation for the comedic and captivating surprises that lie ahead – much like a solar-powered punchline waiting to be delivered.

Correlation r = 0.9500859 (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 = 0.9026632 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 90.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Lululemon's stock price (LULU)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Solar power generated in United Arab Emirates) over the 13 years from 2009 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 6.7E-7. 0.0000006692766792464660000000
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 6.7E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,494,150 random variables You don't actually need 1 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 12 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 12 because we have two variables measured over a period of 13 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.

[ 0.84, 0.99 ] 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.

Reuseable content

You may re-use the images on this page for any purpose, even commercial purposes, without asking for permission. The only requirement is that you attribute Tyler Vigen. Attribution can take many different forms. If you leave the "tylervigen.com" link in the image, that satisfies it just fine. If you remove it and move it to a footnote, that's fine too. You can also just write "Charts courtesy of Tyler Vigen" at the bottom of an article.

You do not need to attribute "the spurious correlations website," and you don't even need to link here if you don't want to. I don't gain anything from pageviews. There are no ads on this site, there is nothing for sale, and I am not for hire.

For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."

When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.
