[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The intricate relationship between air pollution and financial markets has been a subject of keen interest for researchers over the years. Smith and Doe (2017) conducted a comprehensive analysis of air pollution's impact on various economic indicators, while Jones et al. (2019) delved into the influence of environmental factors on stock price movements. Their findings provided valuable insights into the far-reaching consequences of air pollution on the economic landscape, laying the groundwork for further exploration.
Moving from the solemn realms of academic journals to the wider sea of literature, it's worth noting the diverse array of perspectives on environmental impact and financial dynamics. "The Economics of Clean Air" by Oates and "Environmental Finance" by Scholtens offer a deep dive into the complexities of environmental economics and sustainable finance, providing a solid theoretical foundation for understanding the interplay between air quality and economic activities. On the other end of the spectrum, fictional works such as "Smoke and Mirrors" by Neil Gaiman and "The Polluted Promise" by Agatha Christie offer a more imaginative take on the unseen repercussions of pollution, serving as a delightful departure from the empirical rigor of academic literature.
In the quest for a holistic understanding of the intersecting domains of air pollution and financial markets, a peek into the world of entertainment could yield intriguing parallels. TV shows such as "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul," with their dramatic depictions of chemical enterprises and their unforeseen consequences, provide an oddly captivating lens through which to contemplate the latent repercussions of environmental degradation on corporate entities. The quirky humor of "Parks and Recreation" offers an unexpected yet refreshing perspective on the bureaucratic hurdles and absurdities entwined with environmental policymaking, reminding us that even in the throes of serious matters, there's always room for a chuckle.
As we embrace the eccentric tapestry of sources and influences, it is evident that the intersection of air pollution and financial markets has managed to capture the imagination across a spectrum of disciplines and genres. This vibrant amalgamation of serious scholarship, fiction, and entertainment underscores the pervasive impact of air pollution on diverse facets of human endeavors, while adding a touch of levity to the otherwise weighty discourse.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The intricate relationship between air pollution and financial markets has been a subject of keen interest for researchers over the years. Smith and Doe (2017) conducted a comprehensive analysis of air pollution's impact on various economic indicators, while Jones et al. (2019) delved into the influence of environmental factors on stock price movements. Their findings provided valuable insights into the far-reaching consequences of air pollution on the economic landscape, laying the groundwork for further exploration.
Moving from the solemn realms of academic journals to the wider sea of literature, it's worth noting the diverse array of perspectives on environmental impact and financial dynamics. "The Economics of Clean Air" by Oates and "Environmental Finance" by Scholtens offer a deep dive into the complexities of environmental economics and sustainable finance, providing a solid theoretical foundation for understanding the interplay between air quality and economic activities. On the other end of the spectrum, fictional works such as "Smoke and Mirrors" by Neil Gaiman and "The Polluted Promise" by Agatha Christie offer a more imaginative take on the unseen repercussions of pollution, serving as a delightful departure from the empirical rigor of academic literature.
In the quest for a holistic understanding of the intersecting domains of air pollution and financial markets, a peek into the world of entertainment could yield intriguing parallels. TV shows such as "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul," with their dramatic depictions of chemical enterprises and their unforeseen consequences, provide an oddly captivating lens through which to contemplate the latent repercussions of environmental degradation on corporate entities. The quirky humor of "Parks and Recreation" offers an unexpected yet refreshing perspective on the bureaucratic hurdles and absurdities entwined with environmental policymaking, reminding us that even in the throes of serious matters, there's always room for a chuckle.
As we embrace the eccentric tapestry of sources and influences, it is evident that the intersection of air pollution and financial markets has managed to capture the imagination across a spectrum of disciplines and genres. This vibrant amalgamation of serious scholarship, fiction, and entertainment underscores the pervasive impact of air pollution on diverse facets of human endeavors, while adding a touch of levity to the otherwise weighty discourse.

See what else correlates with POSCO Holdings' stock price (PKX)
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 = 0.6435288 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 64.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., POSCO Holdings' stock price (PKX)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air pollution in Grand Junction, Colorado) over the 22 years from 2002 through 2023.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.11E-6. 0.0000071053841696218470000000
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 0.8 in 0.000711% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 140,738 random variables You don't actually need 140 thousand 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.
[ 0.58, 0.91 ] 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.
