| Abstract: | The article investigates the connections between the prices of biofuels and many traded com- modities and other relevant assets in Europe, USA and Brazil. The analysis uses a comprehensive dataset covering price data for 32 relevant traded titles over the period 2003–2015. Main contri- bution of this article is a combination of minimum spanning tree and hierarchical tree approaches with expert economic understanding of biofuels market leading to identification of price connec- tions in a complex trading system. Our analysis of mutual price connections discovers the major defining features of world leading biofuels markest over the last decade. We provide characteris- tics of main bioethanol and biodiesel markets with respect to technical and local features of the production and consumption of particular biofuels. |
