Abstract: This study examines the nature and dynamics of volatility spillovers between crude oil and agricultural commodity markets since the 2008–09 financial crisis. We tested for volatility spillovers with a flexible bivariate heterogeneous autoregressive model to identify the short-, mid-, and long-term spillover effects. We observed bidirectional spillovers of short-term volatilities between crude oil and agricultural commodity markets in the crisis period, compared to mid-term and long-term volatilities of corn being transmitted to the crude oil volatility in the post-crisis period. These findings suggest that crude oil and agricultural commodity markets have become less integrated after the 2008–09 crisis.
