摘要: This paper tests for the existence of bubbles in ethanol–gasoline price ratio Brazil from 2000 to 2012 using right-tailed ADF tests. Results suggest two bubbles: one which has already burst (during re-election President Lula); and been ongoing since 2010, thus corroborating empirical anecdotal evidence Brazilian sugarcane industry. Freezing gasoline prices not only depressed ethanol but also investments new crops distillation plants.
