A comprehensive study of cotton price fluctuations using multiple Econometric and LSTM neural network models

Abstract

This paper proposes a new coherent model for a comprehensive study of the cotton price using econometrics and Long-Short term memory neural network (LSTM) methodologies. We call a simple cotton price trend and then assumed conjectures in structural method (ARMA), Markov switching dynamic regression, simultaneous equation system, GARCH families procedures, and Artificial Neural Networks that determine the characteristics of cotton price trend duration 1990-2020. It is established that in the structural method, the best procedure is AR (2) by Markov switching estimation. Based on the MS-AR procedure, it concludes that tending to regime change from decreasing trend to an increasing one is more significant than a reverse mode. The simultaneous equation system investigates three procedures based on the acreage cotton, value-added, and real cotton price. Finally, prediction with the GARCH families TARCH procedure is the best-fitting model, and in the LSTM neural network, the results show an accurate prediction by the training-testing method.
