A rigorous but practical introduction to the economic, financial,
and political principles underlying commodity markets. Commodities
have become one of the fastest growing asset classes of the last
decade and the object of increasing attention from investors,
scholars, and policy makers. Yet existing treatments of the topic
are either too theoretical, ignoring practical realities, or
largely narrative and nonrigorous. This book bridges the gap,
striking a balance between theory and practice. It offers a solid
foundation in the economic, financial, and political principles
underlying commodities markets. The book, which grows out of
courses taught by the author at Columbia and Johns Hopkins, can be
used by graduate students in economics, finance, and public policy,
or as a conceptual reference for practitioners. After an
introduction to basic concepts and a review of the various types of
commodities-energy, metals, agricultural products-the book delves
into the economic and financial dynamics of commodity markets, with
a particular focus on energy. The text covers fundamental demand
and supply for resources, the mechanics behind commodity financial
markets, and how they motivate investment decisions around both
physical and financial portfolio exposure to commodities, and the
evolving political and regulatory landscape for commodity markets.
Additional special topics include geopolitics, financial
regulation, and electricity markets. The book is divided into
thematic modules that progress in complexity. Text boxes offer
additional, related material, and numerous charts and graphs
provide further insight into important concepts.
