As commodity markets have continued their expansion an extensive
and complex financial industry has developed to service them. This
industry includes hundreds of participating firms, including asset
managers, brokers, consultants, verification agencies and a myriad
of other institutions. Universities and other training institutions
have responded to this rapid expansion of commodity markets as well
as their substantial future growth potential by launching
specialized courses on the subject.
"The Economics of Commodity Markets" attempts to bridge the gap
between academics and working professionals by way of a textbook
that is both theoretically informative and practical. Based in part
on the authors' teaching experience of commodity finance at the
University Paris Dauphine, the book covers all important commodity
markets topics and includes coverage of recent topics such as
financial applications and intuitive economic reasoning.
The book is composed of three parts that cover: commodity market
dynamics, commodities and the business cycle, and commodities and
fundamental value. The key original approach to the subject matter
lies in a shift away from the descriptive to the econometric
analysis of commodity markets. Information on market trends of
commodities is presented in the first part, with a strong emphasis
on the quantitative treatment of that information in the remaining
two parts of the book. Readers are provided with a clear and
succinct exposition of up-to-date financial economic and
econometric methods as these apply to commodity markets. In
addition a number of useful empirical applications are introduced
and discussed.
This book is a self-contained offering, discussing all key
methods and insights without descending into superfluous
technicalities. All explanations are structured in an accessible
manner, permitting any reader with a basic understanding of
mathematics and finance to work their way through all parts of the
book without having to resort to external sources.
