Commodity markets are integral to the global economy. Understanding
what drives developments of these markets is critical to the design
of policy frameworks that facilitate the economic objectives of
sustainable growth, inflation stability, poverty reduction, food
security, and the mitigation of climate change. This study is the
first comprehensive analysis examining market and policy
developments for all commodity groups, including energy, metals,
and agriculture, over the past century. It finds that, while the
quantity of commodities consumed has risen enormously, driven by
population and income growth, the relative importance of
commodities has shifted over time, as technological innovation
created new uses for some materials and facilitated substitution
among commodities. The study also shows that commodity markets are
heterogeneous in terms of their drivers, price behavior, and
macroeconomic impact on emerging markets and developing economies,
and that the relationship between economic growth and commodity
demand varies widely across countries, depending on their stage of
economic development. Policy frameworks that enable countercyclical
macroeconomic responses have become increasingly common-and
beneficial. Other policy tools have had mixed outcomes.
