Storage and Commodity Markets is primarily a work of economic theory, concerned with how the capability to store a surplus affects the prices and production of commodities. Its focus on the behaviour, over time, of aggregate stockpiles provides insights into such questions as how much a country should store out of its current supply of food considering the uncertainty in future harvests. Related topics covered include whether storage or international trade is a more effective buffer and whether stockpiles are more useful in raw or processed form. Several chapters are devoted to analysing such government programmes as price bands, buffer stocks, and strategic reserves. This material is in the domain of applied welfare analysis with public finance. Other chapters deal with the statistical properties imparted by storage, these should be of interest to those building empirical models of commodity markets, including futures markets. Because the theory presented is sufficiently general, it should be of interest to macroeconomists studying aggregate inventories or savings and to those in operations research studying inventory and pricing policies of large firms.
Industry Reviews
"...this book has much to say about commodity markets and the role of storage. In addition, it makes a number of important and well-supported points aboutp public policy. It is well worth reading." Journal of Economic Literature "This book is of major significance in the analysis of commodity markets. It will be required reading for all students of agricultural economics; and will also be widely read by those working on metals markets and the oil market." Economic Journal
