Synopsis

This book reviews the problems caused by commodity price instability and develops a mathematical model for commodity markets. The implications of this model for intervention and the welfare effects are then considered. A fully developed model of the world copper market is used to investigate alternative buffer stock intervention rules in order to assess the scope and limitations of such stabilization strategies.
