Review

"...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

Book Description

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.
