Beschreibung
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.
Rezensionen
"Too many textbooks market themselves as being commodity specific but are often nothing more than glorified maths books with a loose connection to the asset class. Thankfully, this book avoids that mistake and offers a very broad but rigorous analysis for investors interested in accessing the different commodity markets."
--Neil C Schofield, Director, Financial Markets Training
"This book represents an important contribution to the literature on commodity markets. One of the innovations in this work is the use of advanced econometric techniques to shed light on linkages between different commodity markets and their dependence on macro-economic variables. Thus, the book complements recent research on the role that commodity inventories play in driving commodity prices. This book will prove valuable reading to students of commodity markets as well as analysts that forecast commodity markets or construct portfolios involving commodities."
--Dr Robert Kosowski, Director of the Risk Management Laboratory & Associate Professor, Imperial College Business School
"The Economics of Commodity Markets written by Julien Chevallier and Florian Ielpo is an exceptionally valuable and up-to-date reference for investment professionals and researchers interested in commodity markets. The book reviews how econometric and economic techniques are applied to descriptive analysis of different commodity markets and study of interactions between, and co-movements across, different asset classes (including commodities and traditional investment vehicles, such as stocks and bonds). Any trader or investment manager will find Part II of the book, covering the impacts of business cycles and macro-economic events on commodity prices, very useful in formulating and testing different portfolio strategies. The book fills a gap in the literature and should be mandatory reading for anybody interested in these dynamic and rapidly evolving markets."
--Vincent Kaminski, Rice University, Houston
