Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The book is a collection of research papers by people looking at the pricing behaviour of various commodities. The intent is to look at correlations or even causations between a commodity's price and other factors. The result is an eclectic mixture of topics.
One chapter discusses whether fluctuations in wine stockpiles affect wine prices. Apparently, there had been very little prior work on wine pricing, especially in a global context. Inventory fluctuations in the major wine producing countries are given, along with changes in pricing in those nations. Various statistical tests are done to tease out any correlations.
Other chapters delve into subjects like coal in the US and Indonesia, and scrap metal prices in the US.
A strong background in statistics is required to understand the book.
