Causes of the 2000s Food Price Surge: New Evidence fromStructural VAR
In 2001 began a rise in the prices of food commodities not seen since the 1970s. Some observers attribute the increase in part to food commodity spec- ulation. This hypothesis is examined by disentangling the impact of specu- lation on grain prices from that of fundamental supply and demand force...

1970s. Some observers attribute the increase in part to food commodity spec-
ulation. This hypothesis is examined by disentangling the impact of specu-
lation on grain prices from that of fundamental supply and demand forces.
Even though results point to a generally stabilising in uence of speculation on prices, speculation is shown to have pushed prices further up during crisis years. The analysis is based on a structural vector autoregressive model identified by sign and zero restrictions. The model is estimated for global corn,
wheat and rice markets. |
