These futures markets have in turn been s~udied in isolation. The same is true for the new developments on financial markets. Over the last few years, in particular sine the 1985 tin crisis and the October 1987 stock exchange crisis, it has become evident that there are inter­ actions between commodity, futures, and financial markets and that these inter­ actions are very important. The more so as trade on futures and financial markets has shown a spectacular increase. This volume brings together a number of recent and unpublished papers on these interactions by leading specialists (and their students). A first set of papers examines how the use of futures markets could help stabilising export earnings of developing countries and how this compares to the rather unsuccessful UNCTAD type interventions via buffer stocks, pegged prices and cartels. A second set of papers faces the fact, largely ignored in the literature, that commodity prices are determined in foreign currencies, with the result that developing countries suffer from the volatility of exchange rates of these currencies (even in cases where commodity prices are relatively stable). Financial markets are thus explicitly linked to futures and commodity markets. 410 0$aAdvanced Studies in Theoretical and Applied Econometrics,$x1570-5811 ;$v21 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aMicroeconomics 606 $aEconomics 615 0$aEconometrics. 615 0$aMicroeconomics. 615 0$aEconomics. 676 $a330.015195 702 $aPhlips$b Louis$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828145703321 996 $aCommodity, futures and financial markets$91142592 997 $aUNINA
