Before policy makers can design schemes to reduce food price uncertainty or ameliorate its effects, they must first understand the factors that have contributed to recent price instability. Does it arise primarily from technological or weather-related supply shocks, or from changes in demand like those induced by the growing use of biofuel? Does financial speculation affect food price volatility? The researchers who contributed to The Economics of Food Price Volatility address these and other questions. They examine the forces driving both recent and historical patterns in food price volatility, as well as the effects of various public policies in affecting this volatility. The chapters include studies of the links between food and energy markets, the impact of biofuel policy on the level and variability of food prices, and the effects of weather-related disruptions in supply. The findings shed light on the way price volatility affects the welfare of farmers, traders, and consumers. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects$vCongresses 606 $aFood prices$vCongresses 610 $afood price, groceries, instability, inflation, poverty, income, wealth gap, economics, public policy, farming, agriculture, consumers, market forces, production, waste, biofuel, supply shocks, demand, financial speculation, history, energy, weather, global warming, drought, nonfiction, technology, corn, harvest, commodity, environmentalism, rational storage, bubbles, domestic stabilization, insulation, protection, scarcity, hunger, social sciences. 615 0$aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aFood prices 676 $a338.19 702 $aChavas$b Jean-Paul, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHummels$b David, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWright$b Brian D., $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838368103321 996 $aThe Economics of Food Price Volatility$94138959 997 $aUNINA
