Beschreibung

Commodities have determined the fate and fortune of nations for years and would continue to do so in future through the volatility prevailing in their markets. Volatility in agricultural commodity prices originates mainly from the supply shocks, and with short run demand and supply elasticity coefficients acute price fluctuations arise. Agricultural commodity futures being blamed for food inflation in India, much interest revived among researchers, academicians, regulators and policy makers in examining the performance of futures and its relevance to the small scale production system prevailing in India. This book explores the performance of futures market in India along with some policy interventions to increase the system's efficiency.
