Supply flexibility and insurance under commodity market instability

Author

  • Richard Mash

Abstract

The paper integrates the analysis of price volatility and supply instability for a commodity exporting country, adding consideration of the role of the non-tradables sector to the literature. The non-tradables sector plays a potentially significant role in changing the economy's response to instability and increases the returns from access to risk markets.
