Speculation on agricultural commodities : a brief overview

Ingo Pies, Sören Prehn, Thomas Glauben, Matthias Georg Will

This short essay on financial speculation with agricultural commodities offers (1) a sur-vey of the real economy factors that caused recent hunger crises, (2) an overview of academic research on the impact of index-based financial speculation on agricultural futures markets, and (3) a discussion of political measures that are appropriate for im-proving global food security. The arguments are supported by numerous graphs.
