The Journal of Commodity Markets and Risk Management invites for potential publication analytical papers relating to all aspects of commodity markets and risk management including immediate policy concerns as well as more long-term issues. The goals of this journal are to stimulate as well as to serve as an outlet for research on commodity markets especially as it relates to developing countries.
The journal will publish three kinds of papers: academic research articles, policy reviews and expository surveys of methods and/or issues. The journal invites contributions for potential publication in all three sections.
The scope of the journal extends to all commodities – agricultural, metals and industrial and to both physical (spot) and futures markets. As few developing country markets approach the textbook ideal of centralized, liquid markets with low transactions costs, the journal also welcomes analytical contributions on commodity supply chains that are alternatives to these idealised markets. The journal encourages papers that address global commodity market issues.
As developing countries liberalize their markets, demand has grown for an understanding of risks and their management. The economics of risk and insurance complements the research on commodity markets. The journal welcomes contributions that address risk management for individual entities as well as for governments. The risks need not always originate in markets - for example, the journal will publish work on weather derivatives and weather insurance because they matter so much for commodity markets.
The journal follows a double blind review process. Submissions received before July 31st, 2008 will be considered for publication in the first issue.
