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. 546 Text in English. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Food prices|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85050307|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001533 650 0 Agriculture|xEconomic aspects|vCongresses.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100886 650 0 Food supply|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008103999 650 7 Food prices.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/930995 650 7 Agriculture|xEconomic aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/801415 650 7 Food supply.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/931196 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1423772 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2lcgft|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026068 700 1 Chavas, Jean-Paul,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n88636021|eeditor. 700 1 Hummels, David,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no93029998|eeditor. 700 1 Wright, Brian,|d1948 January 1-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n90650689|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tEconomics of food price volatility. |dChicago : University of Chicago Press, 2014 |z9780226128924|w(DLC) 2013040592|w(OCoLC)860755348 830 0 National Bureau of Economic Research conference report. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n00011926 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=796782|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
