Overview

The course aims to introduce students to the key economic questions raised by commodities from both financial and macroeconomic perspectives, going from Prebish-Singer hypothesis or commodity currencies to gold hedging properties and financialization of commodity markets. The second objective of the course is to learn the standard and advanced empirical strategies specifically designed for each of these issues. The econometric tools include non-stationary tests, co-integration models, GARCH family models, dynamic correlation models and panel fixed effects models.
