Announcement: New staff publication

The Journal of International Money and Finance recently published a special issue entitled

“Understanding International Commodity Price F luctuations” co-edited by Rabah Arezki (IMF),

Prakash Loungani (IMF ), Rick van der Ploeg (Oxford University), and Anthony J. Venables (Oxford

University). The papers were presented at a conference in Washington, D.C., September 20-21,

2013, organized jointly by the Research Department of the International Monetary Fund and the

Oxford Centre for the Analysis of Res ource Rich Economies at the University of Oxford. The special

issue addresses three key questions (i) Are commodity prices increasingly being driven by f‌inancial

speculation?; (ii) Do newer techniques to forecast commodity prices beat a random walk? (iii) What

are the economic and environmental impacts of new sources of energy supply?
