Global dynamics in a commodity market model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the global behavior of the price dynamics in a commodity market governed by a balance between demand and supply. While the dependence of demand on price is considered instantaneous, the supply term contains a delay, leading to a delay–differential equation. A discrete model is naturally defined as a limit case of this equation. We provide a thorough study of the discrete case, and use these results to get new sufficient conditions for the global convergence of the solutions to the positive equilibrium in the continuous case. For when the equilibrium is unstable, we provide some bounds for the amplitude of the oscillations that are quite sharp when the delay is large. © 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Global Convergence and Uniform Bounds of Fluctuating Prices in a Single Commodity Market Model of Bélair and Mackey
We extend the analysis of the global dynamics for a special class of single commodity market models introduced by Bélair and Mackey. In particular, we determine uniform asymptotic bounds for the fluctuating price, and give sufficient conditions for the global convergence to the positive equilibrium.
متن کاملFuture of the World Oil Market with an Expanding Role of Shale Oil: A System Dynamics Approach
In this paper, we develop a dynamic system model to predict the effects of shale oil production on demand and supply of oil. We study the interaction between demand and supply of OPEC and non-OPEC member countries and supply of shale oil, oil price, growth of the global economy, development of new oil reserves and alternative energies. In our model, OPEC acts passively and covers the market d...
متن کاملUnspanned stochastic volatility and the pricing of commodity derivatives
Commodity derivatives are becoming an increasingly important part of the global derivatives market. Here we develop a tractable stochastic volatility model for pricing commodity derivatives. The model features unspanned stochastic volatility, quasi-analytical prices of options on futures contracts, and dynamics of the futures curve in terms of a low-dimensional affine state vector. We estimate ...
متن کاملUsing System Dynamics to Model Rod Bar Supply Chain in Iranian Market
Steel market and particularly rod bar market play important roles in economy of countries. Economic systems are considered as complex systems which are sophisticated to be modeled mathematically. One way to model these systems is simulation and use of system dynamics. This paper models rod bar supply chain in Iran using system dynamics. Data of this research is gathered from first hand materi...
متن کاملTransition in Iran’s Electricity Market Considering the Policies on Elimination of Electricity Subsidies: System Dynamics Application
Because of electricity subsidies, electricity price in Iran is much lower than its real value, and the growth of electricity demand is much more than its rational rate, which in turn implies ever increasing investment in the electricity section by the Government. Therefore, the recent Government policies are based on elimination of electricity subsidies, followed by commissioning complete elect...
