Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the last few years, we have faced some profound and rapid changes in commodities markets that are also believed to persist in the next few decades. The aim is to encourage sustainability, decarbonization, and digitization of the sector, which will cause a rapid increase in the demand for a large number of commodities in the future. These include copper, aluminum, green steel, nickel, tin, cobalt, lithium, metal scrap and rare earths.
Taking into consideration the fact that the commodity supply and demand sector is fundamentally changing as a result of the energy and material transition, academic research in these areas is also rapidly developing. To facilitate dissemination of this research, a Special Issue of Commodities aims to bring together a collection of high-quality papers that offer original contributions to the knowledge on a wide range of topics regarding new insights into commodities markets under transition. The Editors particularly welcome articles that deal with time series and empirical finance applications in any field of commodities.
