Extract
Various classes of models possess characteristics essential for commodity analysis. One class, input-output (I-O) models, can complement more widely used ommodity models, such as econometric and mathematical programming, which are often directed at a few specific production and use markets for the commodity under analysis. I-O models either formally linked with, or used independently of, these other models provide an analytical framework for examining macroeconomic adjustments to commodity market shocks. Further, I-O allows the tracing of resource flows to and from the commodity market and among all secondary markets. These characteristics suggest that a commodity-oriented I-O model ought to be a component of a package of models designed to provide complete coverage of a commodity for economic analysis.
