The 1984-86 Commodity Recession: Analysis of Underlying Causes

The large and widespread decline in non-oil primary commodity prices during 1984-86 is shown to be fundamentally different from the declines in the four previous cycles since 1970, which had been caused largely by weak demand. Rising supplies of food and the lagged effects of increased production ca...

description	The large and widespread decline in non-oil primary commodity prices during 1984-86 is shown to be fundamentally different from the declines in the four previous cycles since 1970, which had been caused largely by weak demand. Rising supplies of food and the lagged effects of increased production capacity of industrial raw materials were major factors depressing primary commodity markets in the 1980s, particularly in 1984-86. The econometric results also suggest that economic growth in the industrial countries must, on average, be over 3 percent a year to contribute positively to commodity prices by offsetting negative longer-term structural changes.
