7 What are the proposed options (1) ER = Emergency Reserve, Von Braun & Torero (2009 a,b) (2) ICGR= Internationally coordinated grain reserves, Linn (2008) (3) RR = Regional lreserves as the one of ASEAN (4) CR = Country level reserves, this could imply significant relative costs at the country level, significant distortions and little effect on volatility given low effect over international markets. (5) VR= Virtual Reserves, Von Braun & Torero (2009) (6) DFIF=Diversion from industrial and animal feed uses, Wright 2009 (7) IS+IFA= Better information onstorageandinternational and FoodAgency (Wright 2009) (8) IGCA= International Grain Clearance Arrangement, Sarris (2009) (9) FIFF= Food Import Financing Facility, Sarris (2009). (10) EWM=Early Warining mechanism (11) TF= Trade Facilitation Wright (2009) and Lin (2008) Page 7
8 Option 1: Challenges of Physical reserves Determination of optimum stock, which is politically loaded, Predicting supply and demand and where the potential shortfalls in the market may be can be extremely difficult Reserves are dependent on transparent and accountable governance Level of costs / losses Reserves cost money and stocks must be rotated regularly The countries that most need reserves are generally those least able to afford the costs and oversight necessary for maintaining them The private sector is better financed, better informed, and politically powerful, putting them in a much better position to compete Uncertainties that strategic reserves can bring about in the market place. Reserves distort markets andmismanagement andcorruption can exacerbate hunger rather than resolving problems Page 8
9 Option 2: Regulation of Future exchanges Should we reform commodity exchanges by: limiting the volume ofspeculation relative to hedging through regulation; making delivery on contracts or portions of contracts compulsory; and/or imposing additional capital deposit requirements on futures transactions. Answer: Requires several conditions to be effective Problem 1: not binding regulation we have seen triggers were not activated and also not clear incentives Problem 2: Inter linkages between exchanges
10 Option 2: Regulation of Future exchanges Methodology: We use three MGARCH models: the interrelations between markets are captured through a conditional variance matrix H, whose specification may result in a tradeoff between flexibility and parsimony. We use three different specifications for robustness checks: Full T BEKK models (BEKK stands for Baba, Engle, Kraft and Kroner), are flexible but require many parameters for more than four series. Diagonal T BEKK models are much more parsimonious but very restrictive for the cross dynamics. Constant Conditional Correlation Model (CCC) models allow, in turn, to separately specify variances and correlations but imposing a time invariant correlation matrix across markets. Data: In the case of corn, we examine market interdependence and volatility transmission between USA (CBOT), Europe/France p/ (MATIF) and China (Dalian DCE); for wheat, between USA, Europe/London (LIFFE) and China (Zhengzhou ZCE); and for soybeans, between USA, China (DCE) and Japan (Tokyo TGE). We focus on the nearby futures contract in each market and account for the potential impact of exchange rates on the futures returns and for the difference in trading hours across markets. Source: Hernandez, Ibarra and Trupkin ( 2011)
11 Option 2: Regulation of Future exchanges The results show that the correlations between exchanges are positiveand clearly significant for the three agricultural commodities, which implies that there is volatility transmission across markets. In general, we observe that tthe interaction ti between USA (CBOT) and the rest of the markets considered (Europe and Asia) is higher compared with the interaction within the latter. In particular, the results show that the interaction between CBOT and the European markets is the highest among the exchanges considered for corn and wheat. Similarly, the results indicate that China s wheat market is barely connected with the other markets. However, in the case of soybeans, China has a relatively high association with the other markets, particularly with CBOT. Source: Hernandez, Ibarra and Trupkin ( 2011)
12 Option 3: Safeguard mechanism Virtual reserve A safeguard mechanism to manage risk through the implementation of a virtual reserve backed up by a financial fund to calm markets under speculative situations Answer: Requires several conditions to be effective Problem 1: Links between futures and spot market Problem 2: Institutional i ldesign Problem 3: An early Warning mechanism to define volatility and abnormalities in changes in returns (extreme values) R t =(lnp t lnp t 1 )
13 Option 3: Safeguard mechanism Virtual reserve A coordinated commitment by the group of participating countries. Each of the countries would commit to supplying funds if needed for intervention in grain markets Dt Determining ii the size of this fund will require further analysis as commodity futures markets allow for high levels of leverage. These resources would be promissory, or virtual, not actual budget expenditures. It requires a global market analysis unit (GMAU)
14 Option 3: Safeguard mechanism Virtual reserve The intervention will take place in the futures market => A signal of a potential intervention will be announced Intervention could happen when the GMAU triggers the alarm that changes in returns are significantly above (95 th percentile of its conditional value at risk) based on market fundamentals The potential intervention would consist ofexecuting a number ofshort sells over a specific period of time in futures markets around the world at a price lower than the current future price. The global intelligence unit would recommend the price or series of prices to be offered in the short sales
15 Option 3: Safeguard mechanism Virtual reserve The key advantages of the VR with respect to a physical reserve and regulation concepts are: it is just a signalling mechanism; it does not put more stress on the commodity market; it does not incur in the significant storage and opportunity cost of a physical reserve; it resolves the problem of the inter linkage between the financial and the commodity market; and given that it is a signal, its effect over markets should be minimal.
16 Problem 1: Spots and future move together Source: Hernandez & Torero (2009)
17 Problem 1: Spots and future move together Granger causality tests were performed to formally examine the dynamic relation between spot and futures markets. The following regression model is estimated to test if the return in the spot market (RS) at time t is related to past returns in the futures market (RF), conditional on past spot returns, where H 0 : (i.e. RF does not Granger cause RS). ) Conversely, RF t is the dependent variable to evaluate the null hypothesis that spot returns (RS) does not Granger cause futures returns (RF). Similar tests are performed to examine causal links in the volatility of spot and futures returns. Source: Hernandez & Torero (2009)
18 Problem 1: Spots and future move together Granger causality test of weekly returns in spot and futures markets, # lags H 0 : Futures returns does not H 0 : Spot returns does not Granger cause spot returns Granger cause futures returns Corn Hard Wheat Soft Wheat Soybeans Corn Hard Wheat Soft Wheat Soybeans *** *** *** 15.44*** 6.10*** *** *** *** 21.24*** *** *** 75.33*** 20.74*** 2.24* *** *** 57.92*** 16.93*** 2.08* *** 79.91*** 46.38*** 14.57*** *** 65.92*** 38.36*** 12.41*** *** 56.21*** 32.90*** 11.51*** 2.12** * *** 49.91*** 29.37*** 10.35*** 1.97** *** 44.64*** 26.09*** 9.38*** *** 40.89*** 23.44*** 9.05*** *10%, **5%, ***1% significance. F statistic reported. Note: The Schwartz Bayesian Criterion (SBC) suggests lag structures of 2, 3, 2 and 3 for corn, hard wheat, soft wheat and soybeans, respectively. The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) suggests lag structures of 8, 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Period of analysis January 1994 July 2009 for corn and soybeans, and January 1998 July 2009 for hard and soft wheat. Itappears that futures prices Granger cause spotprices. prices. Source: Hernandez & Torero (2009)
19 Problem 1: Spots and future move together Tests were also performed on sample sub periods to analyze if the dynamic relation between spot and futures markets has changed across time. 1. Causality tests for separate 2 year periods. 2. Causality tests for each sample sub period corresponding to a different farm program (1990, 1996, 2002 & 2008 Farm Bills). 3. Rolling causality tests: repeated tests over 104 week periods by rolling the subsample period one week ahead until the available data is exhausted. 4. Nonparametric causality tests were performed to uncover potential nonlinear dynamic relations between spot and futures markets. The test proposed by Diks and Panchenko (2006) is implemented. Overall, it appears that futures markets have generally dominated spot markets in the past years. Source: Hernandez & Torero (2009)
20 Problem 2: Institutional design Clearly, agreement on the arrangements for the VR will not be easy and may require a high level h lunited dnti Nations task kforce to analyse the way forward. Yet similar institutional arrangements have been made in the past; examples are: The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD): IFAD, for example, was established as an international financial institution in 1977 as a major outcome of the 1974 World Food Conference in response to the food crisis of the early 1970s. The Food Aid Convention (FAC): first signed in 1967 and renewed five times, is the only treaty under which h signatories i have a legal l obligation to provide international development assistance. The IMF Cereal Import Facility and the IEA.

We need to improve information i to better handle price volatility We need more and better information on stocks innovations in how to measure them We need to start in at least in better information and models to identify the extreme price spikes We need to develop models to link food and demand supply with: international prices, water sustainability, climate change and trade
