Abstract

A study was carried out to analyze futures markets for tradable rights after a cash market was initiated. Furthermore, some indication was given on the size of such a futures market to provide insight into its viability. Futures markets can play a role in solving environmental problems, by making the market for pollution rights (i.e. P 2 O 5 rights) and agro rights (milk rights, sugar rights and P 2 O 5 rights) more effective and transparent. Moreover, the market for tradable rights would be able to meet the users' need for hedging. This paper investigated the possibility of introducing a futures markets for tradable P 2 O 5 rights and the commodity manure. Because there is already a cash market for manure, although not well developed yet, and there will be a cash market for P 2 O 5 rights, a futures market is a logical sequel. The futures market can play a role in implementing agricultural policy efficiently and with respect to manure and P 2 O 5 rights can be an economically efficient solution to environmental problems.
