Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the role played by state-trading organization (STDs) in the evolution of international minerals markets. Of particular interest are the implications regarding commodity market structure, market power and price formation. These implications are analysed here through a framework previously developed by the author.1 After a brief description of the framework, the paper addresses its application to state-trading activity in four minerals of major importance to industrialized as well as to developing economies: copper, tin, bauxite, and iron ore.
