Commodity Instability and Developing Countries: The Debate

Author

Listed:
  • Alfred Maizels

Abstract

The significance of commodity price instability for the economic development of commodity-exporting countries has been perhaps the dominant theme in the postwar literature on the "commodity problem". One of the contending postwar views of the significance of excessive commodity price fluctuations on the economies of producing countries can be traced back to Keynes.
