Research Interests

My primary research interests are (agricultural) commodity market analysis, futures pricing and policy-evaluation issues on markets, with a focus on the theoretical mechanism and empirical evidence on price bubbles in commodity (futures) markets. Some recent topics are about the effects of commodity financialization.

My research is empirically driven and includes aspects of testing and enhancing theories on markets.
