Inside This Book (Learn More)

First Sentence
Commodity price risk is an important element of the world physionomy at this date, as it has an impact on the economy of both developed and developing countries: in a rough approximation, one can state that the latter include most commodity producing countries, the former being originators, marketers and manufacturers. Read the first page

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: 1.0 out of 5 stars Riddled with mistakes, 30 Sep 2008 By  Dr. Douglas R. Mclean (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    As a quantitative analyst in the energy industry I was very disappointed in Pr Geman's recent text. To put it politely would be to say that it has been written somewhat in a hurry. To be blunt would be to say it is riddled with mistakes, its notation being uncoventional and confusing. The book contains the entire spectrum of errors from those which are blatantly mathematical or financial to those which are grammatical or typographical. One of the numerous mathematical mistakes states that the mean of the log-normal variable on line 2 of page 100 is -F^{T_1}(sigma^2/2)(t-t') where it is in fact F^{T_1}(t') exp{-sigma^2 [t-t'-1] / 2}. It is clear to me that no one has proof read the text as its many typographical errors show. In short, the subject matter the text purports to report upon is new, interesting and exciting and this book should have been very good given the reputation of its author. The interested buyer would do well to wait for the next edition or consider better written books such as "Energy and Power Risk Management" by Eydeland and Wolyniec Energy and Power Risk Management: New Developments in Modeling, Pricing and Hedging (Wiley Finance) or the more technical "Stochastic Modelling of Electricity and Related Markets" by Benth, Saltyte-Benth and Koekebakker STOCHASTIC MODELING OF ELECTRICITY AND RELATED MARKETS: 0 (Advanced Series on Statistical Science & Applied Probability).

Yes No (Report this)   4.0 out of 5 stars The best reference on commodity markets, 14 May 2009 By  Mathieu Fortin (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    As a structurer on commodity markets I must agree that this is not a book for quantitative analysts. Dr. Douglas R. Mclean is certainly disappointed, but this was not a book for him. I must say that the mistakes are really there and this is quite disappointing: for that reason I only give it 4 stars. Having said that, this book is a reference for anyone working on commodities. I have not found any book that is as complete and insightful as this one. The first 2 chapters give some notions on market fundamentals such as spot forward and futures markets and their relationships, these are quite important to understand on commodities markets. The chapters 3 to 6 are about stochastic price modeling, option pricing and risk neutral concepts. These are not my favourite chapters as they are quite technical, and requires some advanced mathematical knowledge, which I have: but it was not the funniest part! The following chapters - the core value of the book - presents various commodities and their market with unequaled insight. This chapters are essentials for people working on commodities and are useful to novice to learn and experienced financiers to remember. You'll get familiar with the commodities, their characteristics and how they impact their market and price movements. It is difficult for me to make a review good enough to describe how useful this book is, but as a junior structurer on commodities it really helped me get insight and start with my new job.
