The 2015 FEEM International Workshop on “Recent Evolution of Oil and Commodity Prices” is the natural continuation of a series of events organized by the FEEM research programme “Energy: Resources and Markets” in the last three years, namely “Financial Speculation in the Oil Markets and the Determinants of the Oil Prices” (2012), “Oil Price Forecasts and Trends” (2013), and “Oil and Commodity Price Dynamics” (2014).
The aim of this year’s workshop is to provide participants with updated and high-quality perspectives on a number of issues which are crucial to understand oil price evolution and dynamics during the last months, the causes and the consequences of low oil prices, the challenges that rapid oil prices declines and increases offer to oil price forecasters, the complexity of the international oil and commodity markets, the financialization and the interconnections of energy and non-energy commodity derivatives markets.
This aim is accomplished by gathering together internationally distinguished scholars, renowned professionals from energy and financial institutions, as well as FEEM senior and junior researchers, who will present and discuss fresh results from their own research works.
