other, less controversial, reasons that could explain
the observed long-run decline in real commodity prices. First, the
income elasticity of demand for most commodities (defined as the
percentage change in demand due to a 1% change in income) is commonly lower than for manufactures, and so, with expanding income,
the lower growth of commodity demand is likely to result in a weaker
commodity price development.

A reflection regarding commodity booms is that misguided beliefs
regularly develop during the period of elevated prices, that is, that
we now have a new, normal and much higher equilibrium price
level. This belief will typically lead to overinvestment and an ensuing period of depressed prices once the excessive investments
mature. This phenomenon is clearly visible in a scrutiny of historical
commodity prices

Commodity booms are defined as a major deviation from longrun equilibrium prices. Three such booms are identified in the
period after the Second World War, and all have been triggered
by exceptionally strong commodity-demand increases caused by
fast economic growth in the world economy. Prices return closer
to equilibrium when the boom ends, either because of recession
and slow demand growth or because new capacity
