《仓储与商品市场》主要是一部经济学理论著作，关注的是储存过剩商品的能力如何影响商品的价格和生产。它对总库存随时间推移的行为的关注，为以下问题提供了见解：考虑到未来收成的不确定性，一个国家应该从目前的粮食供应中储存多少粮食。涉及的相关议题包括储存或国际贸易是否是更有效的缓冲，以及原料或加工形式的储存是否更有用。有几章专门分析了诸如价格带、缓冲库存和战略储备等政府方案。这一材料属于公共财政的应用福利分析领域。由于所提出的理论是足够普遍的，它应该是感兴趣的宏观经济学家研究总库存或储蓄和那些在运筹学研究库存和定价政策的大公司。
Storage and Commodity Markets is primarily a work of economic theory, concerned with how the capability to store a surplus affects the prices and production of commodities. Its focus on the behaviour, over time, of aggregate stockpiles provides insights into such questions as how much a country should store out of its current supply of food considering the uncertainty in future harvests. Related topics covered include whether storage or international trade is a more effective buffer and whether stockpiles are more useful in raw or processed form. Several chapters are devoted to analysing such government programmes as price bands, buffer stocks, and strategic reserves. This material is in the domain of applied welfare analysis with public finance. Because the theory presented is sufficiently general, it should be of interest to macroeconomists studying aggregate inventories or savings and to those in operations research studying inventory and pricing policies of large firms.
