Introduction
First futures market in India in 1921 (Bombay Cotton Exchange)
Post liberalization Committee on Forward Markets (1993)
17 commodity groups allowed futures trading In 2003
Government notification permitting futures trade in 103 commodities
Total notional turnover of commodity futures markets 4.6% of the GDP in 2003-04 to 90% of the GDP
The literature on futures markets in developing countries is quite sparse (Ramaswami and Singh, 2006)

Theory
Defining a Market Defined as “the area within which the price of a commodity tends
to uniformity, allowance being made for transportation costs” (Stigler, 1969)
Price convergence through Market integration Law of One Price (LOP)
For purposes of this study, two stages of reform 1992-93 2002-03

Literature Review (LOP & Integration)
Ardeni (1989) proved (for Aus, Can, US, UK) LOP failed uniformly as a long-term relationship and Deviations from the pattern were permanent
Baffes (1991) Supportive evidence for LOP with regard to specific commodities and
time periods Failure of LOP could be due to transportation costs
Ravallion (1986) found (for Bangladesh) Conditions for short and long-term integration were not met Possible reasons for this result were:
Interference from the government that prevented free flow of food-grains Frequent flooding affected transport costs and risk-taking ability of the
traders

Literature Review (Transmission of prices)
Mundlak and Larson (1992) Global commodity price variation constituted a major part of the
variation of the domestic commodity prices Quiroz and Soto (1993) found
Transmission of global commodity prices did not really occur Hazell, Jaramillo and Williamson (1990)
Variability in world prices had been transmitted to LDCs in export unit values ($), but not in average producer prices
Trade restrictions, exchange rate or domestic distortions responsible for discrepancy between domestic and world prices
Morriset (1998) Upward movement in world prices were clearly passed through
in domestic prices, downward movements were not

Literature Review (Reforms & stock market)
Ammer and Mei (1996) Found high real and financial integration between the U.S. and U.K.
economies Henry (2000a)
Higher abnormal stock returns in the period leading up to the stock market liberalization
Post which there was a fall in the rates of return and lower cost of capital
Henry (2000b) Concluded that stock market liberalizations lead to private investment
booms Forbes and Rigobon (2002)
Found high level of market co-movement between international stock markets during stable periods as well as crises

Literature Review (Reform & commodity market integration)
Baffes and Gardner (2003) Looked at the degree of integration into the global economy for eight
countries that underwent reforms in mid-1980s & early 1990s Found only three countries had a high degree of integration Commitment to reform lacking in rest
De Jong & De Roon (2005) Found integration of emerging stock markets into global stock markets But to varying degrees due to the level of segmentation of the market
Jain (1981) Commodity markets in U.S. & U.K integrated only imperfectly
Sekhar (2004) Found volatility in Indian markets lower for most agricultural
commodities due to greater integration into world markets

Propositions
Proposition 1 a: Indian commodities markets have become integrated into the global commodity markets after the reforms
Proposition 1 b: There is a structural break in the degree of integration following the reform year

Methodology
Follow Baffes & Gardner (2003) methodology, using regression analysis: Testing for units root in the following uni-variate process
(pdt – pwt) ~ 1(0) If the price differential as defined above is stationary, then one can conclude that domestic prices
follow world price movements in the long run
(Pdt -pdt-1)= μ + α (pwt-1- pdt-1) + β (pwt- pwt-1) + u t
Where pdt = domestic prices pwt=world commodity prices
pdt-1= domestic prices with one lag pwt-1 = world prices with one lag
β indicates how much of a given change in world price of commodity will be transmitted to the domestic price in the current period (short-run effect)
α indicates how much of the past price difference between domestic and world prices is eliminated in each period thereafter (speed of adjustment effect)
Speed of adjustment at period n : k = 1 – (1 – β)(1 – α)n
H0: k1 ≠ k2 Subscripts 1 and 2 refer to pre-and post-reform periods

Data
Domestic commodity prices will be taken from: Government publications
NCDEX for 2004-07
World prices (mainly from the World Bank site) will be converted
by using the official exchange rate
