That RBA research paper is fascinating, can we have more DLS-style analysis on that later today?
Consistent with the resource-intensive nature of much investment, the results also indicate – in China and elsewhere – a significant role for investment as a source of resource demand. This is in line with previous literature highlighting a dual role for investment and exports as drivers of demand for resource commodities. However, it appears that, over recent decades, a sizeable proportion of China’s investment can be traced to the growth of its domestic and export-oriented manufacturing operations. Thus, while much of China’s demand for resource commodities over this period has been driven by investment, it appears that this investment has in turn been sensitive to global influences.
However, one wonders why Chinese demand for commodities accelerated so rapidly in early 2009 when Chinese exports were close to their nadir.
Perhaps I should hand you the keys...
