Winberg, A R

This book is addressed to those interested in an analysis of Canada's natural gas exports, North American natural gas market trends, and more generally, international trade in raw materials. The author outlines the development of Canada's natural gas industry and examines the country's management of natural gas exports, applying the findings to the more general international issues related to trade in primary commodities. Emphasis on risk management in uncertain, competitive environments provides useful parallels with other industries. Four major, interrelated conclusions are drawn concerning the nature of price appreciation and fluctuation for commodities, the tendency for governments to become involved in more and more aspects of commodity trade, the growing tendency for the basic ground rules for trade to be changed in mid-course, and the nature of how technological change affects the supply and demand for commodities on the international market.
