Topological properties of commodities networks

AbstractThis paper investigates the topological properties of the commodities networks. We have found that commodities form strong clusters and are homogeneous with relation to sector (metals, agriculture and energy). We also develop a dynamic approach suggesting that agriculture commodities are very important in the network, followed by metals and energy. Furthermore, the parameters that characterize the network seem to be changing over time.
