Abstract
This paper offers a time-continuous competitive storage model and provides an analysis of the model solution. The model is relevant to the mineral commodity markets with traders managing inventories and getting speculative profits. The model includes serially correlated shocks of net supply and an upper boundary on the storage capacity. The no-arbitrage conditions on commodity trade imply the existence of the equilibrium price function under the standard boundary conditions on speculative trade. The equilibrium price is determined by the state variable defined as the long-term availability of commodity, which is the sum of storage and the expected cumulative disturbances of net supply. An approximate solution for a low-elastic net demand on commodity is derived in the explicit form. Numerical simulations of the equilibrium price function are conducted to examine the effects of the model parameters on this function.

期刊介绍:
The HSE Economic Journal publishes refereed papers both in Russian and English. It has perceived better understanding of the market economy, the Russian one in particular, since being established in 1997. It disseminated new and diverse ideas on economic theory and practice, economic modeling, applied mathematical and statistical methods. Its Editorial Board and Council consist of prominent Russian and foreign researchers whose activity has fostered integration of the world scientific community. The target audience comprises researches, university professors and graduate students. Submitted papers should match JEL classification and can cover country specific or international economic issues, in various areas, such as micro- and macroeconomics, econometrics, economic policy, labor markets, social policy. Apart from supporting high quality economic research and academic discussion the Editorial Board sees its mission in searching for the new authors with original ideas. The journal follows international reviewing practices – at present submitted papers are subject to single blind review of two reviewers. The journal stands for meeting the highest standards of publication ethics.
