Inaugural Research Council Meetings of 2015

In early 2015, the J.P. Morgan Center for Commodities (JPMCC) at the University of Colorado Denver Business School established a prestigious Research Council, which, in turn, consists of distinguished academics and accomplished practitioners across commodity segments. The JPMCC’s Research Council has thus far met in April and December 2015, and is chaired by Professor Colin Carter, University of California, Davis and co-chaired by Dr. Margaret Slade, Professor Emeritus, Vancouver School of Economics, University of British Columbia. In this issue of the GCARD, we cover the agricultural panel’s presentations from April 2015, which were delivered by distinguished academic and practitioner members of the Research Council. Future issues of the GCARD will cover academic panels on energy, metals-and-mining, and on renewable energy.
