Econometric AnalysesAppendixIntroductionWe conducted a series of econometric analyses to model platinum supply,demand and price.Econometric Analyses 1 Platinum Jewelry Demand: Both Japan and the world 2 Total World Demand for Platinum: All uses of platinum 3 Platinum Supply World demand for autocatalyst and investment were not modeled separately because:– Price elasticity of demand for platinum from autocatalyst is derived from a conceptualmodel of the general equilibrium derived demand.- Autocatalyst use is required by regulation.- Autocatalyst accounts for only a very small proportion of total car manufacturingcosts.– Investment demand for platinum only accounts for a relative small proportion of totaldemand for platinum.D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt5

Econometric AnalysesAppendixPlatinum Jewelry DemandPlatinum Jewelry Demand: Japan has been the largest market for platinumjewelry, but demand has been affected by Japan’s economic slowdown. Inthe meantime, platinum jewelry demand has grown sharply in China,reaching 1.3 million troy ounces (40 Mg) in 2001.Jewelry Market Share by Region (%)Jewelry Demand (%)100.0%North %30.0%Largely due toincreasedChina urce: Johnson Matthey, Platinum 2001.D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt6

Econometric AnalysesPlatinum Jewelry DemandAppendixThe predictive power of the jewelry demand model based on the Japanesemarket can be questioned given Japan’s decreasing share in the worldplatinum jewelry market. However, we believe that the model providedvaluable insight into market dynamics. The jewelry demand model helps to illustrate the relationship between demandand other economic variables and estimate the potential impact of thesevariables on the demand for platinum jewelry. There are similarities in the development of the platinum jewelry market inJapan and China:– Both governments had restrictions on gold ownership that gave anopportunity for platinum to penetrate into these jewelry markets. Thesubsequent lifting of restrictions allowed more substitution between platinumand gold jewelry.– Both countries have experienced rapid economic growth and newly createdwealth drives jewelry markets.D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt7

Econometric AnalysesPlatinum Jewelry DemandAppendixThe following factors were included in our models of platinum jewelrydemand for the world and Japan. Quantity of demand for platinum jewelry GDP (gross domestic product) Price of platinum Price of gold Inflation The amount of promotion (advertising) is also an important factor in this marketsegment; however, this information was not available for analysis.D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt8

Econometric AnalysesPlatinum Jewelry DemandWorld Demand PredictionAppendixThe predictive power of the world platinum jewelry demand model wasverified by predicting the quantity demanded outside the sample period. We pretended that the quantity demanded for platinum jewelry was not available from1999 to 2000 and the model was used to forecast those two years. We then comparedthe real quantity of demand for platinum jewelry with the model predictions.

Econometric AnalysesPlatinum Jewelry DemandPrice Elasticity of DemandAppendixThe demand for platinum jewelry is not elastic1, i.e., even when the price ishigh the quantity demanded will remain high. Both the world’s and Japan’s price elasticities of demand for platinum jewelry areinelastic (-0.33 and -0.62 in short-run, and -0.63 for the World in long-run). That is, a 1percent increase in price will result in a 0.33 to 0.63 percent decline in demand. Several publications have stated that demand for platinum jewelry is elastic.– “Demand for platinum in jewelry, its number one use, is ostensibly fairly elastic in thatthere are ready substitutes such as gold, white gold, silver and plated precious metalcoatings.”2 Overstated price elasticity may result from misconceptions rather than data analysis.These authors may believe that platinum jewelry is not a necessity and, therefore, theprice elasticity of demand for platinum jewelry would be high. The less elastic demand of platinum jewelry can be attributed to the fact that demand isdriven by the bridal market, which is less price sensitive since the cost of a wedding ringonly accounts for a small share of the wedding cost.1) For the price to be considered “elastic”, a 1 percent increase in price would result in a decline in demand of more than 1 percent.2) Pearse, Gary H.K., Equapolar Publications, “Platinum Group Metals World Resources Economics of the Future”D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt13

Econometric AnalysesPlatinum Jewelry DemandInfluence of InflationAppendixThe model does not indicate that there is a statistically significantrelationship between platinum jewelry demand and inflation. Estimates of the impact of inflation on platinum jewelry demand for both theworld and Japan yielded positive signs, i.e., the quantity demanded could bepositively correlated with inflation. However, neither estimate is statistically significant.D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt14

Econometric AnalysesPlatinum Jewelry DemandAppendixCross Price ElasticityWe were not able to estimate the cross price elasticity between gold andplatinum jewelry because the price of gold and platinum are highlycorrelated during the period of this study (the coefficient of correlation isabout 0.8).Prices of Platinum vs. GoldPrice per Troy Oz.

Econometric AnalysesPlatinum Jewelry DemandCross Price ElasticityAppendixEven though we were not able to estimate the cross price elasticitybetween gold and platinum jewelry, substitution between platinum andgold* is well known and has been observed by the International PlatinumAssociation. “ the recent economic decline in Japan coupled with a widening disparitybetween the price of gold and platinum together with technical improvementshave led recently to increasing substitution of white gold for platinum ” “Another element in the success of platinum jewelry in China has been thesuccessful promotion campaign of the Platinum International Guild. However,these campaigns have not yet established the wedding market to anywherenear the same extent as in Japan. Platinum jewelry in China has much more ofa fashion element attached to it making it more susceptible to price sensitivityand substitution by white gold than Japan”*** The price of gold and platinum were highly correlated during the period of the study. The correlation coefficient is about 0.8.** International Platinum Association, letter from Marcus Nurdin to Eric Carlson (TIAX), 12/13/02.D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt16

We pretended that the total quantity of demand was not available from 1999 to 2000 andthe model was used to forecast those two years. We then compared the real totalquantity of demand with the model predictions.

Econometric AnalysesTotal World Demand for PlatinumPrice Elasticity of DemandAppendixThe short-run price elasticity of total world demand for platinum isinelastic; however, the long-run price elasticity is elastic. Price elasticity of total world platinum demand has the expected negative signand is significant (i.e., when platinum price increases, the quantity demandedfalls). In the short-run, the price elasticity of demand for platinum is not elastic(-0.66). The quantity demanded is not very responsive to a price change,reflecting the reality that it is difficult to find a substitute metal for platinum inthe short-run. In the long-run, the price elasticity of demand for platinum is elastic (-1.129),indicating that in the long-run, as technology progresses, it is easier to identifysubstitutes for platinum to respond a price change.D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt21

Econometric AnalysesTotal World Demand for PlatinumIncome Elasticity of Demand AppendixThe total world demand for platinum responds positively to theperformance of the world economy—the quantity demanded increases asthe total income increases. However, the two factors that influence the total world platinum demand(i.e., the world GDP index and the total world platinum demand in previousperiods) are highly correlated (coefficient of correlation is about 0.85). As aresult, the standard error for income elasticity is very large.Log (GDP) & Log (Demand forPlatinum at t-1)181614Log(GDP)12Log(Demand forPlatinum at 01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt22

AppendixEconometric AnalysesTotal World Demand for PlatinumCross Price Elasticity of DemandThe cross price elasticity of platinum with respect to palladium is larger inthe long-run than in the short-run. Unlike the relationship between platinum price and gold price, platinum priceand palladium price are not highly correlated during the period we studied.Therefore, we are able to estimate the cross price elasticity of platinumdemand with respect to the palladium price. The cross price elasticity has the expected positive sign and is significant,indicating that the two metals are substitutes in some applications, such ascatalytic converters. In the short run, the degree of substitution is small (0.19), i.e., a 1 percentincrease in the price of palladium will result in a 0.19 percent increase indemand for platinum. The low level of substitution is due to time, cost andtechnical limitations. In the long run, the degree of substitution increases (0.65), i.e., a 1 percentincrease in the price of palladium will result in a 0.65 percent increase indemand for platinum. The level of substitution is higher because of the timeavailable for users to adopt new technology.D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt23

Econometric AnalysesPlatinum SupplyAppendixPlatinum Supply: The objective of our analysis of platinum supply was tobetter understand the relationship between platinum price and supply. We were not able to develop a structural model for platinum supply becauseneeded information was not available. A structural model would need to includethe information described below:– Proven reserves– Mine and refinery capacity– Mine and refinery capacity utilization– Production cost– Changes in inventory– Secondary supplyD0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt24

Econometric AnalysesPlatinum SupplyAppendixDue to the lack of information needed to estimate a complete structuralplatinum supply model, two related analyses were pursued. 1Analyze the real platinum price on world market.– We conclude that there is no strong evidence that real platinum priceshave trended upward during the 20th century. This result suggests thatplatinum supply is elastic and future increases in demand for platinumcan be met without large change in real price. 2Estimate a distributed lag relationship between real platinum priceseries and quantities produced.– An exogenous increase in platinum production is modeled as affectingcurrent platinum price through its effect on the current marginal costs ofmining and refining. Such an increase could continue to affect platinumprice for some period into the future because of the time required toadjust capital stocks to new levels of price.D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt25

Econometric AnalysesPlatinum SupplyConclusionsAppendixBecause of the lack of sufficient data to estimate a complete structuralsupply model, a reduced form supply model was estimated. The estimated results are weak; however, there is some evidence that:– Long-run supply is elastic (supply has been able to meet the demand tokeep the real platinum price constant over the last century).– An exogenous increase in quantity has a positive effect on platinum pricefor a short time (2 or 3 year periods) and then the effect fades away.– Supply interruption has a larger impact on platinum price.D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt28

Econometric AnalysesSimulation ModelConclusionsAppendixThe simulation model helps to highlight the following issues related to theimpact of future FCV demand for platinum on price. Future demand for platinum from FCVs could drive up the price of platinum by20 to 30 percent over its base price. A gradual adoption of fuel cell technology would minimize the pressure onplatinum market and minimize the impact on platinum prices. Price declines over time are due to more elastic long-run supply and demand.The supply side has enough time to increase production and capacity and thedemand side has the time to improve technology, to reduce platinum loading,or find alternatives.Other factors outside the scope of our models could have an even moresignificant impact on platinum price than new FCV demand. For example, even without demand from FCVs the 12/17/03 platinum price was 840/oz (53% higher than the long-term mean) as a result of a supply/demandimbalance and other market factors.D0034.2004-01-06 PGM Final Report.ppt32
