Abstract
This study investigates market capitalization elasticity with respect to changes in mineral price by analyzing the relationship between the Korea Composite Stock Price Index market capitalization and the international prices of six major strategic minerals. Weekly data from the 1st week of 2009 to the 52nd week of 2022 were analyzed using the autoregressive distributed lag model. The model comprises market capitalization, mineral prices, exchange rate, money supply, and leading economic index variables with time lags. The results revealed that the changes in the prices of all six strategic minerals except bituminous coal had a positive effect on the market capitalization, while bituminous coal had no effect. The findings of this study support recent developments in the importance of strategic minerals in ensuring resource and economic security.
