Abstract. The aim of this research is to analyse the factors which influence the price
volatility of tin commodity. Monthly basis data were collected from 1990 to 2015. We
employed ARCH-GARCH models and verified by interview with tin expert. The
results showed that model EGARCH (1,1,1) is the best model to explain the price
volatility of tin commodity. Changing factors from crude oil price, copper price, lead
price and T-Bill 3M were significantly affecting volatility in tin price. Experts believe
the high volatility from 2001 to 2015 led to the difficulties in developing of
downstream tin industry in Indonesia.
