Main lessons Consequences depend on causes • Supply or demand
– Supply driven decline >Positive – Oil specific demand > Positive – (Aggregate) Demand drive decline >Offsetting
• Persistence and dynamics affect consequence Causes: • Demand and supply have both played a role in
the price drop, but supply a bigger role; • Changed behavior of Saudi has changed
expectations about supply dynamics; 4

Aggregate demand helped explain fluctuations in oil prices. Not this time.

Other commodity prices have declined
but much more gradually • Metal prices typically
track aggregate demand as well.
• The decline in metal prices is much less pronounced than for crude oil prices.
=> Supply factors behind the oil price slump?

Demand “Surprises” • What were the changes
in demand over the second half of 2014 and where do we stand now?
• Forecast errors (1mb/d) imply a 10-20% in the price decline.
• That is roughly 30% of price changes . 0.0

OPEC Reaction (or lack thereof)
• OPEC typically adjusted to targets to stabilize prices.
• This time is different? But why?
• Learned lessons from 1980s?
• Erosion of cartel discipline? 0

Outlook and Consequences Outlook: future supply behavior is key, but very
uncertain • How will oil supply respond to lower prices?
– In past, response has been with a lag. – What happen if the efficiency gains are strong and
investment drop further? Cobweb? • What will Saudi/OPEC do? Future demand: 1% growth forever? • Downward shift of potential GDP growth • Efficiency gains/ Energy policy

Investment and Production in Oil Sector
• Investment activity declines quickly in response to oil price decline.
• Oil production gradually decline over time in response to oil investment.
• The current future prices indicate stagnant oil production.
