Testing the hypothesis of collusive behavior among OPEC members
This paper presents a test to discriminate among behaviors of producers of exhaustible resources. In contrast with previous empirical studies (Griffin, 1985), which studied the static implications of such behaviors, our approach is based on the possibility of testing the dynamic implications of the behavior of the "competitive" producer versus the "collusive" producer. The behavior of a competi...

Excess oil production capacity of OPECchr('39')s core countries lets them to have different behavior in normal and exceptional periods.

متن کاملDeterminants of OPEC production: Implications for OPEC behavior
We estimate models that identify the economic and organizational determinants of crude oil production by individual OPEC nations. To clarify the interpretation of econometric results, we model production with specifications that resolve the statistical ordering of variables and estimate models with techniques that can cope with stochastic trends in the time series. We also analyze the short-run...
