With the rapidly increasing global energy needs, offshore oil production has become an attractive source of energy. Supplying offshore oil production installations is a complex logistics problem that hinges on many factors with significant uncertainties. So, it is critical to provide the necessary supplies and services without interruption. In a typical offshore oil production effort, oil compa...

this article analyses the effects of foreign exchange commitment and exchange rate unification policies on iran’s non-oil exports during the last three decades. in addition, the effects of these policies on non-oil exports have empirically been estimated. for this purpose, an export supply model was estimated using the econometrics technique of auto regressive distributed lag (ardl) and reliabl...

This paper analyzes the effects of oil price shocks on the characteristics of the business cycle and on welfare in a small open economy, such as in the case of the Spanish economy. The results show the ability of the model to reproduce the business cycle path of the Spanish economy, especially in those periods when shocks in the price of oil were most dramatic. Furthermore, the model reproduces...

Fluctuations in crude oil price significantly impact the global economic market. A rise or a fall leads to redistribution of wealth in both oil-exporting and importing countries. Under such background, efficient and accurate predictions for crude oil price are critical for a stable economic development. However, crude oil price forecasting has been proved to be an extremely tough task, due to i...

Energy has been the main pillar of the global growth and development. Amongst various sources of energy, oil has the largest share in the global energy consumption. As these energy reserves tend to decline, few regions, most notably the Middle East which has been at the forefront with the largest reserves, can fulfill the rising global energy demand. Even then, in view of its vast energy potent...

Increase in the exchange rate may not always promote export of non-oil production and exports of various goods; rather they might have different reactions to the exchange rate. Hence, in this study we tried to examine the effect of real effective exchange rate on Iranian pistachio export. The required data were collected from statistical yearbook of Iran's foreign trade, statistical yearbook of...

Oil is one of the main inputs demanded by production, heating and transportation sectors in many developed developing countries. In countries where rate industrialization growth high, dependence on oil constantly increasing. Factors such as fact that large reserves are located certain regions world, differences extraction costs, supply demand imbalances cause prices to fluctuate.
