Abstract

Nonrenewable Resources and Conservation: Government Policy (Q38) Oil Oil Price
This paper shows the oil market price within a given target zone has inverted S-shape and exhibits mean-reversion towards target price. Zoned price is more stable than free market price. It is nondefensible at lower limit of band, and policy is imperfectly credible, if size of output ceiling is relatively 'too large.' There is the other option of shifting the target zones. With higher intervention (defense) probabilities, the turnaround (convexity) in the market price at the intervention points is sensitive to the trend drift, market risk, and changes in expectations. Those sensitivities are reversed with higher readjustment probabilities.
