Oil and the global economy
We develop a five-region version (Canada, a group of oil exporting countries, the United States, emerging Asia and Japan plus the euro area) of the Global Economy Model (GEM) encompassing production and trade of crude oil, and use it to study the international transmission mechanism of shocks that drive oil prices. Oil prices rose more than 4% on Wednesday, boosted by a wider market pickup on positive news from China, after three days of losses due to fears about a weakening global economy. Oil rose on Friday and posted the biggest weekly gain in more than a month as support from falling U.S. crude inventories, optimism over a U.S.-China trade deal and possible action from OPEC and Our projections show global oil demand rising by 38 million barrels a day to 115 mb/d by 2025 — an annual average growth rate of 1.7 per cent. [ Slide 8 ] Oil’s share of the world energy mix will dip slightly during this period, from 40 to 37 per cent. Oil-producing nations vary in scale across the world, yet the United States, Saudi Arabia and Russia are the largest producers. Nations that are the most dependent on Oil revenues are some of the smaller, less mature economies of the world. Still, the changing demographics of oil production could hurt the global economy. While in the past the loss to exporters was bolstered by importers’ gains, the U.S. now competes with Saudi Arabia and Russia for the title of the world’s largest oil producer. In theory a long period of low oil prices should benefit the global economy. The world is both a producer and a consumer: what producers lose and consumers gain from a drop in prices sums to zero.
Indeed, the oil market experienced large shocks during this period. Demand was affected by negative revisions to global economic prospects. Supply disturbances
Oil prices do have an impact on the U.S. economy, but it goes two ways because of the diversity of industries. High oil prices can drive job creation and investment as it becomes economically Still, the changing demographics of oil production could hurt the global economy. While in the past the loss to exporters was bolstered by importers’ gains, the U.S. now competes with Saudi Arabia and Russia for the title of the world’s largest oil producer. This combined model is referred to as the GVAR-Oil model, which allows for a two-way linkage between the global economy and oil prices. Changes in the global economic conditions and oil supplies affect oil prices with a lag, with oil prices potentially influencing all country-specific variables. The model incorporates features of oil supply such as depletion, endogenous oil exploration and extraction, as well as features of oil demand such as the secular increase in demand from emerging-market economies, usage efficiency, and endogenous demand responses. Oil prices have been persistently low for well over a year and a half now, but as the April 2016 World Economic Outlook will document, the widely anticipated “shot in the arm” for the global economy has yet to materialize. We argue that, paradoxically, global benefits from low prices will likely appear only after prices have recovered somewhat, and advanced economies have made more progress surmounting the current low interest rate environment. It also doesn’t take much teeth-baring to send the global economy into a tailspin. The oil shock of 1990-91 increased oil prices by only 50% and lasted for only a couple of quarters, yet it was
