Rockets and Feathers? Petroleum Product Price Movements
Rockets and Feathers? Petroleum Product Price Movements “Shooting up like a rocket, drifting downward like a feather in the wind,” or so goes the perception of petroleum product prices. This became the focus of public attention world over in 2008, when the international price of oil surged in the first six months, only to fall dramatically to a third of its peak value in the following five mont...
متن کاملPrice relationships in the petroleum market: an analysis of crude oil and refined product prices
In this paper the relationships between crude oil and refined product prices are investigated in a multivariate framework. This allows us to test several (partly competing) assumptions of earlier studies. In particular, we find that the crude oil price is weakly exogenous and that the spread is constant in some but not all relationships. Moreover, the multivariate analysis shows that the link b...
متن کاملChange in Oil Price Dynamics
This paper studies the behavior of crude oil spot and futures prices. Oil prices, particularly spot and short-term futures prices, appear to have switched from I(0) to I(1) in early 2000s. To better understand this apparent change in persistence, a factor model of oil prices is proposed, where the prices are decomposed into long-term and short-term components. The change in the persistence beha...
متن کاملSpatial Price Discrimination in International Markets
Firms’ fob prices can vary depending on the distance to the destination market for two reasons: (i) firms can charge a different markup (ii) they can offer a product with slightly different quality. In theoretical models, distance generally covers transport costs. This paper shows that the response of firms’ prices to changes in distance to the destination market depends on the formulation of t...
متن کاملPrice and Quality Dynamics in Export Markets
This paper investigates the evolution of firm-level price and quality decisions in export markets. We develop a model of heterogeneous firms which endogenously choose their optimal price and product quality to build demand in each export market. Consistent with existing research, more productive firms produce higher quality products, charge higher prices, sell more units and achieve higher prof...
