Shock wave/fire interactions initiated by high explosives have been historically demonstrated as potentially effective ways to control oil well fires or even forest fires in situations where conventional means cannot be applied. However, the mechanisms by which a fire can be extinguished by a shock wave are not well understood. A series of experiments have been conducted involving a moving shoc...

In this paper, we analyze the effects of oil revenue shocks on different sectors of the Iranian economy. We use quarterly data of the Iranian economy from 1988:2 to 2011:1 to analyze a time-varying parameter VAR model with the Bayesian method. The results show that in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the positive effects of oil revenue were mostly emerged in the industrial and oil sectors, havin...

We investigate how the dynamic e¤ects of oil supply shocks on the US economy have changed over time. We …rst document a remarkable structural change in the oil market itself, i.e. a considerably steeper, hence, less elastic oil demand curve since the mid-eighties. Accordingly, a typical oil supply shock is currently characterized by a much smaller impact on world oil production and a greater e¤...

U sing daily data, this study examined asymmetric pass-through of Iran’s oil price to banking stock index in Tehran Stock Exchange at different time horizons. Based on the results, the coefficient of long-run pass-through of oil price to banking stock index was estimated to be 0.63. Furthermore, based on the short-term ARDL-CECM models, the relationship between the positive component...

When the U.S. invaded Iraq in March 2003, many economists feared that the war would lead to a sharp decline in Iraqi oil production, a spike in oil prices, and a woeful economy that would follow the scripts of the oil shocks of 1973, 1978, and 1990. There was in fact a moderate decline in world oil production, and real oil prices increased from $20 in 2001:4 to $62 in 2006:3. But the ailments a...

This paper explores similarities and differences between the run-up of oil prices in 200708 and earlier oil price shocks, looking at what caused the price increase and what effects it had on the economy. Whereas historical oil price shocks were primarily caused by physical disruptions of supply, the price run-up of 2007-08 was caused by strong demand confronting stagnating world production. Alt...

In this work, we propose an analysis of the global market for crude oil based on a revised version Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) model introduced by Kilian and Murphy (2014). On respect, replace proxy above-ground inventories with futures-spot spread. The latter is defined as percent deviation futures price from spot it represents measure convenience yield but expressed opposite sign....
