Dynamique de l’offre pétrolière, stratégies d’investissement et comportements de stockage: Un état des lieux
Authors
April 1, 2015

Cet article vise à mieux comprendre la relative inélasticité-prix de l’offre de pétrole et tente de démontrer, qu’au-delà du niveau des prix, la volatilité et la structure de marché ont une influence considérable sur la stratégie des firmes productrices tant à court terme qu’à long terme. Pour cela, différentes variables doivent être considérées : la nature du jeu stratégique entre les producteurs dans un contexte d’oligopole, la nature des chocs d’offre ou de demande jouant sur l’arbitrage production/stockage, ainsi que l’ampleur de l’incertitude à laquelle les producteurs doivent faire face lorsqu’ils s’engagent dans une stratégie d’investissement en capacité de production.

    خلال القمة التي عقدها الرئيس الفرنسي إيمانويل ماكرون في قصر الإليزيه بباريس في 29 مايو 2018، صادق الفاعلون الرئيسيون الأربعة في الأزمة الليبية على "الإعلان السياسي بشأن ليبيا" الذي ينص على إجراء انتخابات برلمانية ورئاسية في 10 ديسمبر القادم. هذه الوثيقة "التاريخية"، كما جاء على لسان الرئيس الفرنسي، تظل مهددة بالتعقيدات التي تطبع الأوضاع على أرض الواقع في ليبيا. كثيرة هي المبادرات التي هدفت إلى إخراج ليبيا من الفوضى التي تتخبط فيها منذ انهيار نظام العقيد معمر القذافي في 2011. لكن حت ...

    Donald Trump, a golf addict with a self-declared handicap of 3, is not noted for any chess enthusiasm, although the game is a simulation of a battle, and filled with military terminology such as double attack, demolition, breakthrough, decoying, interception, blockade, and x-ray attack among others. The historic game is intellectual, structured, and logic. The object is to maneuver the antagonist’s king into a position from which escape is impossible. The two contenders - at times - ...

    Les quatre acteurs majeurs de la crise libyenne ont approuvé, le 29 mai 2018, lors du Sommet organisé par le Président français Emmanuel Macron au Palais de l’Elysée à Paris, une “Déclaration politique sur la Libye” qui prévoit l’organisation le 10 décembre prochain d’un double scrutin, législatif et présidentiel. Ce texte “historique”, selon le Chef de l’Etat français, reste cependant menacé par la complexité de la réalité sur le terrain libyen. On ne compte plus les initiatives v ...

    The spike in US bond yields since mid-April in tandem with the strengthening of the dollar sparked a retrenchment of capital flows to emerging markets (EM), accompanied by a sell-off of assets in some cases.

    He wore sunglasses. A traditional red and white checkered headscarf, a Bedouin Arab keffiyeh, covered his balding head. His combat uniform was khaki colored. When my host sat down he clamped his Kalachnikov with two hands, tucking the weapon to his chubby body, 5 feet and 4 inches in all. He was unshaven, with his famous three days beard. The tent was surrounded by armed guards, since we were meeting (in secret) in the Jordan Valley, near the Israeli-Jordanian border. Caution was ad ...
