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.

Only three months into my time in Morocco, I have had the chance to befriend young Moroccans and share conversations about Morocco’s burgeoning economy and its plans to build the world’s largest solar power plant. These Moroccan youth also s ...

    The In-focus session about Jobless Growth during the Atlantic Dialogues on December 14th led to a passionate debate on the future impact of jobless growth on Africa as well as the world economy. « Jobless growth » was coined by the American economist Nick Perna (Yale) in the early 1990s. The causes of this phenomenon are highly discussed. For instance, automation is seen as the main source of jobless growth by some economists while others argue that it falls into a « Luddite Fallac ...
