1. In 2018, oil price was $71 and consumption was 100 million barrels per day on average. Assuming the price elasticity of demand was -0.20 and the price elasticity of supply was +0.25, estimate a supply equation for the 2018 oil market:
2. In 2007, the following long run demand and supply equations were estimated for the oil market: QD = 43.6–0.18P and QS = 18.4+0.18P. In 2007, the price was $70. Expanded drilling of oil in Alaska could have increased the supply by approximately 1% in 10 years. Find the new equilibrium price assuming this change in supply, with demand staying constant.

Several Democratic Presidential candidates have promised to ban oil drilling on federal lands and waters. (1) Using supply-and-demand graphs, graph and explain what would happen to the price of oil if the US stops drilling on federal lands. (2) Using what you know about oil production, explain why the immediate impact of a drilling ban would not be the same as long term impacts. (3) The US produces about 12 million barrels of oil per day and consumes about 22...

12.10. Suppose that the total market demand for crude oil is given by Qp70,000 - 2,000 P, where Qp is the quantity of oil in thousands of barrels per year and P is the dollar price per barrel. Suppose also that there are 1,000 identical small producers of crude oil, each with marginal costs given by MC = q+5, where q is the output of the typical firm a. Assuming that each small oil producer acts as a price taker,...
Suppose that a country imports 2 billion barrels of crude oil per year and domestically produces another 4 billion barrels of crude oil per year. All the domestic production is consumed by domestic consumers (i.e. there are no exportations). The world price of crude oil is $80 per barrel. Assuming linear demand and supply schedules, economists estimate the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.3 and the price elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.15 at the current equilibrium....
U.S. crude oil and natural gas production increased in 2018, with 10% fewer wells 2/3/2020 WASHINGTON - In 2018, while production was increasing, the total number of wells producing crude oil and natural gas in the United States fell to 982,000, down from a peak of 1,035,000 wells in 2014. This increase in production, despite the decline in the number of wells, reflects advances in technology and drilling techniques. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)’s updated U.S. Oil and Natural...

MANAGERIAL CHALLENGE Why Charge $35 per Bag on Airline Flights? American Airlines (AA) announced that it would immediately begin charging $35 per bag on all AA flights, not for extra luggage but for the first bag! Crude oil had crushed from $54 to $20 per barrel in the previous 3 months. AA’s new baggage policy applied to all ticketed passengers except first class and business class. On top of incremental airline charges for sandwiches and snacks introduced the previous year,...
