ResumoThis Working Paper should not be reported as representing the views of the IMF.The views expressed in this Working Paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent those of the IMF or IMF policy.Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate.This paper formulated a short-run model, with an explicit role for monetary policy, for analyzing world oil and gas markets.The model described carefully the parameters of these markets and their vulnerability to business cycles.Estimates showed that short-run demand for oil and gas was priceinelastic, relatively income-elastic, and was influenced by interest and exchange rates; short-run supply was price-inelastic.Short-run price inelasticity could be a source for high volatility in oil and gas prices, and could confer to producers a temporary market power.Being simultaneous and incorporating interest and exchange rates, the model could be useful in short-term forecasting of oil and gas outputs and prices under policy scenarios.
