Abstract: | It is argued that while world oil prices decreased sharply in recent months, the threat of oil disruption and accompanying oil price jumps remain a major concern of all oil-importing countries, especially beyond 1990. It is further suggested that linear programming models are a unique tool in the analysis of certain aspects of the vulnerability problem. In particular, linear programming models are important in assessing the degree to which the world and domestic oil markets could adjust to short-term supply disruptions, given constraints on transport, trade, and refining possibilities imposed by the physical structures of those market sectors. |
