Previous oil shocks’ features • Common features 1. When the world economy was expanding at a rapid rate 2. When the world’s crude oil capacity was being stretched to the limit 3.

Why different? • Competition • Rotemburg and Woodford(1996) Price Normal times cost margin Under perfect Competition Less higher Price Oil price hike cost margin Under imperfect Competition Higher Price cost margin Korea Energy Economics Institute
