First published in 1983, this book provides a detailed look at the OPEC nations' changing roles in the world oil market as they expanded their participation in downstream activities such as the hydrocarbon industries formerly controlled by the major oil companies. The authors begin with a detailed survey of world oil resources and an overview of the production capabilities and polices of major oil exporters. They then examine the contemporary refinery overcapacity crisis in the developed world, outline the refinery construction plans of the OPEC nations and the refinery scrapping problems in the industrialised world, and employ simulation tools to estimate the future output mix of refineries in key OPEC nations. A discussion of the comparative economics of refineries in the Gulf and in Europe in also included.
Turning to the tanker industry, the authors project future oil export patterns and tanker demand in light of changing import/export need and OPEC's participation in oil and refined products transport. Subsequent chapters describe OPEC's ventures into petrochemical manufacturing and natural gas processing. The book concludes with a chapter on the future of OPEC, examining its changing power structure, the influence of non-OPEC oil production, possible future oil-pricing policies, and the opportunities and constraints that OPEC nations will meet as they expand their operations in the downstream oil industry.
This book will be of interest to students of economics and Middle East and international politics.

Автор: Rabah Arezki, Akito Matsumoto Название: Shifting Commodity Markets in a Globalized World ISBN: 1484310322 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781484310328 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 22170.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Technology, demography, policies and institutions are some of the forces that affect commodities such as energy resources, metals, and food. This book, based on research in the Commodities Unit of the IMF’s Research Department, explores the interplay of these various forces across different commodities markets. Readers will find rich and coherent analysis of the forces driving commodity markets over the medium run and their interaction with the global economy.This collection of IMF research takes a fresh look at the many issues affecting commodity markets by drawing lessons from recent historical developments including the collapse in oil prices and the Paris climate accord. Chapters discuss how technological innovation shapes commodity prices and, in particular, how the innovation cycle is intimately linked to oil prices. The authors use the natural gas markets to show how geography, geopolitics and energy policy can influence trade patterns and the mix of energy resources used within a given area. The book discusses the importance of technological evolution and the domestic and international implications of the climate accord in shaping the energy transition from fossil fuels to clean(er) energy. The authors documents how demand for metals shifted from “West” to “East” while supply shifted from “North” to “South”—on account of the spectacular rise of China and large resource finds in Latin America and Africa.

Our post-industrialised global economy has achieved spectacular success and pushed back poverty to an extent previously thought impossible. This success is ultimately based on the continued supply of both renewable and non-renewable resources. Will this supply of primary commodities remain sufficient to support global economic growth? Why are the gains for countries specialising on commodity production often so limited? Can commodity dependent countries diversify into other economic activities?
Primary Commodities and Economic Development addresses the changing position of primary commodities in the world economy and investigates their importance for commodity exporting under-developed countries. The book commences with a review of the theoretical foundations for inter-dependence between commodity specialisation and economic underdevelopment. Having related the role of commodity exports and the commodity terms of trade to growth models relevant to developing economies, the discussion shifts to an in-depth review of the statistical properties of the commodity terms of trade. The review of commodity price trends at the global level is then rounded off with a series of country case studies showing the concrete threats and opportunities surrounding commodity specialization.
This book will be of essential reading for those with an interest in development economics and international economics, as well as for scholars of natural resource and agricultural economics.
