The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a group of oil producers that have entered into an agreement aimed at controlling the world supply of oil. They behave like a monopolist, seeking to maximize profits by restricting output and increasing price. Suppose that the inverse demand curve for oil over the next five years is P = 165 − 2.5Q, where Q is millions of barrels per day. OPEC’s marginal cost is $15/barrel, or C(Q) = 15Q. a....

What is unit inelasticity of demand? OPEC (organization of petroleum exporting countries) is a group of countries that generates 45% of the world’s total crude oil production. Hence, OPEC has significant influence on the amount of oil produced each year. Countries in the OPEC sometimes do not agree with the prevailing price of oil in the global market. In such cases, they respond by cutting their production. (Example: Saudi Arabia stops pumping oil out of some wells.) What happens to...

Over the past 20 years the 12 members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries have made repeated attempts to restrict output in order to maintain high crude oil prices. Between 1990 and 1995, however, crude oil prices dropped by about 20%, due in part to increased production from the former Soviet Union, Latin America, Asia and the North Sea. In light of these increases in oil production from non-OPEC countries, what must OPEC do to maintain the price of...

Perhaps the most famous example of oligopolistic collusion is the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). During the 1970s, this cartel, which controlled much of the world supply of oil at the time, was able to control output and significantly raise world oil prices. However, since that time, OPEC has been largely unsuccessful in controlling the supply of oil. Another factor that has weakened OPEC control is oil discoveries in other countries, induced in part by expected profits due to...
