Oil Price Shocks, Market Response and Contingency Planning

by George Horwich and David L. Weimer

This volume suggests strategies to ease the stress posed by disruptions in the oil supply. After describing the impact of such crises both in general terms and in particular instances in the 1970s, the book examines means of contending with future disruptions, including the role of the strategic petroleum reserve, financial assistance programs, demand restraint measures, monetary and fiscal policies, and international oil sharing.
