What would be the effect of ANVWR production on the world price of oil given that E = - 0.30, n= 0.40, the pre-ANWR daily world production of oil is Q, = 82 million barrels per day, the pre-ANWR world price is p, = $100 per barrel, and daily
ANWR production would be 0.8 million barrels per day? For simplicity, assume that the supply and demand curves are linear and that the introduction of ANWR oil would cause a parallel shift in the world supply curve to the right by 0.8 million
barrels per day.
Determine the long-run linear demand function that is consistent with pre-ANWR world output and price.
The long-run demand function is
Q= 106.6 - 0.246p .
Determine the long-run linear supply function that is consistent with pre-ANWR world output and price.
The long-run supply function is
Q = 49.2 +0.328p
Determine the post-ANWR long-run linear supply function.
The long-run supply function with ANWR oil production is
Q = 50 + 0.328p.
Use the demand curve and the post-ANWR supply function to…
