Oil price shocks and global imbalances: Lessons from a model with trade and financial interdependencies

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate oil price shocks' effects and their associated transmission channels on global imbalances. To this end, we rely on a Global VAR approach that allows us to account for trade and financial interdependencies between countries. Considering a sample of 30 oil-exporting and importing economies over the 1980-2011 period, we find that the nature of the shock-demand-driven or supply-drivenmatters in understanding the effects of oil price shocks on global imbalances. In addition, … Show more

“…By contrast, we model these flows via a drop in China's relative price resulting from oil price shocks. Another related paper is Allegret et al (2014), which investigates oil price shocks' effects and their associated transmission channels on global imbalances. They find that associated with oil price shocks, there is a transfer of wealth from oil-importing countries to oil-exporting ones.…”

“…As the demand on energy always maintains the tendency of a strong increase, as a strategic resource as well as a financial product, the price of oil will certainly be impacted by many comprehensive factors [14][15][16]. On the one hand, the marketization degree of the price of oil and coal has been very high in China, and was basically geared to international standards.…”

“…Since the seminal work by Backus and Crucinic (2000), another body of the literature has recently been growing that recognizes the importance of oil price fluctuations when assessing the macroeconomic impacts on the balance of trade (e.g., Allegret et al, 2015;Killian, Rubucci, & Spatafora, 2009;Rafiq et al, 2016). By adopting a dynamic general equilibrium model to eight OECD countries, for example, Backus and Crucinic (2000)) reveal that oil price shocks explain a substantial variation in terms of trade.…”
