• Economic rent that a cartel extracts from the market through its power
• Sudden changes in the price or availability of imported oil
World Oil Price
History of World Oil Price
Cartel rents and long term cost of oil import: 2 opinions
• Cartel rents are likely to be significant.– LEIBY et al. (1997) : With an OPEC supply
elasticity of 5, the marginal cartel rent is $0.90/barrel
– Supply elasticity = 1 : marginal cartel rent is $2.86/barrel
• Cartel rents are unlikely to be large or policy relevant.
Economic Rent
• Rent: Payments made to lease the services of land, apartments, equipment, or some other durable asset.
• Economic Rent: Portion of the payment to the suppliers of an input that is excess of the minimum amount necessary to retain the input in its present use.
Economic Rent with Vertical Supply Curve
Economic Rent with an upward sloping supply curve
Price Elasticity of Supply
Monopoly and Monopsony
Profit Maximization
Why is MC above S?
• For example, suppose• The firm employs 10 workers at a wage of
$30• but to employ 11 workers, the firm must
pay a wage rate of $31 to all 11 workers.• The marginal cost of hiring the 11th worker
is $41,• Because total labor costs rise from $300 to
$341.
Monopsony power
(Leiby et al 1997, p.10):(Leiby et al 1997, p.10):
• The marginal external cost per barrel of The marginal external cost per barrel of U.S. oil imports from monopsony U.S. oil imports from monopsony power (denoted power (denoted EEMM) can be expressed ) can be expressed inin
• as the quantity of imports, as the quantity of imports, MM, times the , times the increase in world price resulting from increase in world price resulting from an extra quantity of imports, an extra quantity of imports, dpdpww//dM dM ..
• or the marginal external cost is simply or the marginal external cost is simply the world price divided by the elasticity the world price divided by the elasticity of supply, of supply, ε,ε, of oil imports with respect of oil imports with respect to the world price, to the world price, ppww..
Calculation of monopsony premium
Costs of oil market disruptions
• Disruptions are likely to lead to significant externalities. – LEIBY et al. (1997) : the marginal external costs of
the increase in import costs during the disruptions: from zero to $2.11/barrel
• Macroeconomic adjustment losses depend on the change in energy prices and the volume of the total (not just imported) energy consumption. – LEIBY et al. (1997) : macro economic adjustment cost
= from zero to $6.48/barrel • Disruptions are unlikely or lead to significant
externalities.
case study in Ukrainecase study in Ukraine
• How much capacity does Ukraine have for the increase of gas import price?
• How much could Ukraine influence the gas import price, and how?

Methodology
• Calculate Macroeconomic Adjustment Cost for the increase of the Gas Import Price
• Estimate the Monopsony Power of Ukraine that could influence/lower the gas import price, by reducing the gas consumption

Regression Analysis
Macroeconomic adjustment cost estimation - Conclusions:Conclusions:
• Reduction of the gas demand/consumption keeps Reduction of the gas demand/consumption keeps the GDP still growing.the GDP still growing.
• Reduced imported gas volume should have been Reduced imported gas volume should have been supported/replaced by the other actions such as supported/replaced by the other actions such as using alternative energy source, introducing the using alternative energy source, introducing the energy saving technology, or switching to the other energy saving technology, or switching to the other industrial activities to keep the GDP growing.industrial activities to keep the GDP growing.
• The reduced total money over time divided by the The reduced total money over time divided by the total amount of gas reduced should be spent for total amount of gas reduced should be spent for keeping the GDP growth upward. keeping the GDP growth upward.
• And, it is the externality that is not accounted in the And, it is the externality that is not accounted in the price of the gas price in the retail market inside the price of the gas price in the retail market inside the Ukraine, i.e., the externality for adjusting the Ukraine, i.e., the externality for adjusting the domestic macro-economy or the GDP growth.domestic macro-economy or the GDP growth.
