MACROECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE 1986 OIL PRICE DECLINE

John Tatom

Contemporary Economic Policy, 1988, vol. 6, issue 3, 69-82

Abstract: The oil price decline during 1986 sparked a renewed debate over how oil price changes affect the economy and whether the effects of oil price declines are equal and opposite those of oil price increases. This article reviews theoretical and more casual arguments concerning this issue and describes some tests rejecting the hypothesis that the effects of oil price declines are asymmetric to those of oil price increases.
