Jan 18, 2018 · The 2014-16 collapse in oil prices was driven by a growing supply glut, but failed to deliver the boost to global growth that many had expected. In the event, the benefits of substantially lower oil prices were muted by the low responsiveness of economic activity in key oil-importing emerging markets, the effects on U.S. activity of a sharp contraction in energy investment and an abrupt ...

May 1, 2018 · With the benefit of hindsight, this paper provides a fresh and comprehensive look at the causes of the 2014-16 collapse in oil prices and its impact on the global economy. It disentangles the contribution of supply and demand factors, assesses the impact on activity in oil exporters and oil importers, and reviews policy responses in these countries.
First, the 2014-16 collapse in oil prices had a broad-based and long-lasting dampening effect on activity in oil-exporting emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). Nearly 70 percent of these economies experienced decelerating activity in 2015 and 2016, largely driven by weakening domestic demand. In general, activity in oil exporters ...
