Explanation of Figure B-1.5 – US would produce 14mbd by itself at $33/b – At price of $3, US would produce 9mbd and import 10mbd. – Before Trade – CGT = Area 1; PGT = Area 2 + Area 3 – After Trade – Consumers gain CGT of Area 2 + Area 4 + Area 5 – Producers lose PGT of Area 2 – Net gain of Area 4 + Area 5 = Gains from trade

Figure B-2.2: US Imports of Oil After OPEC Raised Price P Q S DOMESTIC SR P C = $3 9m 11m 17m 19m P’ W = $12 D SR
Explanation of Figure B-2.2 – 1. At world price $12, US would produce 11mbd and imports 6mbd. – 2. When US price controls are introduced at $3, US producers would cut back production to 9mbd and imports rise to 8mbd so consumption is still 17mbd. World price is still $12 so need slightly different graph.
Figure B-2.3: US Imports of Oil After OPEC Raised Price P Q S DOMESTIC SR P C = $3 9m 11m 17m 19m P’ W = $12 D SR
Explanation of Figure 2.3 – 1. When US price controls are introduced at $3, US producers would cut back production to 9mbd and imports rise to 8mbd so consumption is still 17mbd. – 2. Results: Price controls lower US production, transfer PGT from producers to refiners, raise imports by 2mbd, and leave consumption unchanged.
