Abstract

At equilibrium the international prices of all forms of energy at all locations are uniquely related to the one price, that of the marker crude. These unique prices are those found in the market place after time lags. A two or multiple tier price structure is unstable and, in time, reverts to a single tier price structure.1–4,6)

Copy of Working Paper read to the meeting of the British Institute of Energy Economics, Chatham House, 9 St. James’ Square, London SW1 4LE, on 27 January, 1982.
