Crude oil price: Demand, supply, economic activity, economic policy uncertainty and wars: from the perspective of structural equation modelling (SEM) (2017)
Journal Article
Wang, Q., & Sun, X. (2017). Crude oil price: Demand, supply, economic activity, economic policy uncertainty and wars: from the perspective of structural equation modelling (SEM). Energy, 133, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2017.05.147

We studied the relationship between the change in the price of oil and some of its determinants, using a structural equation model. The demand for oil is confirmed to be inelastic to the change in oil price during our sampling period. Economic activi...
