The Role of Oil Price Shocks in Causing U.S. Recessions
Authors:LUTZ KILIAN  ROBERT J. VIGFUSSON
Abstract:Although oil price shocks have long been viewed as one of the leading candidates for explaining U.S. recessions, surprisingly little is known about the extent to which oil price shocks explain recessions. We provide a formal analysis of this question with special attention to the possible role of net oil price increases in amplifying the transmission of oil price shocks. We quantify the conditional effect of oil price shocks in the net oil price increase model for all episodes of net oil price increases since the mid‐1970s, analyze its determinants, and show that the linear model fits the data better.
Keywords:E32  E37  E51  Q43  real GDP  nonlinearity  asymmetry  time variation  conditional response  prediction  net oil price increase
