FSU Oil Production
and GDP Decline
– Granger Causality and the
Multicycle Hubbert Curve

Douglas Reynolds and Marek Kolodziej
Reasons for breakup


Economic inefficiencies of central
planning
Reagan Administration policies
1987 oil production peak
Granger Causality


Correlation is not causation
Did the oil peak Granger-cause GDP
decline and the breakup?
GDP-to-oil hypothesis




Economic chaos decreased investment
Lower GDP: destroyed internal demand
Hypothesis rejected - we have 95%
confidence that GDP does not Grangercause oil production
Tested for 1-, 2-, and 3-year lags
Oil-to-GDP hypothesis



Oil Granger-causes GDP with 95%
confidence
This is 1970-2003 data, so oil Grangercaused GDP even prior to the peak
Tested for 1-, 2-, and 3-year lags
Granger Causality
GDP=f(lagged GDP)
GDP=f(lagged GDP, lagged oil)

Coal-to-GDP,
Natural gas-to-GDP




GDP Granger-caused a coal production
decline (98% confidence) but not vice versa
No Granger-causality between NG and GDP
Therefore, Oil causes GDP but coal and NG
do not
This suggests oil affects the economy, but not
vice versa

First cycle: 19th century to 1996, with a
1987 peak
Discovery peaked in the 1960s
1996 – privatization of Russian oil
Better property rights
Production at old fields resumed and
fueled recent growth

The basic Hubbert model is

Conclusion


1987 oil production peak was a
contributing factor to Soviet collapse
Soviets were investing a lot in the
energy sector, but scarcity caused
production to decline
Conclusion




First peak in 1987 at 12.05 mb/d
Secondary peak expected in 2009-2010
at around 12.5 mb/d
FSU URR = 255 Gb
(Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan,
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan)
Jean Laherrère: 250 Gb
