The Oil Trading Markets 2003-2010: Analysis of market behaviour and possible policy responses / Adair Turner, Jon Farrimond, and Jonathan Hill. OIES, April 2011,  62 p. (WPM 42)http://www.oxfordenergy.org/pdfs/WPM42.pdfIn  this working paper Adair Turner et al. consider price movements in the  oil trading markets between 2003 and 2010 and provide an analysis of  factors which potentially explain the significant trends in this period.  The authors also discuss the impact of different forms of oil price  volatility and propose the type that matters most from an economic  standpoint is medium-term price trends. The authors then discuss  possible public policy actions that could be employed to prevent or  mitigate such trends with the paper concluding that proposals solely  related to the operation of the financial markets will not address the  fundamental drivers of instability.
