During the last decade the world had experienced oil crisis twice: the first one was the fourfold jump in oil prices in 1973 and 1974, the second one came in 1979 with 2.6 times price hike. The current crude oil prices stand around the level of $30 a barrel. The first reaction came quick, with reduced oil consumption and a general decline in economic activity. Furthermore, the second oil crisis has brought about tremendous and varied impacts upon the shipping industry, which is now undergoing an adaptation process to the changing environments. This article is divided into five chapters: chapter I is the introduction on the subject under examination; chapter II is devoted to the trends of the seaborne trade cargoes after the oil crisis; chapter III reveals the impact of the oil price hike on ships and their desion; chapter IV deals with the challenges shipping enterprises face in terms fo economic modus operandi and new international political environments; chapter V sets forth conclusion.

In this paper, we propose the new time-varying coefficient GARCH-in-Mean model. The benefit of our model is to allow the risk-return parameter in the mean equation to vary over time. At the end of 2019 to the beginning of 2020, the world witnessed two shocking events: COVID-19 pandemic and 2020 oil price war. So, we decide to use the daily data from December 2, 2019 to May 29, 2020, which cover these two major events. The purpose of this study is to find the dynamic movement between risk and return in four major oil markets: Brent, West Texas Intermediate, Dubai, and Singapore Exchange, during COVID-19 pandemic and 2020 oil price war. For the European oil market, our model found a significant and positive risk-return relationship in Brent during March 26-April 21, 2020. For the North America oil market, our model found a significant positive risk return relationship in West Texas Intermediate (WTI) during March 12-May 8, 2020. For the Middle East oil market, we found a significant and positive risk-return relationship in Dubai during March 12-April 14, 2020. Lastly, for the South East Asia oil market, we found a significant positive risk return relationship in Singapore Exchange (SGX) from March 9-May 29, 2020.

국제원유시장의 지역화에 대한 논의는 에너지 정책을 수렵하는데 중요한 자료를 제공한다. 특히 우리나라와 같이 하나의 시장에서 80% 가량의 원유를 수입하고 있는 국가에게는 국제원유시장의 지역화 여부는 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 중요한 의의를 가지는 국제원유시장의 지역화를 분석하기 위해서 기존 연구의 공적분 분석 방법론과 함께 가격의 선행 관계와 시차를 고려할 수 있는 인과관계 분석 방법론을 사용하였다. 중동시장의 Dubai유, 유럽시장의 Brent유, 미국시장의 WTI유와 동아시아시장의 Tapis유를 대상으로 국제원유시장의 지역화 여부를 분석하였으며, 공적분 관계가 성립하지 않는 가격에 대해서는 시차의 변경을 고려할 수 있는 Hsiao (1981)의 인과관계 분석방법론을 사용하였다. 또한 공적분 관계가 성립하여 장기적인 균형관계에 놓여 있는 가격에 대해서는 벡터오차수정모형을 사용하여 인과관계를 분석하였다. 공적분 분석 결과 Brent, WTI, Tapis 유의 가격은 서로 장기적인 균형관계가 성립하지만 중동시장의 Dubai유와 이들 세 시장의 가격 사이에서는 장기적인 균형관계를 발견할 수 없었다. 그러나 가격의 선행 관계와 시차를 고려할 수 있는 인과관계 분석을 수행한 결과 Dubai 시장을 포함한 국제원유시장은 1주에서 5주의 시차를 가지고 서로의 가격 변화에 영향을 주는 단일화된 시장이라는 결론을 도출할 수 있었다. 따라서 국제원유시장은 하나의 커다란 단일화된 시장이라는 Adelman (1984)의 가설은 타당하다고 할 수 있다.

2000년 이래로 석유, 가스 등 에너지 가격이 지속적으로 상승하면서 에너지 안보는 그 어느 때보다 중요한 이슈가 되었다. 그 결과 에너지 확보를 위해 세계각국은 적극적으로 해외 자원개발에 나서고 있는 상황이며 관련 경쟁은 점점 치열해져 가고 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 우리나라가 비교적 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 독립계 E&P기업의 투자 행태 분석을 시도하였다. 본 연구에서는 자원의 고갈을 고려한 실물옵션 모형을 이용하여 북미 독립계 E&P기업의 투자 옵션에 대하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 대상기간인 2004년부터 2008년까지의 전반적인 시장 환경에서 독립계 E&P기업은 석유 프로젝트와 가스 프로젝트 모두 충분한 투자 타당성을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 석유 프로젝트가 가스 프로젝트보다 기대 수익이 더 높은 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 가스의 가격이 석유보다 낮고 가스 가격의 변동성이 석유가격보다 높은 것에서 기인한다.

As a national enterprise has been expanded over and over, the worldwide energy consumption has been growing necessarily. Moreover, as recently energy spendings are on the increase in countries such as BRICs, it has resulted that a rise in the price of both oil and mineral resources and instability between supply and demand become serious issue in the world resources market. The recent high price of oil and mineral resources have a deep influence on economy and threaten energy security and even national prosperity of Korea. In addition to these, exhaustion of fossil fuels and the enhanced greenhouse effect which results from gases emitted as a result of fossil fuels has been in serious questions which occur a great deal of effort to secure clean energy resources all around the world. As it is considerably possible for Korea that the Kyoto protocol may come into effect on and after 2013, it is essential to require the technological development to promote energy efficiency as well as to develope safe and renewable energy resources. The wind energy technology which converts kinetic energy into electrical energy has been in the focus of the world's attention. In this study, two-dimensional numerical analyses were conducted to observe subsidence aspects of the sea bottom on differently applied loads and various ground conditions.

China is playing more predominant role in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market worldwide and LNG import price is subject to various factors both at home and abroad. Nevertheless, previous studies rarely heed a multiple of factors. A time-varying parameter factor augmented vector auto-regression (TVP-FAVAR) model is adopted to discover the determinants of China's LNG import price and their dynamic impacts from January 2012 to December 2021. According to the findings, market fundamentals have a greater impact on the import price of natural gas in China than overall economic demand, financial considerations, and world oil prices. The primary determinants include domestic gas consumption, consumer confidence and other demand-side information. Then, there are diverse and time-varying spillover effects of the four common determinants on the volatility of China's LNG import price at different intervals and time nodes. The price volatility is more sensitive and long-lasting to domestic natural gas pricing reform than other negative shocks such as the Sino-US trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic. The results in this study further proves the importance of domestic natural gas market liberalization. China ought to do more to support the further marketization of natural gas prices while working harder to guarantee natural gas supplies.

Many developing countries have attempted to depreciate their currencies in order to make their products cheaper, stimulate exports, shift aggregate demand to the right, and increase aggregate output. However, currency depreciation tends to increase import prices, raise domestic inflation, reduce capital inflows, and shift aggregate supply to the left. The net impact is unclear. The paper incorporates the monetary policy function in the model, which is determined by the inflation gap, the output gap, the real effective exchange rate, and the world real interest rate. Applying an extended IS-MP-AS model (Romer, 2000), the paper finds that real depreciation raised real GDP during 1997.Q1-2005.Q3 whereas real appreciation increased real GDP during 2005.Q4-2017.Q2. In addition, a higher government debt-to-GDP ratio, a lower U.S. real federal funds rate, a higher real stock price, a lower real oil price or a lower expected inflation rate would help increase real GDP. Hence, real depreciation or real appreciation may increase or reduce aggregate output, depending upon the level of economic development. Although expansionary fiscal policy is effective in stimulating the economy, caution needs to be exercised as there may be a debt threshold beyond which a further increase in the debt-to-GDO ratio would hurt economic growth.

Global warming is hot issue to keep the earth everlastingly. Despite the increase of the world population and the energy demand, the world oil supply and the oil price are hold the steady state. If we are not decrease the world population and the energy consumption, unforeseeable energy crisis will come in the immediate future. AMT acronym of Advanced Materials for Transportation is a non-profitable IEA-affiliated organization to mitigate the oil consumption and the environment contamination for the transportation. In recent, Annex X Multi-materials Joining was added to enhance the car body weight reduction cause the high fuel efficiency and the low emission of exhaust gas. Multi-materials are the advanced materials application technology to optimize the weight, the performance and the cost with the combination of different materials such as Al-alloy, Mg- alloy, AHSS and CFRP. In this study, the trends of AMT strategy and Al-alloy based multi-materials joining technology were review. Also several technologies for Al-alloy dissimilar joining were investigated.

Terms of trade is an important indicator of the welfare gains from international trade to the exporting country. Terms of trade of oil-exporting countries are hypothesized to depend primarily on oil prices. The study assesses the relation between oil prices and the terms of trade of Saudi Arabia. The study uses the Autoregressive Distributed Lag method to determine the cointegration between the country's terms of trade and oil prices for the period 2000-2018. The data for net barter terms of trade is taken from World Development Indicators and oil price is taken from Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency. The results show that oil prices and terms of trade are cointegrated and any disequilibrium between the two variables is corrected by 35% in a year. The study also reports a positive relationship between the two items, both in the short run and long run. Diagnostic tests indicate the model to be fit. The results suggest that, for a primarily oil-producing country like Saudi Arabia, the terms of trade depend on oil prices. The study fills the gap in the literature on the study of terms of trade for Saudi Arabia for the last few years, where there has been a high volatility in oil prices.
