1. INTRODUCTION

Economists have long been engrossed in empirical evidence that suggests oil price shocks may be closely related to macroeconomic performance. The interest in this topic originates back to the early 1970s and its theory has been shaped by the economic experience of the 1970s and early 1980s. Moreover, 1970s was an era of increasing dependence on imported oil, unprecedented disruptions in the global oil market and poor macroeconomic performance in the United States. Thus, it was plausible to suspect a causal relationship between oil prices and U.S. macroeconomic aggregates.

In view of the above foregoing arguments however, there is no conviction that exogenous oil supply is to be blamed for the economic malaise of the 1970s. On the basis of such scenario, it can be predicted that history might repeat itself. However, while the experience of the 1970s continues to play a major role in the discussions linking oil and macroeconomy, there have been a number of new “oil price shocks” since the 1970s. For example, the 1986 collapse of oil prices, the 2000 boom, and the oil price increases following the 1990-1991 Gulf war and the 2003 Iraq war. All the above shocks were accompanied by

periods of excessive inflation, reduced productivity and lower economic growth. Therefore, it is even more vital to comprehend the underlying complications related to previous “oil shock” episodes and its corresponding effect on macroeconomic aggregates such as inflation rate and real growth rate.

There is a lot of empirical literature in this field where some consider the price shocks as the main reason while others consider production shocks. Bruno and Sachs (1985) were one of the first to analyse in depth the effects of the 1970s oil prices on output and inflation in major industrialised countries and explored the roles of monetary policy and wage setting. Hamilton (1983, 1996) showed that most US recessions were caused by an increase in the oil price. Many other researchers such as Mork (1989), Davis & Haltiwanger (2001), Muellbauer & Nunziata (2001) and Balke, Brown, & Yucel (2002) have reported a correlation between the increase in oil prices and subsequent economic downturns. While most of the studies focused on the US economy, there were also some other studies that looked at the rest of the world. Cunado & de Gracia (2003) looked at evidence in European countries, while Bohi (1989) compared the inflation and real output experiences of Japan, Germany, the UK and the US during the oil supply shocks of the 1970s.

Some other researchers such as Kilian (2006, 2009) assessed systematically the differences as well as similarities in the responses of G7 economies to exogenous oil supply shocks. The author exploited oil supply shocks that were exogenous with respect to global macroeconomic conditions.

On the other hand, some other authors are of the view that the stagflation of the 1970s was largely due to factors such as monetary policy. Barsky & Kilian (2002) argued that they may have been partly caused by exogenous changes in the monetary policy, which coincided with the rise in oil prices. Bernanke, Gertler, & Watson (1997) discussed that the main factor for the decline in GDP and employment was due to the rise in interest rates, as a result of the Federal’s endogenous response to the higher inflation induced by the oil shocks.

In this study, we used the Kilian (2006, 2009) methodology to investigate the effect of exogenous oil supply disruptions on five major ASEAN countries comprising of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. We wanted to identify the common patterns in the response of macroeconomic aggregates to exogenous oil supply disruptions Which ASEAN economies were the most invulnerable to exogenous oil supply shocks and which have been affected the most? How does real GDP growth respond? How long does it take for the responses to set in? Are there any systematic differences between the five countries that produce oil and those that do not? Do exogenous oil supply shocks generate sustained inflation? Are exogenous oil production shortfalls stagflationary? To what extent can the poor macroeconomic performance of five ASEAN countries during specific historical episodes be attributed to exogenous shocks in oil production?

In a section of this paper, the two different available methods to measure the effects of oil shocks will be discussed. In the section on data, we introduce the structure of the required data for each of the variables. Then we propose two linear regression models, one as a base model and the other as an alternative model to estimate the relationship between exogenous oil supply fluctuations and real growth rate and inflation rate in each of the countries. Finally, the results and conclusion are presented.

2. IDENTIFYING THE EFFECTS OF EXOGENOUS OIL SUPPLY DISRUPTIONS

2.1 Oil Price-Based Measures

Early studies sometimes treated the price of oil (or positive changes in the price) as the measure of exogenous oil supply disruption. Rotemberg & Woodford (1996), Barsky & Kilian (2002) and Hamilton (2003) proved that at least since 1973, the price of oil has been endogenous to global macroeconomic conditions and cannot be treated as exogenous. Although three of the largest oil price increases since the early 1970s occurred near periods of large exogenous shocks to oil production, not all exogenous oil supply shocks have been associated with net oil price increases. In addition, it is commonly known that net oil price increases may arise even in the absence of exogenous political events in the Middle East as a result of strong demand for industrial commodities at large. Thus, net oil price increases are not an appropriate measure of exogenous oil supply shocks.

2.2. Oil Production-Based Measures

There are other measures of exogenous oil supply shocks that can be identified using information on observable changes in the production levels of oil-producing countries that are subject to exogenous political shocks. For example, according to Hamilton (2003), the difference in production levels over the period in question is expressed as a share of the average world oil production in the year, in which the exogenous event started. The resulting “production shortfall” is treated as a measure of the magnitude of the shock that occurred in the first quarter of the exogenous event. An alternative measure of exogenous oil supply shocks proposed by Kilian (2006) is based on crude oil production data for OPEC countries and non-OPEC countries that are available from the U.S. Department of Energy. This measure is based on the observation that any attempt to identify the timing and magnitude of exogenous production shortfalls requires explicit assumptions about the counterfactual path of crude oil production in the absence of the exogenous event. Using suitable assumptions about the counterfactual path of oil production based on the evolution of oil production in other oil-producing countries, the exogenous production shortfall is constructed as the difference between the actual path of crude oil production and the counterfactual path. The change over time in this exogenous production shortfall series (aggregated across OPEC countries and expressed as a percent share of world oil production) provides a natural measure of the exogenous oil supply shock. The analysis in this paper utilised the baseline time series of exogenous oil supply shocks developed by Kilian (2006).

3. DATA

3.1. Exogenous Oil Production Shocks

Table 1 shows a list of key dates in oil production.Table 1. Key dates in oil productionDate Political eventOctober 1973 Yom-Kippur war, Arab oil embargoOctober 1978 Iranian RevolutionSeptember 1980 Iran-Iraq WarAugust 1990 Persian Gulf WarDecember 2002 Civil unrest in VenezuelaMarch 2003 Iraq War

The measure of exogenous oil supply shocks used in this empirical analysis is based on monthly crude oil production data by country provided by the U.S. Department of Energy. The approach can be summarised as follows: Any attempt to identify the timing and magnitude of an exogenous production shortfall requires explicit assumptions about the counterfactual path of oil production in the absence of the exogenous event in question.

For a given exogenous event, say a war in some OPEC country, the first step is to identify a group of oil-producing countries that is subject to the same global macroeconomic conditions and same economic incentives as the war-stricken country but whose production is not affected by the war. The countries that belong in this benchmarked group must be decided on a case by case basis drawing on historical accounts and industry sources. The counterfactual production level for the country affected by the war is generated by extrapolating its pre-war production level based on the average growth rate of production in the benchmarked countries.

Table 2 illustrates the assumptions about the benchmarked countries used in constructing the counterfactual.

In the second step, the exogenous production shortfall for each OPEC country is obtained by constructing the difference between actual crude oil production in that country and the counterfactual crude oil production at each point in time, resulting in a time series for each of the nine OPEC countries which represents that country’s exogenous shortfall of crude oil production (Table 2). The aggregate measure of the exogenous crude oil production shortfall for the whole of OPEC is obtained by summing these time series. Finally, the exogenous OPEC oil supply shock is constructed by normalising that aggregate shortfall series as a percent of world crude oil production and taking the first differences. This approach amounts to treating the exogenous OPEC production shortfall series as a random walk and is consistent with the lack of serial correlation in the differences.

Figure 1 shows the exogenous OPEC oil supply shock series derived on the basis of Table 2 and suitably aggregated to a quarterly frequency. The major oil dates have been imposed in Figure 1 as vertical lines. As expected, the most important spikes in the series occur near those dates. Unlike existing quantitative dummy measures of exogenous oil supply shocks, the series in Figure 1 contains negative as well as positive shocks. This feature is essential as many historical production shortfalls triggered by exogenous events have been at least partially reversed. Thus the corresponding change in the exogenous production shortfall should be characterised by an initial negative spike followed by one or more subsequent positive spikes. Only if the exogenous OPEC production shortfall was permanent, would there be no positive realisations of the oil supply shock measure. As Figure 1 shows, virtually all exogenous shortfalls were followed by at least a partial reversal. The positive values of the oil shock measure also reflect the fact that wars in the Middle East may actually cause higher oil production over time, when the parties involved resort to oil exports to finance the war. Another key difference is that this new measure allows for repeated exogenous oil supply shocks of the same sign. A good example is the period following the Persian Gulf War.

3.2. Real GDP and CPI Inflation

The regression analysis is based on seasonally adjusted quarterly real GDP growth and CPI inflation rates for January 1971-June 2008. The CPI data and the GDP data for Philippines were obtained from the IFS website. The Singapore GDP data were sourced from Singapore Statistics, and Malaysia GDP data from Treasury Malaysia. For Indonesia and Thailand, we used World Bank data.

4. METHODOLOGY

4.1. Base Linear Regression Model

Given a production-based measure of the exogenous oil supply shock, there are two alternative approaches to quantifying the dynamic effects of exogenous fluctuations in oil production on macroeconomic aggregates. The first approach (Hamilton, 2003) is to use lags in the exogenous oil supply shock to identify regressions that relate the macroeconomic aggregate of interest to past oil price changes and past values of macroeconomic aggregates. Let xt denote the date t observation of the exogenous oil supply shock series, Δyt. the corresponding percent growth rate in real GDP and pt , the percent change in the consumer price index. The objects of interest are the impulse responses δΔyt +i /δxt and δpt +i /δxt, i =1, 2, 3,… For each country, the first-order effect of a given increase in xt on Δyt +i and pt +i , respectively, may be computed based on the fitted value of the linear ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions:

4 8

Δyt = ∝ +∑ βi Δyt – i +∑ γj

xt – j+ ut (1) i =1 j = 0

4 8

pt = δ +∑ λi pt – i +∑ hj

xt – j+ vt (2) i =1 j = 0

where the error terms ut and vt are serially uncorrelated, given the inclusion of four lags of the dependent variable and eight lags of the exogenous oil supply shock. Provided that the exogenous oil supply shock regressors are not correlated with any omitted exogenous variables, the implied impulse responses will measure the causal effects of the exogenous variations in oil supply.

The estimated responses provide a measure of the expected response of macroeconomic aggregates to exogenous oil production shortfalls based on historical data. They represent consistent estimates of the causal effects of a unit change in the exogenous oil supply shock measure.

4.1.1 Testing the Specification of the Baseline ModelIn models (1) and (2), we first need to prove that the oil production shock is pre-

determined. Consider the following models:

The Effect of Exogenous Oil Supply Shocks on Major ASEAN CountriesAmir Ranjbar and Saeed Pahlevan Sharif

Taylor’s Business Review, Vol. 4 Issue 1, February 2014 61

xt = θz t +∑ a1i xt – i +∑ β1j

zt – j+ e1t (3) i j

z t = gxt +∑ a2i xt – i +∑ β2j

zt – j+ e2t (4) i j

Equations (3) and (4) are representatives of a bidirectional relationship. Equation (3) shows the effect of growth rate in real GDP or Consumer Price Index on oil production shocks while equation (4) shows the reverse effect. We say that xt is pre-determined if θ = 0. If β1j=0 ∀j. Under strict exogeneity, there is no current or lagging feedback from z t to xt , and we can consistently estimate the effect of a change in xt on z t based on equation (4) alone. The equations (1) and (2) above are specific examples of equation (4).

A central proposition of this paper is that xt is strictly exogenous as described in section 2. Strict exogeneity involves two conditions: (1) Pre-determinedness of the oil supply shock series and (2) Granger non-causality from macroeconomic aggregates to the oil supply shock series. While the second condition is testable, the first one is not. Table 3 reports asymptotic p-values for the same type of Granger non-causality tests applied to xt.

Table 3. p-Values of Granger Non-Causality TestsH0: β1j=0 ∀j

Lagged Real GDP Growth Lagged CPI Inflation

Indonesia 0.528 0.911Malaysia 0.899 0.737Philippines 0.434 0.561Singapore 0.960 0.159Thailand 0.246 0.325

Table 3 shows that the null of no Granger causality cannot be rejected at the 5% level for any country. The p-values range from 24% to 96% in lagged real GDP growth and they range from 16% to 91% in lagged CPI inflation. These test results suggest that the data are consistent with the absence of feedback from inflation and real growth to the oil shock series, as required by strict exogeneity.

Equation (4) in general allows for a contemporaneous effect from xt on z t . Table 4 formally tests the null that g = 0 in equation (4). There is no evidence of a contemporaneous link from the exogenous oil supply shock to CPI inflation. No test result is significant at the 5% level. The p-values range from 5.3% to 93.4%, depending on the country. For real GDP growth, p-values generally range from 5.3% to 52%, except for Indonesia and Philippines, suggesting that the contemporaneous regressor may be safely omitted from equations (1) and (2). It seems implausible that a contemporaneous link would exist only for two countries and not for any other country. In the baseline results reported below, we therefore impose g = 0 for all regressions.

4.2. Alternative Linear Regression Model

Kilian (2006) proposed an alternative regression approach that will form the basis of the analysis in this paper. This alternative approach follows the convention in the literature of treating changes to oil production induced by political events such as wars or revolutions in the Middle East as exogenous with respect to macroeconomic aggregates. Specifically, it treats the oil supply shock series as strictly exogenous in the sense that there is no feedback from current or lagging values of the dependent variable to the exogenous variable.

12

Δyt = ∝ +∑ fi xt – j + ut (5)

i =1

12

pt = δ +∑ yi xt – j + vt (6) i =1

That model shares with the baseline model the assumption that xt is predetermined. It differs from the baseline model in that it does not impose the Granger non-causality restriction. Equation (5) also relaxes the assumption that the data are well approximated by a linear VAR representation. Thus, it is of some interest to compare the response estimates from the alternative regression models (5) and (6) to the estimates from the more tightly parameterised baseline models (1) and (2). As in the baseline model, there is no instantaneous feedback from t and x to inflation and real growth.

5 RESULTS

5.1 Real Growth and Inflation Responses in the Baseline Model

Using the estimates of models (1) and (2), assessing the impact of an exogenous 1% reduction in global oil production by simulation became more straightforward. The dynamic responses to an exogenous 1% permanent reduction in crude oil production are shown in Table 5 along with the corresponding response levels of real GDP and CPI.

Taylor’s Business Review, Vol. 4 Issue 1, February 2014 63

5.1.1 IndonesiaIn Indonesia, the exogenous oil supply shocks showed its negative effect on real GDP rate exactly one quarter after the event and no effect thereafter. This effect took place sooner in comparison with other countries. Also, the shocks had a positive effect on inflation only after one quarter.

5.1.2 MalaysiaFor Malaysia, the real GDP growth had two different reactions. On one hand, we saw a significant negative effect in the second quarter after the shocks. On the other hand, the fifth and sixth quarters showed a significant positive reaction to the shocks. Similar to Indonesia, we observed a significant increase in the inflation rate after one quarter.

5.1.3 PhilippinesIn Philippines, we only observed a significant decrease in real GDP growth after eight quarters, and surprisingly, there were significant increases in four to six quarters after the shock period. Also, in contrast to all the other countries, not only the shocks did not cause any increase in the inflation rate, but there was a decrease after one quarter. The observations revealed completely different reactions in Philippines.

5.1.4 SingaporeIn Singapore, a significant negative effect of exogenous oil shocks on real GDP growth was observed at the fourth quarter after the shock and the inflation rate had a significant increase after the sixth quarter.

5.1.5 ThailandIn Thailand, we observed two different reactions. On one hand, there were significant drops at 5% level in the second and seventh quarters after the shocks, while on the other hand, the real GDP growth had significant increases in the fourth and fifth quarters.

5.1.6 Quantifying the Stagflationary Effects in the Baseline ModelA popular notion is that exogenous oil supply shocks can be held responsible for triggering stagflation, defined as the simultaneous event of rising price levels and falling output. Figure 2 provides a formal assessment of this proposition based on the conditional co-movement measure proposed by Den Haan (2000). In Figure 2, this measure was applied to the responses of CPI inflation and real GDP growth to an exogenous oil supply disruption. Following Den Haan and Summer (2004), the plot shows conditional covariances rather than conditional correlations. This normalisation facilitates a comparison of the statistics across horizons. The conditional covariance at horizon, h, is constructed as

imp impc(h) =

Δyh ph (7) imp where z h denotes the response of variable zt at horizon h to a 1% exogenous oil supply disruption. Stagflation in the form of rising prices and falling output will cause this measure to be negative.

5.2 Real Growth and Inflation Responses in the Alternative Model

Given estimates of models (5) and (6), it was straightforward to assess the impact of an exogenous 1% reduction in global oil production by simulation. The dynamic responses to an exogenous 1% permanent reduction in crude oil production are shown in Table 6 along with the corresponding responses of the real GDP and CPI levels.

5.2.1 IndonesiaIn the case of Indonesia, the alternative model showed the same effect as baseline model for real GDP growth. We observed a decrease in real GDP growth after one quarter. However, in contrast with the baseline model, we did not observe any significant CPI inflation in any quarter.

5.2.2 MalaysiaFor Malaysia, the alternative model showed a significant decrease in real GDP growth in the second quarter after the shocks. This finding was in accordance with the baseline model. However, unlike the baseline model in which the fifth and sixth quarters showed a significant positive reaction to the shocks, in the alternative model, we did not observe such a relationship. Similar to the baseline model, we observed a significant increase in the inflation rate after one quarter. Also, the alternative model showed a significant decrease in the inflation rate in the ninth quarter.

5.2.3 PhilippinesFor Philippines, we only observed a significant decrease in real GDP growth after eight quarters, exactly the same as the baseline model; and surprisingly, there were significant increases in four to six quarters after the shock periods. We observed a decrease in the inflation rate after one quarter, again the same as baseline model. So the results of the two models were the same for Philippines.

5.2.4 SingaporeThe results of the alternative model were completely different in the Singapore case. For example, in the baseline model, we observed a significant negative effect of exogenous oil shocks on real GDP growth in the fourth quarter whereas in the alternative model, we have it in the tenth quarter and in contrast, we observed increases in real GDP growth in one and nine quarters after the shocks. Also, the inflation rate had a significant decrease in the third and fourth quarters.

5.2.5 ThailandIn Thailand, we observed two different reactions. On one hand, there were significant drops at 5% in first, second, third and eighth quarters after shocks, while on the other hand, the real GDP growth had significant increases in the fifth and sixth quarters.

Table 6 shows the response estimates obtained from the alternative model in equations (5) and (6).

5.3 Model Selection Results

The evidence in Table 5 and Table 6 suggest that there are some differences in the results for real GDP growth and inflation rate; therefore, the need to compare formally the fit of these two models. Given that both of our models contain exactly the same number of parameters, their ranking by the prediction mean squared error is identical to the ranking according to any information criterion.

Real GDP Growth CPI Inflation Baseline Alternative Baseline AlternativeIndonesia 2.997 2.953 10.423 10.219Malaysia 10.835 10.869 0.918 0.622Philippines 3.512 3.538 2.686 6.126Singapore 6.872 6.250 1.664 0.931Thailand 2.632 2.610 1.965 1.351

Table 7 shows that for real GDP growth, neither model fits the data better for all countries. Since the empirical results for real GDP growth are very similar in any case, this means that for real GDP growth, we can focus on the alternative model without loss of generality.

In sharp contrast, for CPI inflation, the alternative model fits the data better than the baseline model for four countries. The improvement in fit can be substantial. Thus, based on the differences in the results for CPI inflation, the formal model selection criteria in Table 7 established conclusively that the baseline regression which imposes additional structure on the data has more statistical support. The next section will focus on the results from the baseline regression.

5.4 Comparing the Effects of Exogenous Oil Supply Shocks Across Countries and Time

Figures 4 and 5 characterise the aftermath of each of the exogenous events shown in Table 2. Each column refers to a different exogenous event, starting with the 1973/74 oil shock and ending with the oil crises of 2002/2003. The first line for each country and episode shows average real GDP growth and average CPI inflation rates. All rates have been normalised relative to their respective averages for the period January 1971-June 2008 such that a negative value corresponds to below average rates. The second line shows the average effect on real GDP growth and CPI inflation caused by exogenous oil supply shocks over the same sub-periods. All rates have been annualised. The corresponding time series plots are shown in Figures 4 and 5.

6. CONCLUSION

This study estimated and compared the effects of exogenous shocks in global oil production on inflation and real output in major ASEAN countries. This comparison suggests a fair degree of similarity in the real growth responses in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand which show a rapid reaction to the shocks, while this reaction is more slower in Singapore and Thailand. With regard to inflation, the reactions were also different. While Malaysia and Indonesia had quick significant increases in Consumer Price Index after one or two quarters, Singapore only experienced the same reaction after six quarters. In contrast, Thailand did not show any significant reaction to its inflation rate while surprisingly, the Consumer Price Index showed a decrease in Philippines.
