The quotas are revised after looking at the current market conditions and the existing price and they are set after taking into consideration a specific target price band. OPEC expects its members to follow the assigned quotas. However this does not always happen. In fact during most of its history, total production levels have been greater then the total member quotas i.e. most or all OPEC members have been "cheating" on their quotas. Why do OPEC members cheat on their production quotas when the production quotas have, presumably, been set as to maximize OPEC profits? Are there some specific factors which affect a country's decision to over-produce? Is Saudi Arabia still using the tit-for-tat strategy as an enforcement mechanism to maintain cartel discipline? These are some of the questions that this thesis will address. The application of the economic theory of oligopolies to OPEC is reviewed. The analysis then proceeds to use regression analysis to examine possible influences on the percentage differences between actual output and quotas for 10 of the 11 OPEC members, using annual data from 1987 to 2001.

- ItemOpen AccessPetropolitics: Petroleum Development, Markets and Regulations, Alberta as an Illustrative History(University of Calgary Press, 2014) MacFadyen, Alan J.; Watkins, G. CampbellThe importance of energy to the functioning of any economy has meant that energy industries are amongst the most regulated of industries. What might appear to be purely private decisions are made within a complex and evolving web of government regulations. This book provides an economic history of the petroleum industry in Alberta as well as a detailed analysis of the operation of the markets for Alberta oil and natural gas, and the main governmental regulations (apart from environmental regulations) faced by the industry. The tools used within this study are applicable to oil and gas industries throughout the world.

W.; MacFadyen, Alan J.What can be inferred about a commuter's preferences over the physical tasks of walking, standing, and sitting using a hybrid of experimental and contingent valuation methodologies? This research addresses the question of whether there exists a valid and reliable dollar-measure of preference intensities for walking, standing, and sitting. Data was collected from over 100 participants; they participated in an experiment involving actual money tradeoffs and physical consequences (walking, standing, or sitting) for choices. The experiment is noteworthy for trying to distil a dollar-measure for preferences over tasks independent of the inherent time-costs associated with those tasks.
