Abstract

Oil prices are regulated in virtually every developing country. Economists, oil businessmen, politicians, and bureaucrats usually have diverging views on the best price for petroleum products. Costs, government objectives, and political influences all affect energy price determination (see Figure 1).

Some sets of prices may be more efficient than others, some may be regarded as more equitable.
