Multiagent Model of Stabilizing of Petroleum Products Market

Leonid Galchinsky

2012

Abstract

The problem of developing of multi-agent models of stability in market prices of petroleum products is presented. The problem of price stabilization occurs due to external factors: the result of sudden changes of crude oil on world markets or exchange rate changes. In addition the market price dynamics is also influenced by internal factors such tacit collusion sellers. Shown the theoretical possibility to reduce of asymmetry in prices through the use stabilization fund of petroleum products, which the public body can use at the moment when there is a of price jump through the sale of petroleum products by stable prices.
