It simulates scenarios to assess the macroeconomic effects of an oil supply shortage against a baseline scenario based on the IEA World Energy Outlook 2009. \\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ =====Key Insights===== The research examines the macroeconomic consequences of peak oil, assuming a decline in oil production and rising demand. It uses the GINFORS model to simulate scenarios, comparing a baseline with no shortage to scenarios with peak oil and peak oil with efficiency/renewable energy measures. The study finds that peak oil could lead to significant oil price increases, affecting economies differently based on their oil productivity and trade relationships. Oil-exporting countries benefit, while others face GDP losses. Efficiency improvements and renewable energy expansion can mitigate negative impacts. The analysis is based on if-then scenarios and highlights the importance of climate action programs. \\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ =====Additional Viewpoints===== Categories: {{tag>English_publication_language}} | {{tag>Global_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>economic_implications}} | {{tag>energy}} | {{tag>energy_demand}} | {{tag>energy_efficiency}} | {{tag>energy_supply}} | {{tag>ginfors_model}} | {{tag>global_economy}} | {{tag>global_interindustry_forecasting_system}} | {{tag>macroeconomic_effects}} | {{tag>macroeconomic_oil_prices}} | {{tag>oil_price}} | {{tag>oil_production_decreases}} | {{tag>oil_supply_shortages}} | {{tag>opec}} | {{tag>peak_oil}} | {{tag>renewable_energy}} | {{tag>russia}} | {{tag>scenario_analysis}} ~~DISCUSSION~~
