=====Methods=====
The research employs the Global Interindustry Forecasting System (GINFORS), a sectorally disaggregated global energy-environment-economy model that combines econometric-statistical analysis with input-output analysis. 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. \\

=====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. \\
