Is the sharp drop in the oil price between June 2014 and January 2015 the result of a shift in Saudi Arabia’s oil policy? It is in the context of ‘second best’, trade-offs, imperfect information, internal constraints, and wide uncertainty introduced by a new source of supply, that this paper attempts to explain the behaviour of Saudi Arabia in the current price cycle.
