This report considers the response of other oil importers to the United States' SPR policy. The treatment models the behavior of public stockpiles in other countries as endogenous. Simple theoretical and more complex simulation models are used to compare a cooperative stockpile drawdown policy (among oil importers) to one in which each country acts in its own self-interest. Finally, a specific agreement is proposed that attempts to capture the benefits from cooperation.
