The inability of economists to correctly predict crude oil price and supply patterns during the Arab oil embargoes in the early-1970s raises questions concerning the probable behavior of crude oil price and supply patterns in the 2005-2007 period. Two questions are relevant. The first question requires an explanation of why price and supply patterns were not predicted with greater accuracy in the early-1970s. The second question involves the implications for the 2005-2007 period of the 1970s experience.
