The Long-Run Effects of Temporary Oil Supply Disruptions: Evidence for Hysteresis in European Countries

Abstract

This paper provides evidence that supply-driven oil price increases depress GDP for more than a decade after oil prices have returned to their pre-shock level. These hysteresis effects are driven by two channels: a contraction in investment, and a steady decline in labour force participation. In contrast, oil price decreases do not produce sustained economic gains, indicating asymmetric effects. A comparison with aggregate demand shocks suggests that hysteresis arises through common underlying mechanisms.
