Measuring the Geographical Dispersion of World Petroleum Trade

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study proposes an approach to measure the changing geographical dispersion of world trade by using modified HirschmannHerfindahl index. We report the results for both imports and exports of world trade in three petroleum products. We argue that the world averages should be employed as a modification when assessing the geographical dispersion of an individual countrys petroleum trade. Finally, we apply the modification technique in the analysis of Chinese petroleum safety strategy.
