  • The price of oil can rise because of a disruption to supply or an increase in demand. The nature of the price change determines the dynamic effects. As Kilian (2009) put it: "not all oil price shocks are alike." Using the latest available data, we extend Kilian's (2009) analysis using the R ecosystem and provide more evidence for Kilian's (2009) conclusions. Inference based on unknown conditional heteroskedasticity strengthens the conclusions. With the updated shocks, we assess how a local economy responds to the global oil market, an application that is relevant to policymakers concerned with the transition away from fossil fuels.
