To achieve this goal, OPEC attempts to coordinate and unify petroleum policies by raising or lowering its members’ collective oil production. However, increased production by the United States. Russia, Oman, Mexico, Norway, and other non-OPEC countries has placed downward pressure on the price of crude oil.

- Steel is produced only in the US and the rest of the world (ROW). The inverse demand and supply in the US are p = 110 - Q8 and p = 20 + Qỗ, while in the ROW, they are p = 70 - Q and p = Qk. All quantities are in millions of tons and all prices are in dollars per ton. Since steel is produced more cheaply in the ROW, the US imports it from the ROW under international trade. At any price, p, the imports of the US, QM. is the excess demand for steel given by the difference between the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied domestically in the US: QM = Q% - Qi. Similarly, the exports of the ROw, QF, is the excess supply of steel given by the difference between how much they produce and how much they demand: QE = Qk - Qg.
