Authors : Bentouir Naima . Bendob Ali .

Abstract

We aimed to sort-out an alternative ‎method to predict the Break-even oil ‎price using the benchmark model Black-‎Sholes. The investigation based on daily ‎oil prices data covering the period of ‎‎02/01/2013 to 21/09/2020. The main ‎results highlighted a significant and ‎strong correlation between the fiscal ‎breakeven prices based on the Black-‎Scholes model and the external ‎breakeven price, with a weak correlation ‎with the IMF’s fiscal breakeven prices, ‎which means that the Black-Scholes ‎model is outperforming to predict the ‎fiscal oil prices in comparison with the ‎IMF method. The findings also indicated ‎a negative correlation between the B-S ‎and the reference prices indicated in ‎Algeria's public budget.‎
