Oil prices in Euros [UPDATED] | 14 comments (14 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

I noticed that I still had "futures" in the diagram titles - diagrams now replaced with corrected titles.

DM vs ECU (none / 1)

So which of the two did you use for the above graphs? And which one should be used? After all, the euro is more the successor of the DM than of the ECU...

Re: DM vs ECU (none / 1)

I used the ECU, as stated below the fold. For an economic area comparison, I'd consider it more an origin of the Euro than the DM.

But I will generate €(DEM) oil price graphs too, as well as the trends since 2004 for kcurie, after I finished the diary I am now writing.

Re: DM vs ECU (none / 1)

The one benefit of using the DEM is that I will be able to generate CPI-corrected diagrams, too.

Re: DM vs ECU (none / 1)

Now done. It's interesting how stable inflation-corrected oil prices were for est Germany in the first half of the eighties, in the €60-80 band most of the time. We're still a long way from exceeding those peaks.

Re: DM vs ECU (none / 1)

I now replaced the 1978-2007 diagram with an 1971-2007 diagram that has both the values with ECU pegging and those with DEM pegging. I will do the inflation-corrected graphs (only those deflated with CPI, unless you have a good set of data for both DEM and $ for better deflators) later today.
