Jonathan Stern: Is There A Rationale For The Continuing Link To Oil Product Prices In Continental European Long Term Gas Contracts? 2nd Edition

This will be a new and updated edition of the NG19 paper published in April 2007. The reason for the new edition is that having experienced first much higher, and then much lower, levels of oil prices since the first edition of the paper was published, the case for gas price linkage is much less easy to defend and much more controversial.
