Answer to Question 1

During a recession the overall level of economic activity is contracting which also has the effect of lowering or slowing the demand for oil. Under these circumstances there would be great incentive for members of the cartel to lower prices. By contrast an economic boom is likely to keep the cartel stronger than ever since demand for its products are rising and member firms will find it easier to continue to abide by their cartel agreements.

Answer to Question 2

A
