>In practice, when countries ration their oil that's beyond the scope of the model.

Does your model assume that demand is constant regardless of price? We're already seeing a reduction in demand over the last several months.

There are two versions of the model: -The one rendered by default (called Endogenous), with endogenous price that affects the demands according to the price elasticity slider. Reflecting how reactive are the nodes demand wrt price -With fix price (called Fixed): that in the oil market doesn't apply, but it's an interesting baseline to consider oil purely as flow. And as a modeling tool, this allows the model to capture small supply chains that don't have price setting power.

Some global demand destruction is occurring, but that of China is them switching to large internal strategic reserves.
