The price of crude oil is one of the most important indicators of the global economy, which is monitored by policymakers, producers, consumers, and participants in financial markets. Oil prices are changing course depending on economic conditions, which is why it is so volatile. The knowledge of researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders about the impact of crises on the oil market provides better control over its negative consequences. Studies show that as a result of various crises, the Volatility Persistence of the oil market is very high. Therefore, it makes sense to consider the hypothesis of a unit root in the Volatility shocks of this market. In the present study, the long-term Volatility Persistence shocks due to the Covid-19 epidemic crisis in the Brent and WTI oil markets, which are the two criteria for determining global oil prices, are investigated using a test proposed by Lee and Yu (2010). The results of this study indicate the existence of a unit root in oil market turbulence. Therefore, the oil market and the economic climate are long-term affected by the effects of this crisis. This can have a significant impact on the revenues of exporting countries and investors in the crude oil sector. Thus, market players and governments need to assess the consequences of this crisis more carefully

Market power refers to the ability to affecting to the market. The firm has a pricing power in the monopoly market. One of the types of monopolies is the cartel. Two important features of behavior in form of the cartel are the impact on the amount of production and price. In terms of production, the cartel controls the production through coordination among the members, and in terms of impact on prices, it affects the price of the market by controlling production. In this study, to investigate the market power of OPEC, this issue will be discussed that whether OPEC acts as a cartel, or not? Therefore, to measure the market power of OPEC, The behavior and coordination of OPEC members’ production decisions are being studied. The research hypotheses are as follows, there is coordination in behavior and production decisions between the production of OPEC and the production of OPEC members, and total production of OPEC determines oil prices in the global oil markets. To prove the first hypothesis, used ARDL bounds testing approach of co-integration, and for the second hypothesis, used Toda-Yamamoto tests. The data used in this study includes the production of OPEC members, global oil prices (Brent, Dubai and WTI), in the period of 1994-2016, quarterly and monthly and 1980-2016, annual. The results indicates that there is no long-term relationship between the production of OPEC members and total production of OPEC, also causality from oil prices to OPEC production, also the direction of causality is from oil prices to OPEC production.
