What is the methodology?
Platts short-term olefins and polyolefins supply/demand and price forecasts are firstly derived by using a feedstock optimization model based on individual cracker flexibility and cash cost differentials. We then use an economic dispatch model to model non-economic behavior. By automating key steps in this process, we can quickly run scenarios and sensitivities.
