• Oil Prices, Monetary Policy, and Income Inequality:<br>The role of Education<br><br>Being one of the largest oil consumers globally, the United States’ economy is susceptible to sudden shifts and fluctuations in oil prices. More precisely, oil price fluctuations can significantly influence various economic factors, such as interest rates and income inequality. To manage the economy’s response to these oil-related fluctuations, central banks typically make adjustments to interest rates and employ other monetary policy measures to stabilize the economy. In this paper, we investigate how shocks in oil supply and subsequent monetary policy actions impact income distribution. Our particular focus lies in understanding the role of education in mitigating disparities in earnings resulting from oil price shocks and subsequent monetary interventions within a society. What makes our study unique is that it explores how different levels of education affect the distributional consequences of reactive monetary policy responses to oil price changes, a topic that has not been adequately explored in previous research.<br><br>*
