OPEQ Small Screenshot Wharton's oil pricing simulation OPEQ is used in negotiations courses to teach issues involving shared resources and incomplete information. It provides an experience-based learning tool that demonstrates principles of individual versus overall profit levels and the behavior of competitors in a closed market.

Students participating in OPEQ assume the role of an oil-producing country and set production levels in a competitive environment with little or no knowledge of their competitor's intentions.
