Time Var iation in the Inflation Passthrough of Energy Pr ices
نویسندگان
چکیده
From Bayesian estimates of a vector autoregression (VAR) which allows for both coefficient drift and stochastic volatility, we obtain the following three results. First, beginning in approximately 1975, the responsiveness of core inflation to changes in energy prices in the United States fell rapidly and remains muted. Second, this decline in the passthrough of energy inflation to core prices has been sustained through a recent period of markedly higher volatility of shocks to energy inflation. Finally, reduced energy inflation passthrough has persisted in the face of monetary policy which quickly became less responsive to energy inflation starting around 1985.

The Impact of Shocks in Oil price and Exchange Rate on Inflation in Iran: The Application of the VAR Approach
Iran is one of the oil exporting countries, so the oil price plays a remarkable role in the government budget and is a major source of foreign exchange. On the other hand, the reliance of the government budget to oil income as well as its fluctuations is a fact referred to as the most important cause of inflation by many researchers. This paper explores the effect of shocks in the exchange rate...

متن کاملDynamic Relationship between Inflation Uncertainty and Private Investment in Iran: An Application of VAR-GARCH-M Model
This paper empirically investigates the relationship between CPI inflation uncertainty, and private investment in the Iranian economy from 1988 to 2010 by using quarterly data. We employ a bivariate VAR(5)-GARCH(1,1)-in-mean with diagonal BEKK model to discover in a unified framework how are the interactions between the variables. In the model, conditional variance of inflation and private inve...

Iran has suffered from high and fluctuating rates of inflation within the last decades. This paper tries to empirically analyze inflation in Iran and find its main factors through Cointegration approach and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) during the last two decades. The findings of the research indicate that monetary variables are the most important factors in explaining inflectional proc...
متن کاملThe imported price, inflation and exchange rate pass-through in China
This paper considers the effect of exchange rate (ER) level on China’s domestic prices during the period of 2003–2012. We examine China’s consumer price index (CPI), import price index (IPI) and producer price index (PPI) by using time series vector error correction analysis. The main finding of the paper is that ER passthrough has had a limited but growing effect on domestic prices and will co...
