More on the Energy/Non-Energy Commodity Price Link

This paper examines the energy/non-energy commodity price link, based on a reduced form econometric model and using annual data from 1960 to 2008. The transmission elasticity from energy to the non-energy index is estimated at 0.28. At a more...

The transmission elasticity from energy to the non-energy index is estimated at 0.28.
