Overview and methodology
- Analysis period: 1992-2003.
- Data frequency: quarterly data.
- Model: bivariate model that includes consumer price and monetary variables.
- Econometric approach: cointegration and error-correction modeling; vector error correction and impulse response analysis.
Key empirical findings
- The empirical results confirm the existence of a long-run relationship between money supply and consumer prices.
- The pass-through from money to consumer prices has increased in recent years.
- Short-term dynamics accentuate the long-run impact of monetary changes on consumer prices.
- Impulse response analysis: a shock in the money stock will have an increasing impact over two years and will then stabilize at a higher level.
