Asymmetric and nonlinear pass-through of global crude oil price to China’s PPI and CPI inflation

Journal Title: Economic Research-Ekonomska Istraživanja - Year 2018, Vol 31, Issue 1

Abstract

With China’s expanding import demand of crude oil and the gradually relaxing regulation of domestic oil prices, the global oil price is likely to affect China’s price level more closely. Based on an augmented Phillips curve framework, this article employs both the autoregressive distribution lag (ARDL) and nonlinear and asymmetric autoregressive distribution lag (NARDL) model to investigate pass-through effects of crude oil price on China’s producer prices index (PPI) and consumer prices index (CPI) in China. It is found that the impact of global oil price fluctuations to China’s PPI and CPI are asymmetrical in the longrun, and the long-term impacts of the rise in global oil prices on PPI and CPI are greater than the global oil price decline on PPI and CPI. However, the symmetric ARDL model fails to diagnose the impact of oil price to China’s PPI and CPI. Therefore, it is necessary to consider asymmetric relationship in the study of global oil price’s influence on China’s domestic prices.
