In this paper, the authors employ the Diebold and Yilmaz (Int J Forecast 28(1):57-66, 2012) spillover index to examine the spillovers across price inflation and agricultural commodity prices for the case of Nigeria.Abstract:
This article contributes to the existing empirical literature by examining the spillovers across price inflation and agricultural commodity prices for the case of Nigeria. To achieve this objective, we employ the Diebold and Yilmaz (Int J Forecast 28(1):57–66, 2012) spillover index. Subsequently, we examine the directional spillover, total spillover, and net spillover indexes. Further analysis to capture cyclical and secular movements was addressed with 40 months of subsamples via the rolling window analysis. Our empirical results, based on the monthly frequency data from January 2006 to July 2016 show that the total spillover effect was about 75%. This suggests a high interconnectedness of the selected agricultural commodity prices and inflation. Further empirical findings shows that inflation, sorghum, soybeans, and wheat were net receivers while cocoa, barley, groundnut, maize, rice were net givers. We find a negative net spillover for price inflation, implying a net positive spillover from commodity prices to price inflation. Based on these outcomes, several inherent policy implications for the government administrators, farmers, investors and all stakeholders abound. For instance, the need for government officials to insulate the agricultural market from externalities for optimum prices stability is pertinent.read more

Generalized Impulse Response Analysis in Linear Multivariate Models
H.Hashem Pesaran,Yongcheol Shin +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposed a generalized impulse response analysis for unrestricted vector autoregressive (VAR) and cointegrated VAR models, which does not require orthogonalization of shocks and is invariant to the ordering of the variables in the VAR.

Better to give than to receive: Predictive directional measurement of volatility spillovers
TL;DR: This paper used a generalized vector autoregressive framework to characterize daily volatility spillovers across US stock, bond, foreign exchange and commodities markets, from January 1999 to January 2010, and showed that despite significant volatility fluctuations in all four markets during the sample, cross-market volatility spillover were quite limited until the global financial crisis, which began in 2007.
