Modelling Asymetries Among Consumer Price Index, Currency Price, Gross Domestic Output and Aggregate Import Demand in an Emerging Economy: The Case of Nigeria
Abstract:This study investigates to determine whether the sensitivity of import demand to negative partial sum processes of consumer price index, currency price and national income merely mirror the elasticities corresponding to positive partial sums of these same determinants in Nigeria. The test of the recently developed nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model provided strong proof for asymmetry over the short- and long-run. From the long-run non-linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag estimates, import demand w… Show more
