Sources of recent inflationary pressures and interlinkages between food and non-food prices in Ethiopia
This study investigates the main sources of recent inflationary pressures from 1999Q1 to 2019Q4 using linear and non-linear Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Models. It also examines the pass-through effects and causality between food and non-food prices using Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOL...
