Finally, the causal relationships between the variables are examined using Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The results show that, under both tests, the time series variables are non-stationary at their levels and are stationary at their first differences. The Johansen’s cointegration test shows the existence of a long run equilibrium relationship among the variables. The results from the VECM indicate that there is a unidirectional causal relationship running from economic growth to import in India. This implies that with an increase in the income of the nation, the nation’s spending will increase, and some of the spending will be on import.","PeriodicalId":31914,"journal":{"name":"Dynamic Econometric Models","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43784909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Long-run relationship exists among import demand, relative price, exchange rate, and real GDP in economy. Due to increase in real GDP, import demand responds positively across economies. It responds in same direction in short-run in frontier and emerging economies with relative price unlike that of long-run in same economies. However, it responds in same direction with relative price in developed economy. It moves in opposite direction with respect to movement in exchange rate of frontier economy unlike that of developed economy. Next, the behavior of import demand in short-run due to change in exchange rate varies from that of long-run in emerging economy. This study will help to predict the dynamics of import due to change in income level, relative price, and exchange rate at national and international level.","PeriodicalId":31914,"journal":{"name":"Dynamic Econometric Models","volume":"19 1","pages":"5-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46830324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pivotal issue here is a regional heterogeneity of CPI inflation caused by demonetisation. A dynamic panel CPI model has been estimated in order to find out whether unequal accessibility of banking services determines the inflation heterogeneity. The findings suggest that financial services accessibility is not a significant inflation-driving factor. Hence a hypothesis about a redistribution of wealth between rural and urban areas with different access to banking might be rejected.","PeriodicalId":31914,"journal":{"name":"Dynamic Econometric Models","volume":"19 1","pages":"41-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43605935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the study tries to answer the questions whether energy consumption has any significance effect on economic growth of the country and it also determined the magnitude of the effect. In doing this, the study used an ARDL bound test approach to analyze Ethiopian data from 1970 to 2017 with real GDP as a function of energy consumption, human capital., physical capital., trade openness and policy change dummy. To do so, secondary data were obtained from WDI, UNCTAD stat and NBE. Co-integration test approves the existence of long-run relationship among the variables. Moreover, the estimation result reveals that, energy consumption found statistically insignificant in affecting economic growth in the long-run. However, it was positive and statistically significant in short-run. Likewise, the dummy variable incorporated to capture the policy change found insignificant in long-run and with positive significant result in short-run. Also, we applied the Granger causality test in linear multivariate models to evaluate how important is the causal impact of energy consumption on economic growth. The results give the evidence of causality running from economic growth to energy consumption supporting “conservation hypothesis”, implying that reducing energy consumption may be implemented with little or no adverse effect on economic growth. Hence, this study recommended the policy makers to improve the existing policies on energy consumption so as to enhance the level of efficiency in the energy sector i.e. energy regulation policies supporting the shift from lower-quality to higher-quality energy services.","PeriodicalId":31914,"journal":{"name":"Dynamic Econometric Models","volume":"19 1","pages":"57-85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41950149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper is an attempts to verify some specific seasonal effect called “the day of the week” on the precious metals market. The selection of this area is not accidental. Precious metals are an alternative to classic capital investments, especially in the case of financial and economic crises. In addition, the literature shows a gap in this area in terms of dynamics analysis on commodity markets, if compared to capital market. The analysis of day of the week effect was carried out taking into account both conditional mean and conditional variance.
