We examine the impact of shipping costs on the euro area producer price index, accounting for both commodities that are shipped in bulk via the use of the Baltic Dry Index, and goods that are shipped in containerships via the use of the Containership Time Charter Index. The estimates, using a Vector Error Correction Model, suggest the existence of an economically meaningful impact from shipping freight rates to manufacturer producer prices, with the effect being more pronounced for containership freight rates (approximately 0.1% per 1% increase in freight rates).
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
