The Effect Of Monetary Policy On Determination Of Coal Prices

1. What is inflation? Inflation is an increase in prices for goods and services (What is Inflation?).

To avoid spurious results, unit root tests using Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) (Dickey and Fuller, 1981) and Philips-Perron (PP) are performed to determine the time-series properties of the variables employed in the analysis. Two or more variables are said to be co-integrated when they exhibit long run equilibrium (relationship) if they share common trend(s).Therefore Auto-regressive distributed lag bounds approach (ARDL) is used to test it. The choice is based on several

The early to mid-eighties presented a challenge to the fed. A combination of falling oil prices and the Federal Reserve 's control of the money supply, helped to slow down an inflation that had been largely out of control in the previous decade. By the mid-eighties, the economy had bounced back and the United States was entering into one of the longest periods of consistent and sustainable economic growth since the second world war. Along with this growth, the annual inflation rate did not exceed 5%.

The fracking industry in its entirety, although surrounded by a shroud of controversy, is an economic stimulator that many do not acknowledge. The potential replacement of coal for efficient and clean energy would not be possible if it weren’t for the utilization of hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, and horizontal drilling. To consider fracking as only a danger to the environment would be an overstatement while saying fracking only provides natural gas and nothing else is an understatement. It’s important to consider all of the potential benefits that fracking gives to the economy and how its minor environmental destruction could lead to an economic reconstruction. Although fracking has a negative connotation with most people,

In this paper, we will be using the log-log model. The log-log model used for the demand for wealth (attuned for inflation). We will be using the M1, as a display, for demand on wealth and interest rate as the illuminating variable affecting the demand for wealth. Using the regression, we will study the hypothesis. For this paper, the hypothesis used will talk about the connection between money and the interest rate. The null hypothesis, in this case, will be the interest affecting the demand for money in the economy. The data that we will be reviewing is from October 2008 to October 2011, 3 years worth of data. This connection will give us the basic understanding of the performance of the monetary policy in US economy after the crisis.

In other words, Monetary policy can be looked at as a policy that is money-based that involves banks that manage liquidity to create the growth of money. This includes the use of checks, cash, and credit that are used in the money market as primary ways of investing money. The most important of these is credit would be one of the most important tools used in the market because it consist of loans that are written promises to pay money back. Within every policy that every nation has there will always be an objective at hand. The U.S. Federal Reserve, like many other banks around the world, has clearly stated targets for their goals. They look for a certain percent of people who want to work but cannot find a job and the find that the rate of

Also, this estimation allows the using of a lagged dependent variable to check whether there is a possible cointegration in the economic variables, with the possibility of one variable forecasting another (Campbell & Shiller, 1988). Including the lagged dependent variable can reduce the occurrence of autocorrelation arising

Additionally, I will also be testing for granger causality. In order to test for granger causality though we need to use variables which are stationary.

Considering the following regression model: BRi=β0++β1(Y)+β2(Z)+ui which connects the bank rate (BR) of Canada to foreign exchange rates(Y) and CPI(Z). In this model X1 and X2 are the corresponding independent variables exchange rates and CPI measured in decimals. There were three estimation methods that were used to estimate the model: The Durbin Watson test is used to test the presence of autocorrelation. The residual values from the regression analysis helps determine if there is a relationship between values that are lagged. The result of the Durbin Watson test lies between 0 and 4 and depending on the value it will show the presence or absence of autocorrelation. The value that is closer to 0 indicates that there is positive autocorrelation, 2 indicates that there is no autocorrelation and values approaching 4 indicate that there is negative autocorrelation. For the hypothesis testing I’ve used the F-Statistic testing, in the later section of the paper I will explain my findings and the results.

The commodity prices are on a declining trend in London Metal Exchange with iron ore losing more than 45%, Brent crude oil by 35% and exports of coal falling by 25% since mid-2014. Reducing commodity prices and excess capacity in global markets have remained significant influences on the relative performance of economies and their impact felt global.

The estimated slope coefficient (b) of the regression equation (Ln Y = a + b Ln X) measures the ____ change in Y for a one ____ change in X.

After the deepest recession in the world economy following the Global Financial Crisis, the whole economy operated under a loose monetary policy. The starter was the three-round quantitative easing announced by the US Federal Reserve, and then followed by the European Central Bank and the bank of England. Despite the QE, most central banks started reduction of interest rate. On Mar 3rd, the Reserve Bank of Australia announced a cut in the cash rate by 25 basis points to 1.75 per becoming the lowest cash rate in history. The purpose of this research essay is to analyze and discuss how such monetary policy will influence the Australia economy. The focus of my analysis will be divided into three areas, the impact on inflation

Table 4.1 presents the panel unit-root test results. There are two groups of hypotheses that are involved here. In the first four methods, the null hypothesis is: there is panel unit-root and the alternative hypothesis is: there is no panel unit-root and the decision

There has been a long standing controversy among the economist about the validity of PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) in the long run. The parity reveals that prices in two different economies should be identical to each other when they expressed in terms of the same currency. It is a central building block in the monetary models of exchange rate determination. One of the most common practices, to test the validity of PPP is through unit root test of real exchange rate. In this paper unit root test has been done based on the data on Bangladesh and its major trading partner India, to see whether exchange rate has unit root or not. It has been found out that the PPP holds i.e. real exchange is not trend stationary in the

The above table shows the result of Phillips-Perron test unit root test. It seen from the table that, the null hypothesis of unit roots is not rejected for both the variables i.e. inflation rate and unemployment rate. This indicates that both variables are not stationary at level. However, inflation rate and unemployment rate are found to stationary after first difference. Since the variables are stationary at first difference, they can be further tested for co-integration. We have used Johansen Co-integration Test to find the Co-integration.
