Oil Price Shocks and Inflation Dynamics in Nigeria: Sensitivity of Unit Root to Structural Breaks
Motivated by the prevalence of misleading inference in time series occasioned by failure to account for structural breaks in series as volatile as oil price in Nigerian specific studies, this study sought to find out whether structural breaks matter in studying the response of inflation to oil price shocks. The study employed Zivot-Andrews unit root test with structural break to compare the unit root result with the conventional ADF result while the local projection impulse response function (LPIRF) was used to determine the response of inflation dynamics to oil price shocks in Nigeria from 19…
