| dc.description.abstract | This study examined the impact of imports on inflation in Namibia using quarterly data from
the period 1991Q1 to 2013Q4. The model estimated used imports as a dependent variable,
while gross domestic product, money supply (M2), lending rate, and exchange rate as the
explanatory variables. An error correction modelling approach was applied on the double log
functional form in order to investigate the significance and effect of explanatory variables to
inflation in Namibia. The results for the unit root test showed that all the variables were
stationary in first difference. The residual based test to cointegration revealed that there is
cointegration among the variables. The error correction model showed that imports have a
positive effect on inflation in the long run while in the short run the effect is insignificant. | en_US |
