摘要
This paper reexamines the issue of whether commodity prices provide useful information for formulating monetary policy through the application of a recent development in time series methodology developed by Toda and Yamamoto [J. Econometrics 66 (1995) 225-250]. We found that commodity prices signal the future direction of the economy. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
