The rise of energy and raw material prices brought inflation in many countries. Some countries tried to analyze the influence on commodity prices and the price index caused by the rise of energy or raw material prices. The purpose of this paper is to build an inter-regional input-output price model and to explain the price transmission caused by the rise of imported energy and raw material prices. Based on theory and simulation, the results show that the effect of a rise in international energy prices can be decomposed into direct and indirect effects. The impacts under an inter-regional input-output price model are greater than those under a single-country model. The difference of impacts in the two models is mainly caused by the feedback effect. The indirect effectwas generally affected by the ratio of the imported intermediate goods to the total intermediate goods needed in production. The higher the ratio is, the bigger is the feedback effect. The policy implications of these empirical results are that the price impacts can be reduced by improving production structure, diversifying sources of imports, and price control in the public sector. |
