- Abstract
- This thesis examines what drives import price inflation in the EU by decomposing it into supply and demand driven inflation. The decomposition is done by using product level import data retrieved from Eurostat. The paper examines the period from 2019-01 to 2023-01 which captures events such as the Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine. To classify the product as demand or supply driven, two methods are used, one static as well as one dynamic. The dynamic model sometimes show equivocal results due to its volatility, though it captures events such as the outbreak of the Covid-19. The static model indicates a negative demand-driven inflation during 2020 which then shifts to being to being the main component of the soaring import price inflation.... (More)
