The study therefore concluded that inflation in Nigeria, during the studied period, was driven by the pass-through of … import prices to domestic prices via markup pricing by firms.

This paper implements recursive techniques to estimate the equilibrium level of M2 velocity and to forecast inflation …-time forecasts of inflation and evaluate the performance of the forecasts obtained from the alternative models. We find that while a … P* model assuming a constant equilibrium velocity does not provide accurate inflation forecasts in the 1990s, a model …
