Climate anomalies affect agricultural production in different parts of the world and can impact price behavior of internationally traded commodities. This research examines the effect of a particular climate phenomenon, El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), on wheat prices from the major...

We examine the effect of inflation variability and economic growth using annual historical data on both developing and developed countries. The data cover 182 developing countries and 31 developed countries for the period 1961-2009. Proxying inflation variability by the five-year coefficient of...
