This paper investigates the relationship between expected inflation and nominal interest rates in Nigeria and the extent to which the Fisher effect hypothesis holds, for the period 1970-2009. The real interest rate is obtained by subtracting the expected inflation rate from the nominal interest...

This study investigates the causal dynamics between policy rate and inflation rates in BRIC-T countries by employing monthly data from the January 1993 to March 2012. The study benefits from the recent advance in the time series and carries out nonlinear cointegration, frequency domain test...
