“…These abnormal increases in oil prices enticed researchers to quantify and assess the impact of rising oil prices not just on domestic prices and output, but also other macro variables. The list of studies that have assessed the impact of oil prices on domestic production and inflation includes: Gisser and Goodwin (1986), Lardic and Mignon (2008), Chen (2009), Arouri and Nguyen (2010), Aguiar-Contraria and Soares (2011), Kilian and Vigfusson (2011), Hamilton (2011), Miller andNi (2011), Serletis and Elder (2011), Herrera et al (2011), Engemann et al (2011), Valadkhani et al (2014, Aloui and Dakhlaoui (2015), and Valadkhani and Smyth (2017). The main consensus of these studies is that indeed, higher oil prices have contributed to rising prices and a declining domestic production in oil importing countries.…”
