Emmanuel Apergis and Nicholas Apergis

Applied Economics, 2017, vol. 49, issue 59, 5890-5894

Abstract: The article explores the role of a new determinant that accounts for driving consumer prices, i.e. rare earth prices. Rare earths are used for many advanced manufacturing and military technologies. Performing a number of panel methodological approaches, panel cointegration findings support the initial insight of the authors and illustrate a positive effect on consumer prices across all rare earths.
