Abstract: Gold prices in Indian market may be influenced by a multitude of factors such as investment decision, inflation hedge and consumption motives. Gold prices are modelled using a vector error correction model. We identify investment decision and inflation hedge as prime movers of the data. We also present out-of-sample forecasts of our model and the related properties.
