Abstract

We address the transmission of commodity price shocks and assess how source- specific shocks spillover to other exporting countries. Applying a multi-country panel VAR, we show that in a model that allows for cross-country interdependencies source- specific shocks have both direct and spillover effects. The results indicate that these spillover effects are an important feature of commodity price transmission. Accounting for these spillover effects has important implications for understanding commodity price dynamics and the management of price shocks in both exporting and importing countries.
