摘要
本研究應用不對稱油價轉嫁方程式,探討亞洲四小龍經濟體(臺灣、韓國、香港、和新加坡)的 CPI七大基本分類物價遭逢正、負向油價衝擊之反應。實證模型考量通膨滯後項及國內、外總體控 制變數等,以利較精確地衡量油價衝擊之短期及長期效果。本研究發現油價變化確實對通膨存在不 對稱轉嫁,但多半卻是負向油價衝擊效果高於正向油價衝擊時。換言之,油價下跌可幫助抑制通 膨;然若在物價相對穩定下,油價下跌卻很可能使經濟體系面臨潛在通貨緊縮風險。而長期透過體 系傳遞機制及反應後,也將擴大油價對通膨的影響幅度。此外,油價對通膨之轉嫁程度亦和商品之 能源密集度有關。最後,香港及新加坡的食物類物價和油價上漲存在反向轉嫁關係,但臺灣則會因 油價下跌而推升食物類通膨。本研究結果突顯決策當局在面臨油價波動時,可彈性地依油價衝擊方 向及商品類別擬定干預措施,也許更能有效提高物價穩定政策的執行效率。

This study applied the asymmetric oil price pass-through equation to explore the response of the seven disaggregated consumer prices to positive and negative oil price shocks in Four Asian Dragons (Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore). Our empirical model considered the lags of inflation and domestic and foreign control variables to more accurately measure the short-run and long-run effects of oil price shocks. Empirical findings showed that oil price asymmetrically pass-through into inflation, but the effects of a negative oil price shock were greater than that of a positive oil price shock. In other words, decrease in oil prices can help curb inflation; however, if price levels are relatively stable, decrease in oil prices are likely to expose the economic system to potential deflation risks. In the long-run, the impacts of oil prices on inflation will also be expanded through the transmission mechanism and reaction of the economic system. In addition, the degrees of oil prices pass-through into inflation were also related to the energy intensity of the commodity. Finally, there were reverse pass-through effects on food prices and increases in oil price in Hong Kong and Singapore. In Taiwan, the decrease in oil price will push up food inflation. These results highlighted that when faced with oil price fluctuations, decision-making authorities can flexibly formulate intervention measures based on the direction of oil price shocks and commodity categories, which may more effectively improve the implementation efficiency of price stabilization policies.
