摘要:We examine the long run relationship between stock prices and goods prices to gauge whether stock market investment can
hedge against inflation. Data from sixteen OECD countries over the period 1970-2006 are used. We account for different
inflation regimes with the use of sub-sample regressions, whilst maintaining the power of tests in small sample sizes by
combining time-series data across our sample countries in a panel unit root and panel cointegration econometric
framework. The evidence supports a positive long-run relationship between goods prices and stock prices with the
estimated goods price coefficient being in line with the generalized Fisher hypothesis.
