Conditional effects of local and global risk factors on the co-movements between economic growth and inflation: Insights into G8 economies.

World economies have experienced rise in uncertainties which has caused misalignments in the already existing nexus between inflation and economic growth. In addition to this, the presence of nonlinearities, asymmetry, heterogeneity, and structural shocks in time series data concerning substantial fluctuations that span systemic crises have rendered time and/or frequency connectedness worthy of investigation. Due to limited studies in this regard, the authors investigated the risk synchronisation among Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Consumer Price Index (CPI), Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) and Geopolitical Risk with insights from G8 countries.
