The results show that there is a long-term equilibrium cointegration relationship between CPI and PPI. CPI has a certain impact on PPI. PPI also has a certain impact on CPI. PPI has a great impact on itself both in the long-term and short-term. The current CPI will be adversely affected by the previous CPI and the positive impact of the previous PPI. The current PPI will be positively affected by the previous phase of CPI and the previous phase of PPI. %K VEC Model %K Consumer Price Index %K Producer Price Index %K Impulse Response Function %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=91757
