Abstract

The main aim of our research is to utilize a structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) analysis to examine the effects of various shocks (oil price, exchange rate, money supply, and interest rate) on inflation and economic growth in selected Net Oil Exporter (NOE) and net-oil importing (NOI) countries.It also explores the implications of these shocks for efforts to reduce carbon emissions. The study finds that supply shocks, such as oil price fluctuations, significantly impact inflation and economic growth in most NOE and NOI countries. In contrast, demand shocks primarily affect inflation fluctuations and contribute to output fluctuations in the majority of these nations. Additionally, it is observed that in most NOE and NOI countries, except Morocco and Jordan, inflation rates respond positively and significantly to global oil price shocks, while GDP reacts negatively to positive exchange rate and pollution shocks. on the other hand, Domestic inflation reacts negatively to exchange rate shocks in NOE-4 and NOI countries. our research contributes to better understanding of the macroeconomic effects of external and internal shocks (oil price exchange rate, money supply, and interest rate) in NOE and NOI countries. Moreover, The research highlights the implications of these shocks for efforts to reduce carbon emissions in these countries, emphasizing the importance of understanding their macroeconomic effects.
