摘要: Abstract This study provides new supportive evidence for asymmetric adjustment in U.S. retail gasoline prices. The transmission is found to occur not just through the spot markets of crude oil and refinery but also their future markets. Further shows that observed asymmetry price primarily occurs downstream – upstream process.
