Abstract

The study uses a Markov autoregressive regime-switching model on monthly data from 2000Q1 to 2024Q2 for eleven SSA emerging countries, with implications for Nigeria.

    Okeke, Nwoha, & Duru (2024) found that inflation in Nigeria was considerably exacerbated by the upward variation in the Bent oil price.

    “Our finding of a significant positive connection between food inflation and the Bent oil price shock is additionally supported by the study carried out for Nigeria by Okeke, Nwoha, & Duru (2024), where it was econometrically verified that inflation in Nigeria was considerably exacerbated by the upward variation in the Bent oil price.”

      The Interpretation of Results (page unavailable) says an increase in oil prices decreased Nigeria’s inflation rate; the regression table reports a negative oil-price coefficient. It separately finds that greater oil-price volatility increased inflation, but that is not the claimed effect of an upward price movement. The paper’s own result therefore contradicts the attributed finding. (LLM, conf=0.88)

Self-check

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • The regime volatility labels are reversed

    Major

    The methodology identifies regime 1 as high-volatility and regime 2 as low-volatility. The results section assigns the opposite labels, changing the interpretation of the reported regime effects.

  • The food-interest interval excludes its positive estimate

    Major

    Table 14 reports a positive interest-rate-difference coefficient of 0.42156, while both endpoints of its 95% confidence interval are negative.

  • The food-depreciation interval excludes the positive estimate

    Major

    Table 14 gives a positive exchange-rate coefficient of 1.03649 but an entirely negative 95% confidence interval. That interval excludes the reported estimate and conflicts with the described positive effect.

  • Zimbabwe's reported depreciation effect is ten times its coefficient

    Major

    The discussion gives Zimbabwe's regime-1 depreciation effect as 3.1632%, while Table 9 reports 0.1632 for the current exchange-rate variable.

  • The conclusion gives a different study period

    Major

    The methodology says the data cover 2000Q1 through 2024Q2, whereas the conclusion says the estimation covers 1980 through 2023. These are materially different samples.

  • Nigeria's regime-2 oil effect does not match its table

    Major

    The discussion reports a regime-2 oil effect of 1.8052%, but the corresponding current-oil coefficient in Nigeria's regression table is 1.0052.

  • The sample is counted as both eleven and ten countries

    Minor

    The abstract describes an eleven-country study but later calls the panel a panel of ten nations. The methodology likewise lists eleven countries while calling them ten.

  • The fuel-interest interval excludes the positive estimate

    Minor

    The fuel-CPI table gives an interest-rate-difference coefficient of 0.07493, yet reports a wholly negative 95% confidence interval. The estimate and interval cannot both be correct.

  • The fuel-depreciation interval excludes the positive estimate

    Minor

    Table 15 reports a positive exchange-rate coefficient of 0.18526 and p = 0.003, but its 95% confidence interval is entirely negative. The reported estimate is outside that interval.

  • The fuel-depreciation significance claim reverses its p-value

    Minor

    The prose calls the fuel-CPI exchange-rate coefficient significant while writing p > 0.05. Table 15 instead gives p = 0.003, which is below 0.05.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-11.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-11.

Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
