In this paper, we propose a transmission model of oil price shocks to Chinese price levels and explore the direct and indirect impacts of crude oil price shocks on various Chinese price indices, combining the Granger causality test, impulse response function, and network analysis method. The empirical data are the Brent, WTI, Dubai, and Daqing spot crude oil prices and eight categories of Chinese price indices from January 2011 to March 2020. We found the following results: (1) Consumer price index (CPI) and the price index for means of agricultural production (MAPPI) cannot be directly impacted by crude oil price fluctuations, while they could be indirectly affected. (2) The duration and degree of the impacts of oil prices on each price index vary, and the export price index (EPI) is the most significantly affected. (3) The proportion of the indirect impact in the total impact of crude oil price shocks ranges from 0.03% to 100.00%. Thus, indirect influence cannot be ignored when analyzing the influence of crude oil price fluctuation on Chinese price level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24070944","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,7]],"date-time":"2022-07-07T07:51:56Z","timestamp":1657180316000},"page":"944","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Revisiting the Dynamic Response of Chinese Price Level to Crude Oil Price Shocks Based on a Network Analysis Method"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Qingru","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics, Hebei University, Baoding 071002, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2764-5434","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ze","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Academic Center of Complex Systems, Beijing Normal University, Zhuhai 519087, China"},{"name":"School of Systems Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Nanfei","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of E-Business and Logistics, Beijing Technology and Business University, Beijing 100048, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"612","article-title":"Oil price volatility and economic growth: Evidence from advanced economies using more than a century\u2019s data","volume":"233","author":"Difeto","year":"2019","journal-title":"Appl.
