The foreign exchange reserves of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) countries have decreased since the fall of world oil price that began in July 2014. In fact, five of the six of the CEMAC countries are oil producers. Based on interrupted time series modeling, the...

This study characterizes imported inflation in eight African countries through the effect of income and consumer prices index in OECD countries shocks, world price of oil shock and Federal funds effective rate shock on real exchange rate between 1970 and 2007, using a SVAR Model. We develop...

This study measures the effects of international income, price and monetary shocks on income in 13 African countries through the Foreign Aid channel between 1970 and 2007, using a SVAR Model. We develop theoretical and empirical models that characterize these exposures. The results confirm that...
