The current financial and economic crisis is not du to the Dollar paradox. That's why the growing "Global Imbalances" remains an interesting issue. By mixing theories from the litterature of Foreign Direct Investment in China and the Collateral theory developped in [Dooley, Folkerts-Landau,...

In this paper we show that the Chilean exchange rate has the ability to predict the returns of the London Metal Exchange Index and of the six primary non-ferrous metals that are part of the index: aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin and zinc. The economic relationship hinges on the present-value...

This paper reviews the economic interventions by governments and central banks in response to the 2007-2009 financial and economic crisis. In the area of trade policy, we find that protectionism has increased substantially, with governments targeting in particular the products of declining...

In this study, the author demonstrates that the selection of an appropriate money-demand function is crucial to ascertain the relationship between fiscal deficits and inflation. To do so, the author incorporates a Selden-Latané money-demand function into a micro-founded extension of the model...

In this article, we use recently developed panel causality and cointegration techniques to examine the long-run relationship between inflation and economic growth of the 8 WAEMU countries. A panel of 256 observations was therefore constituted from the IMF (WDI) and BCEAO database. Our results...

This study investigates the effect of CBDC issuance on economic growth rate and inflation rate in Nigeria. We are interested in determining whether the rate of economic growth and inflation changed significantly after the issuance of a non-interest bearing CBDC in Nigeria. Two-stage least square...

This paper focuses on the uncertainty effect on consumer price inflation based on a panel of 82 advanced, emerging, and developing economies studied over a sample period running from 1995 to 2022. In contrast to the previous literature, we particularly control for the role of monetary policy...

Conventional empirical models of monetary policy transmission in emerging market economies produce puzzling results: monetary tightening often leads to an increase in prices (the price puzzle) and depreciation of the currency (the FX puzzle). We show that incorporating forward-looking...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to classifying inflation-targeting (IT) economies based on fractionally integrated processes. Motivated by the rising prevalence and diversity of IT strategies, we leverage variation in the persistence of inflation rate series to identify four de facto...
