Future sustainable economic development depends heavily on public policy at regional, national, and global levels. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct a thorough policy analysis that ensures consistent and effective policy guidance. However, a major challenge in traditional policy analysis is...

None of the known macroeconomic theories are adequate to understand what to do in a global crisis like the 2020 Global Pandemic. Rational Expectations and monetarism cannot even ex-plain how is that a global crisis like this happens. The IS-LM model was designed to manage business cycles, but...

The aim of this note is to raise some doubts about the opportunity to abandon the economic policy strategies that support aggregate demand because it is a prerequisite to realize the credibility of the new currency- the Euro. Prevailing literature states that, in the choice between inflation and...

This papper proposes a comparison of EMU's different fisca rules, i.e. the stability and growth Pact, the structural deficit rule and the golden rule. From comparing the economic stabilizing effects and their consistency with the monetaty policy, it concludes that the Pact is better in the case...

This paper studies coordination of Fiscal policies in a monetary union in terms of sta- bilization performance. We use a static model of closed monetary union and numerical simulations in which macroeconomic heterogeneities are introduced. Results show that the coordination is an e¢ cient tool...

In this paper, using monetary policy rules, we build a model which describes the fixing of the interest rate by the Bank of Central African's States (BEAC). First, with a GMM adapted for a forward looking rule, we propose a reaction function for this central bank. The result shows that from 1986...

Most explanations for the necessity of an independent central bank rely on the time-inconsistency model and therefore assume that governments are weak, foolish, or untruthful and tend to cheat people. The model in this paper indicates, however, that an independent central bank is not necessary...

Islamic macro models are two categories. The first was inspired by Mannan (1970), Siddiqui (1981, 2006) and Chapra (1985, 1996). It is elaborated by Khan and Mirakhor (1994), Iqbal and Mirakhor (2011), in addition to Mirakhor and Zaidi (2007). It uses a pure equity-based system, keeping the...

We analyse the long-run imbalances of finance-dominated capitalism underlying the present crisis – which began in 2007 – with a focus on developments in the US and Germany. We argue that beyond inefficient regulation of the financial sector, the severeness of the present crisis has been...
