We estimate a Vector Error Correction Model to explore the long run and short run linkages between the world crude oil price and economic activity in Ghana for the period 1970:1 to 2006:4. The results point out that there is a long run relationship between the variables under consideration. We...

We investigate nominal exchange rates and nominal price convergence in the West African Monetary Zone. Using data for the first quarter of 1974 through the first quarter of 2007, we find that real exchange rates in The Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone follow a random walk. Further, we...

This paper employs the cointegration and Vector Error Correction (VEC) methodology to explore exchange rate modeling in Ghana, by considering the interactions between the goods and capital assets market, using monthly data spanning from January 1997 to December 2007. The empirical evidence...
