Beskrivning
In this sophisticated yet accessible analysis of the open economies of Sub-Saharan Africa, Jean-Paul Azam analyses international trade, exchange rate issues, and longer-term growth, taking due account of the distinctive features of African economies. In particular, he examines the informal as well as the formal institutional frameworks which prevail in different African countries and which affect their macroeconomic behaviour. Key issues explored include tariffs and quotas, membership of the CFA Zone, and currency convertibility or inconvertibility, as well as smuggling, corruption, parallel markets in goods and currencies, ethnic diversity and redistribution. Case studies of important macroeconomic events are used to establish basic stylized facts from which the theory emerges, and special attention is paid to the consequences of macroeconomic events for the poor, via the food market or traditional redistribution mechanisms.

Recensioner i media

'Jean-Paul Azam provides a refreshingly different and credible approach to analysing macroeconomic policy outcomes, one in which the roles of individuals and institutions receive serious attention in explaining policy outcomes. He shows that case studies can be a powerful tool for making rigorous analysis interesting. The discussions of currency convertibility, exchange rates, inflation, public debt, currency crises, growth, poverty, human capital, ethnicity and the politics of redistribution are all done in relation to the actions or inactions of clearly identifiable economic agents in countries that the author has, sometimes, personally observed. This is certainly a most welcome contribution to the analysis of African economies.' Ernest Aryeetey, Professor of Economics and Director of the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER), University of Ghana
