Based on panel data of 58 countries, of which 22 Inflation Targeters and 36 non Inflation Targeters, over the period 1980-2003, this paper highlights the effect of Inflation Targeting – IT- on Fiscal Discipline –FD-. We make four contributions to the literature. Firstly, by applying the 2SLS...

We make use of a bootstrap panel analysis of causality between energy use and economic growth for a sample of sixteen African countries over the period 1988-2010. Our results show that growth and energy use are strongly linked in Africa. However, African countries are heterogeneous and there is...

(specification and estimation risks) on VaR estimates. We find that integrating the model risk into the VaR computations implies a … substantial minimum correction of the order of 10-40% of VaR levels. We also present results of a practical method - based on a … backtesting framework - for incorporating the model risk into the VaR estimates. …
