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 note examines Prabhat Patnaik's argument that the contemporary international financial system crucially requires the stability of oil prices in terms of the dollar. By comparing the macroeconomic impact of recent oil shocks to those of the 1970s, it argues that sharp changes in the dollar...

This paper proposes a new measure proxying the degree of anchoring of inflation expectations on an individual forecaster level and studies the co-movement of this measure with expectations regarding monetary policy and different cost-push factors. In doing so, we rely on data taken from the ECB...

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...

I develop flexible- and sticky-price general equilibrium models that embody corporate financing decisions affecting firm value because of distortionary taxes. Nominal interest-rate variations impact costs of debt and equity capital asymmetrically and induce firms to modify the financial...

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...
