In this paper, we analyze the nature of long-run exchange rate pass-through in a panel of 24 developing countries. We define and estimate an exchange rate pass-through equation based on micro-foundations of pricing behaviour by exporters firms. We adopt a multi-country framework and we use...

The main purpose of the paper is to contribute to the empirical works relating to exchange rate pass-through. Indeed, we revisit the Taylor (2000) proposition for some developing countries in order to examine the decline in their pass-through coefficients, and to find possible explanations for...

The evolution of labor force participation rate is modeled using a lagged linear function of real economic growth, as expressed by GDP per capita. For the U.S., our model predicts at a two-year horizon with RMSFE of 0.28% for the period between 1965 and 2007. Larger part of the deviation between...

In this paper, we would like to know whether microfinance has effects on poverty reduction, and if the degree of these effects varies according to the sex of the beneficiaries. After a specification of the binary indicator of poverty, the propensity score method in two stages, which consists in...

The paper uses nonparametric methodology to examine the role of institutions in understanding differential levels of development across countries. By using the Li-Racine (2004) generalized kernel estimation methodology, our paper allows a deeper look into the impact of institutions on...

The correlation between savings and economic growth has been the subject of research for some well-known economists. This study provides further insight on such correlation by examining the case of Kosovo from both a qualitative and quantitative research methodology. The data used was from 2010...
