This paper explores the sources of inflation in Sub-Saharan Africa by examining the relationship between inflation, the output gap and the real money gap. Using heterogeneous panel co-integration estimation techniques, we estimate co-integrating vectors for the production function and the real...

This paper explores the sources of inflation in Sub-Saharan Africa by examining the relationship between inflation, the output gap, and the real money gap. Using heterogeneous panel cointegration estimation techniques, we estimate cointegrating vectors for the production function and the real...

Despite decades of research, the parameters of the Phillips curve (old or new) remain uncertain, because their estimation is fraught with endogeneity issues: confounding from supply shocks, unobserved inflation expectations and an unobserved output gap. In this work, we use sequences of past...
