Real Effective Exchange Rate Imbalances and Macroeconomic Adjustments: evidence from the CEMAC zone
We assess the behavior of real effective exchange rates (REERs) of members of the CEMAC zone with respect to their long-term equilibrium paths.

Our findings suggest that for majority of countries, macroeconomic fundamentals have the expected...
متن کاملMacroeconomic volatility and external imbalances
This paper studies the impact of macroeconomic volatility/uncertainty on the accumulation of net foreign assets of a country.
