| Zusammenfassung: | In this sophisticated yet accessible analysis of the open economies of Sub-Saharan Africa, Jean-Paul Azam analyses international trade, exchange rate issues, and longer-term growth, taking due account of the distinctive features of African economies. In particular, he examines the informal as well as the formal institutional frameworks which prevail in different African countries and which affect their macroeconomic behaviour. Key issues explored include tariffs and quotas, membership of the CFA Zone, and currency convertibility or inconvertibility, as well as smuggling, corruption, parallel markets in goods and currencies, ethnic diversity and redistribution. Case studies of important macroeconomic events are used to establish basic stylized facts from which the theory emerges, and special attention is paid to the consequences of macroeconomic events for the poor, via the food market or traditional redistribution mechanisms |

Longer-term growth in African countries -- Exchange rate, growth, and poverty -- Export crops, human capital, and endogenous growth -- Ethnic rents and the politics of redistribution In this sophisticated yet accessible analysis of the open economies of Sub-Saharan Africa, Jean-Paul Azam analyses international trade, exchange rate issues, and longer-term growth, taking due account of the distinctive features of African economies. In particular, he examines the informal as well as the formal institutional frameworks which prevail in different African countries and which affect their macroeconomic behaviour. Key issues explored include tariffs and quotas, membership of the CFA Zone, and currency convertibility or inconvertibility, as well as smuggling, corruption, parallel markets in goods and currencies, ethnic diversity and redistribution. Case studies of important macroeconomic events are used to establish basic stylized facts from which the theory emerges, and special attention is paid to the consequences of macroeconomic events for the poor, via the food market or traditional redistribution mechanisms Foreign exchange / Africa, Sub-Saharan Informal sector (Economics) / Africa, Sub-Saharan Schattenwirtschaft (DE-588)4052105-9 gnd rswk-swf Wirtschaftspolitik (DE-588)4066493-4 gnd rswk-swf Wirtschaftsentwicklung (DE-588)4066438-7 gnd rswk-swf Handel (DE-588)4023222-0 gnd rswk-swf Wechselkurs (DE-588)4064921-0 gnd rswk-swf Africa, Sub-Saharan / Commercial policy Africa, Sub-Saharan / Commerce Subsaharisches Afrika (DE-588)4053770-5 gnd rswk-swf Subsaharisches Afrika (DE-588)4053770-5 g Wirtschaftsentwicklung (DE-588)4066438-7 s 1\p DE-604 Schattenwirtschaft (DE-588)4052105-9 s 2\p DE-604 Handel (DE-588)4023222-0 s 3\p DE-604 Wechselkurs (DE-588)4064921-0 s 4\p DE-604 Wirtschaftspolitik (DE-588)4066493-4 s 5\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-68407-1 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-86536-4 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511618338 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 5\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
