Macroeconomic Fluctuations in Sub-Saharan Africa /

The sources of macroeconomic fluctuations in sub-Saharan African are examined by comparing the CFA franc countries with the non-CFA franc countries.

Macroeconomic fluctuations in non-CFA franc countries are similar to those in other developing countries, particularly in Latin America.
