Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates relationship between fiscal deficits and inflation in a sample of twelve African countries using quarterly series, covering the period from 1980:1 to 2018:4. It uses the Enders and Siklos (2001) technique that accommodates asymmetric adjustments between the series, which suits African countries with imperfect and underdeveloped financial market systems where adjustments may be sporadic and contingent. The results indicate that there is a long-run relationship between fiscal deficits and inflation in all the countries and fiscal deficit is inflationary, which indicates importance of fiscal consolidation. It is also found that adjustments between the series are asymmetric in these countries.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
