Trade Shocks In Developing Countries / Africa
The first volume of a comparative study of trade shocks covering 23 countries. This volume examines Africa, and challenges the common generalizations. Trade shocks are shown to lead to high savings rates, though policy errors often mean windfalls actually lead to a reduction in output.
