  • Revisiting the West African Commonwealth Countries’ Exchange Rate Pass-Through to Inflation
    Academic Journal of Economic Studies, 2020
    Co-Authors: Ibrahim Abdulhamid Danlami
    Abstract:

    The study analyzed the exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) to inflation in West African Commonwealth Countries (WACCs). The study used a Dynamic Panel Data Model–Pool Mean Group (PMG) that was chosen by the Hausman test over the Mean Group (MG) and Dynamic Fixed Effect Model (DFE). Data for a period 1980–2016 was used, and the results indicate the absence of ERPT to inflation in WACCs in the short run and the economy corrects itself towards the long run in about two short-run periods. Meanwhile, evidence of complete ERPT to inflation was established in WACCs in the long run. Therefore, the study advised the policymakers of WACCs to strengthen their export promotion policies and import substitution strategies for the purpose of stabilizing their exchange rate by which, without it, inflationary pressure will perpetuate itself in their economy. Stability in the exchange rate will help towards attaining, to some extent, sustainable price stability in WACCs economies.

  • Assessing the Asymmetry of the Exchange Rate Pass-Through to Inflation in West African Commonwealth Countries
    Academic Journal of Economic Studies, 2020
    Co-Authors: Ibrahim Abdulhamid Danlami, Sallahuddin Hassan, Mohamad Helmi Bin Hidthiir
    Abstract:

    The research investigated the exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) to inflation and its asymmetry in West African Commonwealth Countries (WACCs). The research employed Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Non-linear ARDL (NARDL) on WACCs data for a period 1980 – 2016. The results of the symmetry (ARDL) show that, during the short-run, there is no evidence of ERPT in Nigeria, though, after one-year ERPT has a disinflationary effect. Meanwhile, complete ERPT exists in Ghana, the Gambia, and Sierra Leone. In the long-run, complete ERPT exists in all the Countries, the Gambia having the highest ERPT followed by Nigeria and Sierra Leone. Ghana has the lowest ERPT in the long run. The results of the asymmetry (NARDL) reveal that during the short run, in Nigeria, there is no evidence of ERPT based on the positive but positive ERPT that exists based on the negative shocks. Evidence of positive ERPT exists in the rest of the Countries based on both the positive and negative shocks. On the other hand, the long-run asymmetric results reveal that both the positive and the negative shocks result in positive ERPT to inflation in all the Countries. These imply that exchange rate fluctuations are inflation, and its stabilization is necessary to combat inflation in all the Countries.

  • An Analysis of the United Kingdom’s Cultural Diplomacy towards the Commonwealth Countries
    2010
    Co-Authors: Zhao Chunxi
    Abstract:

    After the World War II, the United Kingdom has been making use of the cultural diplomacy to consolidate and develop its relations with the Commonwealth Countries in order to realize its strategic goals in different periods. A triune type of operational mechanism has thus already been formed, which is especially known for its English teaching, education and training, literature exchange and sports activities. Because its cultural diplomacy sticks to the principles of mutuality and flexibility, it has successfully avoided being criticized as cultural colonialism and refrained from abandoning the long-termness of the cultural diplomacy. The fact proves that this kind of cultural diplomacy has played an important role in promoting the UK’s soft power by influence-enhancing, relations-maintaining and image-improving while its hard power is declining.
