Beschreibung
This is a textbook in the discipline of Monetary Economicsfor use at especially postgraduate levelswith an African dimension. The book uses African data, examples and experiences; it is written with an African context or flavour and covers theory, practice, policy and empirical evidence in so doing. Further, the book covers unique topics like the domestic payments mechanism, the informal financial sector, microfinance institutions, growth in a fragmented dual economy, detailed analyses of financial intermediation, and autonomy of central banksissues hardly covered in other textbooks in the discipline. This is in addition to the usual topics like money supply, demand for money, central banking and monetary policy, and inflation. Most of the existing textbooks are suitable for teaching courses to students outside Africa. The books are based on the working of economies of developed countriesin terms of orientation, data and other information used, examples given, literature cited, topics covered and problem sets included in some of the books. The books lack the African context or touch as they are tuned to mainly developed economies.
