Les réponses macroéconomiques des pays du CARICOM aux chocs extérieurs majeurs d’aujourd’hui by Louis Dupont

“…This study reveals that real US PIB shock exert the greatest influence on macroeconomic fluctuations in CARICOM countries, that the external environment has a sizable impact on the macroeconmic performance of the small open economy of CARICOM countries, in particular the covid-19 and Ukraine war related shocks lead to substantial contractions in output in all CARICOM countries and deterioration of the current account balance. The model also shows that increase in US real GDP growth, and a fall in crude oil and food prices are all things being equal to otherwise expansionary in the CARICOM countries.Finally, to obtain small inflation, monetary stability and faster growth, we recommand to political leaders of these countries, not to diminish the households consumption but to increase the production.…”
