This Paper Examines The Relative Importance Of Monetary Growth And Exchange Rate Depreciation As Causes Of Inflation In A Sample Of 10 Sub-saharan African Countries. Causality Tests And Impulse Response Functions Derived From Vector Autoregression (var) Analysis Suggest That Both Monetary Expansion And Exchange Rate Adjustments Cause Inflation In A Number Of These Countries. However, The Failure Of The Tests To Attribute The Bulk Of The Variance In Inflation In Most Of The Countries To Either Variable Suggests Either A Problem With The Statistical Technique Or That Some Other Factor--perhaps Structural Bottlenecks Or A Measure Of Overall Macroeconomic Policy Stance Incorporating Both Monetary And Exchange Rate Policy--may Be Even More Important As A Determinant Of Inflation In African Countries.
