Africa's Counter-Cyclical Policy Responses

The Journal of Globalization and Development (a new journal co-founded by Prof. Joseph Stiglitz) recently published a new article by AfDB economists, Louis Kasekende, Leonce Ndikumana, and Zuzana Brixova. The article entitled, "Africa: Africa's Counter-Cyclical Policy Responses to the Crisis," summarizes the impact of the crisis on Africa and the African Development Bank’s economic outlook on Africa. It also discusses the case for stimulus packages in Africa and the need for global partnership. Visit http://www.bepress.com/jgd/vol1/iss1/art16/ for the full article.
