The interest rate and exchange rate were also included in the model as control variables. In the case of Jamaica, remittances were included due to its importance in the economy. The study argued that consumer confidence indices can be useful in economic forecasting, policymaking and business planning in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. This usefulness is, however, built on the assumption that the index leads (or causes) aggregate economic conditions. 2014-01-02T15:22:07Z 2014-01-02T15:22:07Z 2011-10 Texto Documento Completo http://hdl.handle.net/11362/4086 LC/CAR/L.352 LC/W.545 en Documentos de Proyectos 545 application/pdf JAMAICA TRINIDAD Y TABAGO CARIBE JAMAICA TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO CARIBBEAN REGION ECLAC
