Exploring the asymmetric effect of oil price on exchange rate: Evidence from the top six African net oil importers
The paper investigates the oil price fluctuation on exchange rates for main African net oil importing countries, namely South Africa, Morocco, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Ghana and Senegal that cover for the period from 1983Q2 to 2018Q4. In order to thoroughly examine the subject matter, this study takes...
