Regional Impact of Cote D'Ivoire's Sociopolitical Crisis : An Assessment / Dorothy Engmann, Ousmane Dore, Benoit Anne.

Using a nonsubjective weighted index of regional instability in cross-country time-series regressions, it shows that the increase in regional instability caused by domestic instability in Cote d'Ivoire had a negative effect on the growth performance of its most direct neighbors, but no significant effect on the subregion as a whole including the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). The paper also examines the channels through which such spillover effects took place. Mode of access: Internet Anne, Benoit. Dore, Ousmane.
