In Search of Equilibrium : Estimating Equilibrium Real Exchange Rates in Sub-Saharan African Countries / Joannes Mongardini, Alexander Chudik.

The limited data set hinders single-country estimation for most countries in the sample, but panel estimates are statistically and economically significant, and generally robust to different estimation techniques. The results replicate well the historical experience for a number of countries in the sample. Panel techniques can also be used to derive out of sample estimates for countries with a more limited data set. Mode of access: Internet Chudik, Alexander.
