A Macro econometrics Modelling and Forecasting of The Response of US Macroeconomic Coincident Indicators to Exogenous COVID-19 Shocks:

A Vector Autoregression (VAR) Approach.

A Master thesis by William Ashu Tanyi

Abstract: The outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly disrupted US economy.

The purpose of this study was to Macro econometrically model and forecast the response of US Macroeconomic Coincident Indicators to Exogenous COVID-19 Shock.

We utilized US Macroeconomic variables such as: Payroll, Personal Income, Industrial Index and Sales as coincident indicators and show that the coincident indicators response negatively to exogenous COVID-19 shocks. A 24-month period forecast was equally performed and showed a negative impact of COVID-19 US economy within the time horizon.

Master’s degree in Econometrics thesis entitled:

External Debt and Economic Growth in Cameroon:

Abstract: The study examines the long run relationship between external debt and economic growth in Cameroon. The model built for the study uses GDP growth as a function of external debt, inflation, exchange rate, interest rate and external debt service as the independent variables. Annual time series data was gathered from Mundi index data and the various editions of the World Bank from 1971 to 2005. The econometric techniques of OLS, Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test, Johansen co-integration test and Error Correction Method (ECM) are employed in the empirical analysis. Econometric evidence revealed stationarity, while the Johansen co-integration approach also confirms the existence of two co-integrating equations at the 5% level of significance, between economic growth and the external debt. The results reveal that external debt has a positive long-run relationship with economic growth in Cameroon, and external debt has contributed positively to the economy. Thus the ‘debt overhang’ hypothesis is not confirmed; however, external debt has a negative impact on the Cameroon economy, thus confirming the ‘crowding out’ hypothesis.
