    Fiscal policy and the current account evidence from South Africa
    (2012) Searle, Peter; Mama, Albert Touna; Kotzé, Kevin
    This paper investigates the link between fiscal policy and the current account in post-apartheid South Africa using Bayesian-Vector Autoregressions (BVARs). Consistent with the predictions of the twin deficit hypothesis, the analysis reports a strong positive relationship between the government budget balance and the current account.
