The results indicate that grants and remittances are not associated, in the long run, with an appreciation of the real effective exchange in SSA and are therefore not likely to give rise to Dutch disease effects. These findings suggest that grants and remittances may be serving to ease supply constraints or boost productivity in the non-tradable sector in the recipient economies. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2009/075 606 $aSubsidies$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aForeign exchange rates$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aForeign Aid$2imf 606 $aRemittances$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aReal exchange rates$2imf 606 $aBalance of payments$2imf 606 $aInternational finance$2imf 607 $aTanzania, United Republic of$2imf 615 0$aSubsidies 615 0$aForeign exchange rates 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aForeign Aid 615 7$aRemittances 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aReal exchange rates 615 7$aBalance of payments 615 7$aInternational finance 676 $a338.9669 700 $aMongardini$b Joannes$01619193 701 $aRayner$b Brett$01719450 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828558803321 996 $aGrants, Remittances, and the Equilibrium Real Exchange Rate in Sub-Saharan African Countries$94117288 997 $aUNINA
