South Africa: The Search for Balanced and Sustainable Economic Growth
Warnock, Francis E.Case DARDEN-GEM-0179-EEconomicsThis case follows Lesetja Kganyago, governor of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), and his efforts to keep inflation between 3% and 6% and, if possible, close to the midpoint of that range (i.e., 4.5%).

Warnock, Francis E.Case DARDEN-GEM-0178-EEconomicsThis case addresses the troubles facing the eurozone in early 2021. Was the area doomed to low (or no) growth?

The Yield Curve and Growth Forecasts
Warnock, FrankTechnical Note DARDEN-GEM-0106-EEconomicsFully updated through February 2024, in this case, the protagonist was sifting through the evidence on the predictive content of the yield curve. Did the current steepness of the yield curve mean that a double-dip recession was highly unlikely? Or was the fact that the yield curve had flattened over the past few years suggest a coming slowdown in economic growth? From time to time, the market focused on the slope of the yield curve. What can it t...Starting at €8.20

Euro Zone Convergence, Divergence...and Then What?
Warnock, Francis E.; Debaere, PeterCase DARDEN-GEM-0107-EEconomicsA hedge-fund strategist had two decisions to make. First, what was the path of core euro zone long-term interest rates likely to be over the next year? Was the dramatic decline in German long rates over the past few years an aberration that would soon be reversed, or was it part of the “new normal” that would persist for some time? Second, how would periphery long rates evolve relative to core rates? That is-the spread between long rates in the l...Starting at €8.20
