Welcome!
I am a Lecturer of Economics at the Faculty of Economics and Management at the University of Yaoundé II. I am also a Visiting Lecturer in Financial Mathematics at the Saint Jean Management School, having commenced this role in September 2023. Before joining the Faculty of Economics and Management at the University of Yaounde II in January 2023, I was a visiting lecturer at the High Technical Teacher Training College (HTTTC) in Ebolowa (Cameroon). I obtained my PhD in Monetary and Banking Economics in January 2021 and my Master of Science in Monetary and Banking Economics in 2012, both from the University of Yaounde II. I also obtained my Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of Yaounde II, in August 2010. My primary fields of interest lie at the intersection of Monetary Economics, Political Economy, and Development Economics. My research is focused on the fiscal policy framework of developed and developing countries. I rely on Panel Analysis to assess the effects of fiscal rules, fiscal capacity, and the key factors explaining public expenditures or revenues.
In addition to my interest in fiscal policy, my work has also led me to consider questions related to financial digitalisation, income inequality and the environment. We are also interested in questions of political economy in relation to the concentration of political power and women's political participation. My research has been published in leading economics journals, such as the Journal of Comparative Economics, Economic Modelling and Kyklos.
Despite recognition of the importance of women's political rights for the functioning of modern states, women's participation in political debate and decision-making remains low around the world. As the first study of its kind, this article examines the impact of women's political empowerment on military spending. read more
