    Analytical Evaluation of Fiscal and Monetary Policies in Macroeconomic Management in Tanzania
    (ZENITH International Journal of Business Economics & Management Research, 2012-07) Mpanju, AK
    This paper tries to analyze the relative effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies on macroeconomic management and how they have influenced economic growth and development in Tanzania for the period 1990 to 2009. The essence of the study was to evaluate the trend of narrow money (M1), broad money (M2), government revenue, government expenditure, government budget deficits, and gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates. The study adopted a case study design with a quantitative research approach and it represents an econometric analysis using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The empirical analysis on basis of ordinary least squares method suggests that, there is moderate (positive) relationship between the variables (narrow money, broad money, government revenue receipts, and gross domestic product growth rates). This means that these variables have no big significant impact on the pattern of gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates. Also, the analysis suggests that budget deficits have moderate (negative) relationship with gross domestic product growth rates. Thus, the study finds no signified relationship between most of the components and we may conclude that fiscal policy and monetary policy does not exert a strong impact on economic activities in Tanzania.

    (ZENITH International Journal of Business Economics & Management Research, 2012-08) Mpanju, AK
    As an engine of economic development for developing countries, foreign direct investment (FD) inflows have contributed for creation of employment, technology transfer to local firms, and managerial know-how; have had positive effects on exports and access to external markets. This study tries to analyze the impact foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows on employment generation/creation within the East African Community (EAC), which is the regional intergovernmental organization of the Republics of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. It specifically estimates the effect of FDI on employment creation in the EAC for the period of 2004 to 2008. The study adopted a case study design with a quantitative research approach and it represents an econometric analysis using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The results show that there is strong (positive) relationship between the variables. This means that foreign direct investments (FDI) have a big significant impact on the pattern of employment opportunities. Then from above analysis we may conclude that EAC’s employment creation especially, does depend upon foreign direct investment inflows.
