During the 1970s and early 1980s most studies on corporatism indicated that corporatist policies led to lower unemployment and inflation and higher economic growth rates. In the mid- and late 1980s, however, voices claiming that corporatism is in “decline” became more and more frequent although hardly any empirical examinations were undertaken. The purpose of this study is to estimate empirically the influence of corporatist arrangements on macroeconomic performance and industrial disputes in the 1980s as compared with the 1970s and 1960s. This pooled time-series/cross-sectional analysis provides evidence that corporatist policies have not lost their capacity to achieve the desired macroeconomic goals in the 1980s; in addition, corporatism significantly reduces the number of working days lost. However, no evidence was found that corporatism leads to increased economic growth. There is evidence that economic growth is adversely affected by government outlays.

It is well known that the performance of simple models of economic growth improves substantially through the introduction of subsistence consumption. How to compute subsistence needs, however, is a difficult and controversial issue. Here, I reconsider the linear (Ak) growth model with subsistence consumption and show that the evolution of savings rates and economic growth rates over time is independent of the size of subsistence needs. The model is thus more general and less subject to arbitrariness than might have been thought initially. Quantitatively, it is shown that, although there is no degree of freedom to manipulate transitional dynamics, the model approximates the historical evolution of savings rates and growth rates reasonably well.

A long-standing research question asks whether democracy promotes or inhibits development, but relatively few studies explore the developmental consequences of human rights. I analyze the effect of respect for bodily integrity rights and civil liberties on economic growth rates, measured as percentage changes in gross domestic product over pooled five-year intervals, for 138 countries between 1965 and 2010. Bodily integrity rights entail fundamental protections against torture, political imprisonment, extrajudicial killing, and disappearances. Civil liberties include the freedoms of speech, assembly, religion, and movement. The analyses make use of estimators designed to isolate causal directionality. I find that improvements in countries’ rated bodily integrity practices boost economic growth rates, even after accounting for other important explanatory factors and the possibility of reverse causality. Additional analyses suggest that this effect operates largely through increased domestic investment. Static levels in bodily integrity scores, conversely, have no effect on growth; neither do static levels of or dynamic changes in civil liberties.

Global images of Bangladesh as a desperately poor country in need of foreign aid require revision in light of recent statistics that confirm impressive economic growth rates despite protracted political problems and climate-related risks. The article presents and discusses statistical evidence relating to recent economic growth rates of Bangladesh in terms of export, import and gross domestic product. This confirms the status of the country as a new tiger economy, moving away from its traditional dependence on agriculture. However, excessive reliance on exports of ready-made garments is found to be risky, while a more balanced growth model with a diverse basket of exports seems advisable.

The risks and large-scale losses faced by the international community during the COVID-19 pandemic led to a recession in 2020. In these circumstances, of particular interest is the experience of China, which was able to maintain positive economic growth rates, demonstrating a unique resilience to modern challenges. The main objective of the study presented here is a statistical and structural analysis of the factors that ensure China’s international competitiveness and the resilience of its economy in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis is expected to show which key factors of China’s international competitiveness have made its economy resilient to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors also hope to identify which promising developments, similar to China’s, will enhance the international competitiveness of the BRICS countries.

The world has reduced its economic growth rates since several decades ago. Besides, there have been periods of economic “moderation” and economic crisis. Prior to the crisis of 2008, the world seemed to be running properly, but suddenly things changed and mainstream economists were not able to explain the account of this crisis. .....
