Purpose: This paper investigates the long run relationship between electricity consumption, foreign direct investment and economic growth in Sri Lanka. Design/Methodology/Approach: The annual time series data over the period 1970–2017 is considered to this study. Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) unit root analysis is employed for examining the stationary properties of the variables. Consequently, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) analysis is employed to examining the short- run and long-run relationship between electricity consumption, foreign direct investment and economic growth in Sri Lanka. Further, this study used the diagnostic tests such as the residual normality test, heteroskedasticity and serial autocorrelation tests for misspecification to validate the parameter estimation outcomes achieved by the estimated model. CUSUM test is applied to test the stability of the model. Collected data were analyzed using STATA version 15. Findings: The findings of the bound test confirm that the variables are cointegrated. Further the results reveal that there is a statistically positive significant relationship between electricity consumption, foreign direct investment and economic growth in Sri Lanka in the long run and short term. The empirical finding reveals that one percent increase in electricity consumption and foreign direct investment increases the GDP by 1.5 percent and 12.9 percent in the long run respectively.

Economic Determinants

This study examined the impact of a number of economic determinants such as economic growth, electricity consumption, foreign direct investment, financial development, trade openness and their contribution to increase or decrease of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Saudi Arabia. To explore the long-run relationships between the variables, the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) methodology, is employed to analyze time series data for the period 1980-2017. Results indicates that there has is a long-term positive relationship between electricity consumption, economic growth, trade openness, and carbon dioxide emissions. A long-term negative relationship is existed between both foreign direct investment and the financial development, and carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, we see how important it is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and switch to renewable energy in electricity production. This indicates the importance of Vision 2030 to reduce dependence on oil as a major source of income and to support economic growth by developing the non-oil sector. And the importance of raising the efficiency of funding and providing the necessary liquidity to support the industrial sectors with the imposition of strict environmental laws.

This study aims at exploring time series data of economic growth indicator and foreign inflow of fund to Bangladesh to investigate the nature of impact of such fund inflows on economic growth. In this regard data has been collected from World Bank data base for a period ranging from 1976 to 2017. The analysis is conducted by using the ARDL approach. The study identified foreign direct investment as a crucial external factor for growth of Bangladeshi economy. But another two mentionable ways of fund inflow such as foreign aid and remittance are found to play negative role in this regard. Along with these findings, this study recommends that the competent authority of Bangladesh should focus on creating more investment friendly environment to attract and ensure continual of foreign investment. Additionally, the study also claims for proper action to ensure effective use of policy and rules to make the best use of foreign aid and ensure enhanced capital formation of the foreign remittance.
