Last decade, Indonesia's economic growth experienced a downward trend. The study examines the role of investment, equality in education, poverty, income inequality, and regime to economic growth in Indonesia. We used time-series data between 1970-2017. It was obtained from BPS and World Bank (Indodapur) publications. The model used is the Weighted Least Square Regression (WLS). The results showed the factors that contributed significantly to increasing Indonesia's economic growth were education equality, poverty, and income inequality. While investment/capital, economic transparency, and the regime did not significantly contribute to increasing economic growth. Expanding access to education for high school or equivalent is important by the Government, including the development of school infrastructure in remote areas and teacher distribution. The Government should maintain the poverty trend that continues to decline. The future study dynamic models look at the long-term relationships related to education equality, distribution of income, and poverty on economic growth.

This study aims to reexamine the relationships between selected macroeconomic variables, especially the expenditure on education, on growth of Malaysian economy. Specifically, the exogenous variables in this study comprise of government education expenditure, investment, human capital and expert labor. For analysis purpose, this study adopts the time series data from 1988 until 2018. The estimated model is developed by employing ordinary least square technique (OLS). Outcome of this study discloses that human capital is the most crucial variable in elucidating Malaysian economic growth in the long term. Additionally, the study findings affirm that the government expenditure on education and capital formation are second and third outstanding variables in clarifying the economic growth in the observation time frame, respectively. Surprisingly, this particular study discovers that labor force expertise is irrelevant in influencing economic growth for Malaysia case. Consequently, the results of this study are parallel with other previous studies, especially on the roles that have been played by all variables aforementioned above. Albeit insignificant, expert labor still gives little impact to Malaysia’s economic growth at 10% confidence level. The reason being, as a high middle income country, human capital has more profound effect in promoting economic growth in Malaysia due to its ability to generate remarkably higher productivity for the nation compares to expert labor factor. For future study, further dynamic analysis is needed to prove the variables’ relationships in the short and long terms.

AbstractThis paper examines the causal relationship between governance indicators and economic growth in Afghanistan. We use a set of quarterly time series data from 2003Q1 to 2018Q4 to test our hypothesis. Following Toda and Yamamoto’s (J Econom 66(1–2):225–250, 1995. 10.1016/0304-4076(94)01616-8) vector autoregressive model and the modified Wald test, our empirical results show a unidirectional causality between the government effectiveness, rule of law, and the economic growth. Our findings exhibit significant causal relationships running from economic growth to the eradication of corruption, the establishment of the rule of law, quality of regulatory measures, government effectiveness, and political stability. More interestingly, we support the significant multidimensional causality hypothesis among the governance indicators. Overall, our findings not only reveal causality between economic growth and governance indicators, but they also show interdependencies among the governance indicators.

This study explored the causal relationship between exports and economic growth in Tanzania. It analyzed time series data for the period of 1980 to 2015. Economic growth is measured in terms of growth per cent while exports are measured in percentage change of goods and services sold abroad. Econometrics analysis was employed in the due course. Such procedures as testing for the presence of unit root, co-integration and causality were done. Furthermore, the Johansen co-integration and Granger causality tests were employed to examine the long-run relationship among variables. The results of co-integration indicate the existence of one co-integrating equation. The causality test results exhibited causality which runs from economic growth to exports. The results conclude that, in the long run, there is a relationship between exports and economic growth in Tanzania. This study recommends the Government to make efforts to improve exports and eventually, in the long-run, rejuvenating the economy.
