The Impact

This paper contributes to the debate on the impact of economic diversity and the resource curse on economic growth. We use dynamic panel data models on data on Canadian and US sub-national jurisdictions. We find evidence for a positive relationship between diversity and growth. Based on the Krugman Specialization Index, our analysis shows that the required threshold for not having the resource curse is 0.209. Above this threshold, the marginal contribution of natural resources to economic growth is lower for a more diversified regional economy than a less diversified one. We highlight the policy implications of these findings.

Our paper empirically analyses the factors that determine the profitability of 120 manufacturing firms listed in Borsa Istanbul Stock Exchange during the period 2005-2012. Estimation results from dynamic panel data model taking into account the endogeneity of variables indicate that lagged profitability, firm size, financial risk, R&D costs, net working capital, and economic growth are the most important variables affecting firm profitability. More specifically, profitability is positively and significantly affected by past profitability, firm size in terms of total sales, net working capital, and economic growth. On the other hand, R&D costs and financial risk have a dampening effect on the profitability.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine global trajectories, dynamics, and tendencies of software piracy to ease the benchmarking of current efforts toward harmonizing the standards and enforcements of intellectual property rights (henceforth IPRs) protection worldwide. Design/methodology/approach For that purpose, the authors estimate dynamic panel data models for 99 countries over the period 1994-2010. Findings The main finding suggest that, a genuine timeframe for standardizing IPRs laws in the fight against software piracy is most feasible within a horizon of 4.3-10.4 years. In other words, full (100 percent) convergence within the specified timeframe will mean the enforcements of IPRs regimes without distinction of nationality or locality within identified fundamental characteristics of software piracy. The absence of convergence (in absolute and conditional terms) for the World panel indicates that, blanket policies may not be effective unless they are contingent on the prevailing trajectories, dynamics and tendencies of software piracy. Policy implications and caveats are also discussed. Originality/value It is the first attempt to empirically assess the convergence of IPRs systems across countries.

The Impact

Financial inclusion is designed to increase the opportunities and society participation in the formal financial institution, especially for unbanked people. Moreover, financial inclusion is one of strategy inclusive economic growth. However, financial inclusion may lead an ineffectiveness of monetary policy. It is because financial inclusion can affect the sensitivity of interest rate, and it could cause instability demand for money. Therefore, the research aims to analyze the impact of financial inclusion on demand for money, reserve money (M0), in 36 countries for the period 2004 to 2014. The method that used is Dynamic Panel Approach. The result shows that financial inclusion stimulates the increase of demand for reserve money (M0) in developed countries. In the other hand, the increasing of financial inclusion could decrease the demand for reserve money (M0) in developing countries.DOI: 10.15408/sjie.v7i2.6838

The Impact

<p><em>The potential role that workers’ remittances are likely to play in promoting economic growth, especially in Arab countries, is currently attracting considerable attention. </em><em>These remittances have an impact on the remitting economies as well. </em><em>The Gulf region is considered one of the top sending countries of migrant remittances. In this study, empirical analysis is carried out with panel techniques using data over the last three decades for six Arab countries. Our results show that migrant remittances have a positive and significant impact on economic growth. This relationship is also significant when we use dynamic panel data. An indirect effect of remittances on economic growth is pointed out especially via the investment and the household final consumption expenditure channels. </em></p><p><em>Policymakers in Arab countries should take appropriate policy actions to increase the outflow of workers. Developed capital markets, as well as a sound macroeconomic policy environment, would provide incentives for sustainable remittances transfers.</em></p>
