The aim of this paper is to identify the robustness of the determinants of FDI in sub-Saharan African countries over the period 1985 to 2012. This is done through the use of a linear dynamic panel model, estimated by the Bayesian Averaging of Maximum Likelihood Estimates (BAMLE) developed by Moral Benito (2012). The empirical analysis show the following key results: (i) natural resources and market size are the most robust determinants; (ii) inflation, infrastructure, human capital and trade openness are weak robust; (iii) corruption and political instability are very less robust determinants.

Abstract Nearly 80 per cent of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) expenditures are spent on three different measures: first pillar payments (FPPs), agri-environmental payments (AEPs) and less favoured area payments (LFAPs). Based on a dynamic panel model and farm accounting data for Bavaria, we find that, on average, 30 per cent of FPPs, 40–50 per cent of LFAPs, but no relevant share of AEPs are capitalised into land rental prices. The capitalisation ratio varies considerably across regions. Above average capitalisation ratios for FPPs are observed in more favourable areas with high yields, a low grassland share and large farms. The same is true for LFAPs for areas with high yields, large farms and a greater share of part-time farmers.

This paper empirically investigates how climate change mitigation affects crude oil prices while using carbon intensity as the indicator for climate change mitigation. The relationship between crude oil prices and carbon intensity is estimated using an Arellano and Bond GMM dynamic panel model. This study undertakes a regional-level analysis because of the geographical similarities among the countries in a region. Regions considered for the study are Africa, Asia and Oceania, Central and South America, the EU, the Middle East, and North America. Results show that there is a positive relationship between crude oil prices and carbon intensity, and a 1% change in carbon intensity is expected to cause about 1.6% change in crude oil prices in the short run and 8.4% change in crude oil prices in the long run while the speed of adjustment is 19%.

We examine if macroeconomic factors impact cash holdings and how it influences the speed of adjustment of cash to target levels using the Arellano-Bover/Blundell-Bond dynamic panel model. We analyse a balanced panel and find that exchange rate, stock market index and oil price shocks impact cash holdings positively. We also observe that firms hold more cash in expectation of GDP growth, oil price shocks, increase in credit spread, budget deficit and hold marketable securities in expectation of inflationary conditions in the economy, while they hold less cash in expectation of an increase in exchange rate and increase in long-term and short-term bond rates. We further substantiate that cash holdings in firms adjust to target cash reserves in a dynamic process. We provide strong evidence that macroeconomic policy decisions impact cash levels in firms.
