The paper examines the impact of credits to private sector and foreign direct investment (FDI) flows on the economic growth of ASEAN countries in the period 1995-2017. The paper also validates the capital spread of FDI inflows to economic growth through credits to private sector. Using fixed effect estimation method (FEM), random effect (REM) and generalized least square (GLS) for panel data, we found that FDI inflows are positvely correlated with the economic growth of the ASEAN countries. This once again confirms the role of FDI in promoting the economic growth as evidenced in previous studies. Meanwhile, credits to private sector exert a negative impact on the economic growth in these countries which is an interesting finding given that few studies yield a similar result. To assess the spillover effect of FDI to growth through credits to private sector, we augment our model with a variable that reflects the interaction between credits to private sector and FDI. This variable is negative and statistically significant, suggesting that FDI is yet to show its positive impact on growth through spreading capital to credits to privatte sector.

<p><em><span>Economic growth is an indicator to determine the overall of economy condition. There are some leading sectors that become jump-start economic growth of a country. They are the primary sectors consist of agriculture and mining, and the secondary sector is processing industry. This research aims to understand the impact of export, investment, and productivity to economic growth in Indonesia’s primary and secondary sectors. This research uses the panel data regression method (Panel Least Square). From the estimation result, fixed effect is the best model of the model selection using the Chow test. It is shown by partial test (t-test) that exports, investment and productivity have a positive and significant impact to economic growth in Indonesia’s primary and secondary sectors.</span></em> <em><span>In a cross-sectoral, relative estimation results indicate that exports of agricultural and industrial have positive impact on the growth while the mining sector has a negative impact. In other side, investment and productivity of primary sectors (agricultur and mining) have negatif impact on growth while the industrial has positive impact. </span></em></p>

All investigations into the role of institutions in the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth conclude the impact of interaction between FDI and institutional quality on economic growth is significantly positive. Contrary to the conclusion of these studies, this paper finds it is significantly negative for a panel data of 43 provinces in Vietnam over the period 2005–2012 via the estimation method of difference panel GMM Arellano–Bond. In addition, the estimated results also show: (1) FDI inflows significantly foster economic growth; (2) Good institutional quality has a significantly positive impact while bad institutional quality has a negative albeit insignificant effect on economic growth. From the policy perspective, these findings signal an important message to developing countries that governments should carefully adjust policies and institutions because aside from attracting more FDI inflows and promoting the economic activities, it can also be detrimental to economic growth.


This paper investigates the impact of Jordanian insurance company's profitability on the economic growth during the period 2007-2016. Regression analysis using random effect model was adopted after applying Hausman test. The results reveals that earning per share, and net realized premiums to shareholders equity have a negative impact on the economic growth, also a significant positive impact for the return on equity on the economic growth has been founded. According to the results the study recommended to encourage individuals and investors to participate in insurance in various fields.

Stock returns are decomposed into their regular and outlier components using a maximum likelihood outlier-resistant estimation method. Analytical results depicting the impact of outliers on the ordinary least square (OLS) estimated models and cumulative abnormal return (CAR) statistics are derived and validated using Monte Carlo simulations. The implications of outliers for past event studies are investigated using samples drawn randomly from the universe of stocks in the CRSP database. The OLS-CAR statistics fail to forecast about 37% of the negative-impact and 43% of the positive-impact events. These results raise serious concerns about the validity of conclusions of past event studies, especially those that rejected the hypothesis of significant-impact events.

This study examines the impact of financial development on energy consumption for a wide array of countries. The estimators used for financial development are foreign direct investment, economic growth and urbanization. The study employed a panel data regression on 136 countries with time frame of years 1990 to 2019. The model in this study deploys system GMM technique to estimate the model. The results show that financial development has a significant negative impact on energy consumption overall. Foreign direct investment and urbanization has significant impact on energy consumption. Also, economic growth positive impact on energy consumption its mean that economic growth promotes energy consumption. When dividing further the sample into different groups of regions such as Asian, European, African, North/Latin American and Caribbean countries then mixed results related to the nexus between financial development and energy consumption with respect to economic growth, urbanization and foreign direct investment. The policymakers in these different groups of countries must balance the relationship between energy supply and demand to achieving the sustainable economic development.

This study is an empirical investigation to assess the impact of domestic debt on India’s Economic growth during the period 1980 – 2014. We use data on Domestic Debt, Net Fiscal Deficit, Exports, Savings, Real Gross Domestic Product, Population and Terms of Trade. This study adopts the ARDL Co-Integration and Granger Causality techniques to investigate the relation between the key variables. The study also employs various post estimation tests to validate the fitness and stability of the models based on Gauss Markov assumptions, after employing the ordinary least square regression on various models. We find that debt negatively impacts economic growth while savings has a positive impact. The Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique used to test the robustness suggests existence of co-integration among the variables. However, none of the long run co-efficient is significant. The granger causality and co-integration test results support the traditional view that debt negatively impacts economic growth.

The bureaucratic reform at the local government level in Indonesia that was instituted in 2012 has turned local government internal auditors into an important part of government governance systems. The role of local government internal auditors has been expanded to include not only the area of audit oversight, but also the areas of anti-corruption-related and consulting activities. These fundamental changes may potentially induce role conflict and role ambiguity among internal auditors. The objective of this study is to examine empirically the determinants and consequences of role conflict and role ambiguity among local government internal auditors. More specifically, this study attempts to examine the extent to which formalization determines role conflict and role ambiguity; it further tests the impact of role conflict and role ambiguity on commitment to independence and job performance. Questionnaires were distributed to 248 local government internal auditors from 12 Regional Inspectorates in the provinces of Yogyakarta, South Sumatra, and East Java. A total of 176 responses were received, and 124 useable responses from the 176 responses were analysed to test the hypotheses. Using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square the results show that: formalization is negatively related to role conflict and role ambiguity; role ambiguity has a negative impact on commitment to independence; role conflict has a positive impact on job performance; and role ambiguity has a negative impact on job performance. These findings serve as important external validity evidence on the phenomena associated with role conflict and role ambiguity that occur in the public sector, especially among internal auditors at local government institutions.Keywords: role conflict, role ambiguity, local government, internal auditors

AbstractThe Southern Region of Europe is economically well-developed with highly industrialized urban areas and with great agricultural potential. The empirical analysis is based on an econometric assessment that measures the impact of the VAT on the rate of economic growth for years between 1996 and 2017. The empirical evidence highlighted a significant positive impact of VAT on economic growth, but a poor and ineffective use of the tax revenues during the period under review. Moreover, evidence revealed relatively high rates of VAT in the countries analyzed, with negative impact on the aggregate consumption and a diminishing effect of the consumer’s income.

This study examined the impact of exchange rate volatility on economic growth in Nigeria. The study covers the period of 1986 to 2019. Using time series data, the methodology adopted is the Vector Error Correction Mechanism to explore the impact of exchange rate volatility on the selected macroeconomic variables. The result indicated that exchange rate volatility has a significant impact on economic growth, specifically it has a positive impact on inflation, unemployment and balance of trade. On the other hand it has a negative impact on economic growth and investment. The recommendations made include; that relevant authorities should try to avoid systematic currency devaluations in order to maintain exchange rate volatility at a rate that allows adjustment of the balance of payments.
