As economic growth is very important for the development of individuals and the society, the importance of capital stocks and labor force for the economic growth of countries cannot be neglected. Additionally, the human capital component and especially the role of competitiveness increases on the growth process have been extensively discussed over the last two decades. This paper examines the impact of competitiveness increases on economic growth of selected middle-income countries including Turkey for the period of 1997-2012 using a balanced panel data analysis, which was relatively less studied in the literature. According to analysis results, an increase on the competitiveness index of countries in the panel, which were obtained from the data set of the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), positively increases per capita income level. This result may be interpreted as several factors that increase competitiveness including infrastructure, economic structure, business world and regulations and investments that ensure public efficiency may have a positive impact on economic growth. Therefore, this study suggests that future policies that concentrate on extensive growth instead of intensive dimension may contribute to efficient and sustainable growth.

Data for economic growth (dependent) and trade (independent) are collected from World Development Bank and data for corruption are taken from International Country Risk published by the PRS Group. The study has used ECM ARDL Model and the Fixed Effect Model.  Findings: The result of the fixed effect model shows a 1percent increase in corruption decreases GDP by 0.07 units and shows a negative relationship with economic growth. Again if trade increases by 1 percent then growth will increase by 0.09 units on average and shows a positive relationship with economic growth. ECM ARDL Model shows the positive coefficient of corruption but not significant but trade has a long-run positive influence on economic growth. The error correction term indicating that the adjustment is corrected by 70% in these three countries. Contributions: This paper may be helpful for existing literature gap and also for further research. It will be helpful for policy makers to control corruption in three countries.

<p><em>A production process requires inputs to be used to produce output. The input according to Solow is the capital and labor described in the Cobb – Douglas function. Infrastructure can be said as capital in an effort to increase productivity, since labor requires supporting facilities that can increase their productivity. Therefore infrastructure is seen as having an important role in driving economic growth, so that adequate infrastructure is expected to have a positive impact on economic growth. This study aims to analyze the influence of the availability of infrastructure that is divided into economic infrastructure, social infrastructure and institutional infrastructure, on the economy in Indonesia which is described by the GDP. This study uses secondary data in 33 provinces in Indonesia in 2007-2014. This study uses panel data regression using the fixed effect model and correction of Heteroscedasticity and Autocorrelation Consistent (HAC). </em><em>Based on the results of econometric regression, it is known that the variables of road, electricity, education, health and capital expenditure have a positive and significant effect. While the employee expenditure variable has a positive but not significant relationship. In addition, it is known that telephone variables have a negative and insignificant relationship. The results of this study also show that electricity infrastructure has the biggest influence on economic growth..</em></p>
