The paper aims to evaluate economic contribution of tourism in South Asiancountries by using secondary data covering 2008-2017 collected from world travel and tourism council database to draw insights about the subject. Descriptive statistics in form of tables, charts, mean and standard deviation were used for comparative analyses. Overall score indicated that Thailand is the best performer with respect to the economic contribution of tourism among the sample southeast Asian countries during the period 2008-2017.

The present article aims to study the implications of foreign aid on GDP per capita in the seven middle-income countries of South and Southeast Asia from 1990 to 2016. The influence of foreign aid on GDP per capita is studied in a policy-driven environment, for which a policy index using government consumption expenditure, inflation and trade openness is constructed. The outcomes of the study confirm that aid–policy interaction has a significant and positive impact on economic growth in the region. The results are calculated using the two-stage least-squares model, as foreign aid is included as an endogenous variable in the study. This approach enables us to assess the indirect effect of monetary, fiscal and trade policies on GDP per capita, as the constructed policy index is used as an instrument for foreign aid. The results of the study ascertain that besides current aid–policy interaction, the preceding years’ aid–policy interaction also has a positive and significant impact on GDP per capita in the region. The inclusion of a policy index in the analysis enables us to evaluate the effectiveness of economic policies while determining the level of GDP per capita in South and Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, the study proposes that while assessing the influence of aid-financed programmes on GDP growth of a country, the economic policies of recipient countries need to be considered. The bottom line is that foreign aid, economic policies and economic growth of aid-recipient countries are inextricably linked.

Tourism can be a positive trigger to stimulate economic activities and growth. This study examined the relationships between domestic tourism spending, international tourism receipts and the economic growth of eight Southeast Asian countries from 1995-2018 using a Pedroni cointegration test, fully-modified OLS (FMLOS), dynamic OLS (DOLS) and Granger causality tests. The results showed a strong long-term relationship between economic growth, domestic tourism spending and international tourism receipts. Based on the results, Southeast Asian countries should increase tourism development to improve economic growth. Keywords: economic growth, domestic tourism, international tourism, tourism development

PurposeThe per capita GDP of the nine countries of Southeast Asia varies from less than $5,000 to over $97,000. One reason some have higher income than others, notably Singapore and Malaysia, relates to development that occurred prior to the Second World War. Using a comparative political economy approach or methodology, the essay concludes that the major reason for the variation was that six of the countries experienced major sustained disruptions resulting from extreme politics and political instability. These included wars, kleptocratic governments and leaders more interested in ideology or foreign policy than economic growth.Design/methodology/approachThe four countries that avoided these extremes (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and plus tiny Brunei) have the highest per capita incomes today. Those that have had long periods of war and political instability but have also had substantial periods of growth (Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines) come next. The two comparatively poor countries of Cambodia and Laos suffered long periods of war and were the least developed to begin with. Myanmar's military rulers through civil wars and kleptocratic mismanagement of the economy have prevented growth that involved benefits for anyone other than the military and its cronies for most of its post-independence history.FindingsDuring the periods when the Southeast Asian countries enjoyed stable environments for investment, they have all grown rapidly faster than most of the countries in Africa and Latin America, but except for Singapore, slower than the high performing Northeast Asian countries. Other kinds of political goals reduced total factory productivity and the efficacy of investment, thus slowing growth below its full potential.Originality/valueThe author is not aware of any essay that has discussed economic growth for the nine Southeast Asian countries in this way.
