Immigration can help to alleviate the burden ageing presents for the welfare states of most Western Economies. To show this, a macroeconomic model is developed which deals with the effect of both ageing and immigration on economic growth, through home-biased capital accumulation. The model includes a detailed description of the labor market, analyzing the interaction with low-skilled unemployment. The empirical relevance of some crucial model assumptions is shown to hold for the Netherlands, 1973 – 2009, using a vector-error-correction model. Simulations of the latter model show that permanent shocks in immigration will help to alleviate the ageing problem in the long run, as long as the immigrants will be able to participate in the labor force at least as much as the native population. Moreover, the better educated the immigrants are or become, the higher their contribution to growth will be.

Global economic policy uncertainty will influence economic stability among countries integrated into international trade. The trade war between America and China has affected the weakening of macroeconomic indicators in developing countries, one of which is Indonesia. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of China's economic policy uncertainty and macroeconomic indicators, i.e., inflation, investment, and Brent oil price, on Indonesia's economic growth. Research data were secondary time series data taken from the Q1 2009-Q4 2018 quarterly period. The method of analysis used is the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Results showed that in the long run, the uncertainty of China's economic policy and Brent oil price could negatively influence Indonesia's economic growth. On the other hand, inflation, in the long run, had a positive and significant influence on Indonesia's economic growth. Meanwhile, investment did not have a significant influence on Indonesia's economic growth. Keywords: economic growth, uncertainty of economic policy, Vector Error Correction Model

AbstractThis research aims to empirically examine the contributions of Conventional Non-Bank Financial Intermediaries (Conventional NBFIs) and Islamic Non-Bank Financial Intermediaries (Islamic NBFIs) development on economic growth in Indonesia. This study used Vector Autoregression (VAR) and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to test the causality and long-run relationship between the two intermediaries by using time series data over the period spanning 2014 to 2017. The results show an evidence of bidirectional causality view and a long-run relationship between the development of Conventional Non-Bank Financial Intermediaries (Conventional NBFIs) and Islamic Non-Bank Financial Intermediaries (Islamic NBFIs) on economic growth in Indonesia. The result also proves that Islamic Non-Bank Financial Intermediaries (Islamic NBFIs) is more resistant to economic growth shock than Conventional Non-Bank Financial Intermediaries (Conventional NBFIs). Keywords: Conventional NBFIs, Islamic NBFIs, Economic Growth AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kontribusi perkembangan Industri Keuangan Non-Bank (IKNB) Konvensional dan Industri Keuangan Non-Bank (IKNB) Syariah pada pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan Vector Autoregression (VAR) pada Industri Keuangan Non-Bank (IKNB) Konvensional dan Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) pada Industri Keuangan Non-Bank (IKNB) Syariah untuk menguji hubungan kausalitas dan jangka panjang antara keduanya terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi.  Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini merupakan data time series bulanan dari periode 2014 hingga 2017. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan kausalitas dua arah (bidirectional causality view) dan hubungan jangka panjang antara perkembangan IKNB baik Konvensional maupun Syariah terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Hasil penelitian ini juga membuktikan bahwa IKNB Syariah lebih tahan terhadap shock  dari pertumbuhan ekonomi dibandingkan IKNB Konvensional. Kata Kunci: IKNB Konvensional, IKNB Syariah, Pertumbuhan ekonomi

Even though remittances constitute the second-largest source of foreign exchange for Nigeria, with a $24 billion inflow in 2018, its impact on economic growth remains unclear. This study, therefore, examined the short-run and long-run impact of remittances on the economic growth of Nigeria using the vector error correction model. Utilizing World Bank data covering 1990–2018, the empirical analysis revealed that remittances hurt economic growth in the short run while having no impact on economic growth in the long run. Our parameter estimates indicate that a 1% increase in remittances would result in a 0.9% decrease in the gross domestic product growth rate in the short run. One policy implication of this study is that Nigeria needs to devise policies and interventions that minimize the emigration of skilled professionals rather than depending on remittances that do not offset the losses to the economy due to brain drain.

Purpose The development in information communication and technology (ICT) has led to many changes such as reorganization of economics, globalization and trade. With more innovation processes being organized and adopted across technologies, trade, etc., these are getting more closely related and needs fresh research perspective. This study aims to empirically investigate the interrelationship between ICT penetration, innovation, trade and economic growth in 20 developed and developing nations from 1995 to 2018. Design/methodology/approach The present paper examines both long-run and short-run relationships between the four variables, namely, innovation, ICT penetration, trade and economic growth, by applying panel estimation techniques of regression and vector error correction model. ICT penetration and innovation indices are constructed using principle component analysis technique. Findings The findings of the study highlight that for developed nations, growth, trade and innovation are significantly interlinked with no significant role of ICT penetration While for developing nations, significant relationship is present between growth and trade, ICT penetration and innovation. With respect to trade, in case of developed nations, significant relationship is present with ICT penetration. While for developing nations there is no significant result for trade promotion. On further employing the vector error correction model, the presence of short run causality between growth, trade and innovation in case of developed nations is established but no such causality between variables for developing nations is seen. Originality/value The present paper adds to the existing strand of literature examining interlinkage between innovation and growth by introducing new variables of ICT penetration and innovation.

This research aims to know Impact of conventional banking financing and Islamic banking financing on economic growth 2008-2018. In this study the authors used a saturated sampling technique found in Non-Probability Sampling. The analysis technique used is VECM (Vector Error Correction Model). Based on the results of the study indicate that there is a one-way relationship on several variables, namely Conventional Banking Financing to GDP and Conventional Banking Financing to Islamic Banking Financing, In the long run, Conventional Banking Financing has a positive and significant relationship to GDP, whereas Islamic Banking Financing has a negative and significant relationship to GDP.Keywords: Banking Financing, Economic Growth, GDP (Gross Domestic Product), VECM (Vector Error Correction Model)
