This study endeavour’s to identify in detail the behaviour of investment and saving in Pakistan's economy. Both investment and saving have a dynamic role in economic growth and development. Gross domestic product, remittances, income, dependency rate, taxes, labor participation rate, national saving, and national investment are included as independent variables for this study; data were obtained from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics and World Bank for the years (1980-2016). The results show that the relationship between Investment and Interest rate is negative, while the relationship between saving and interest rate is positive. There is a dire need to review the monetary policy issued by the State Bank of Pakistan.

Patrick McGowan has recently attempted to examine the relationship between ‘Economic Dependence and Economic Performance in Black Africa’ in this Journal, Vol. xiv, No. I, March 1976, pp. 25–40. His article reemphasised the need for concrete analysis since the generalities of ‘dependence’ have been more extensively studied than their concrete expressions. However, a fundamental problem of his analysis is that the criteria for verifying the theory of dependence are unrelated to the theory itself: the ‘test’ devised is a series of correlations between measures of dependence and indicators of economic performance, since ‘the theory [of dependence] predicts that dependence is negatively associated with indicators of economic growth and development’ (p. 27). Part of the problem is that McGowan does not really define ‘dependence’, but in addition it is not at all clear why this is expected to be negatively associated with indicators of economic growth.

<p><em>This study aimed toknow the relationship and the pattern between economic growth and inequality of economic development in East Java at 2004- 2013. It is determined by the characteristics of development policy area in East Java at 2004- 2013.This research is carried out in East Java province that contains of 29 regencies and 9 cities. They are divided into 4 Bakorwil. This research uses the secondary data, then analyzed by analysis technique of Williamson Index to measure development inequality, correlation of moment product and Regression Curve Estimation.The results of this research are (1) the relationship pattern between economic growth and development inequality tends to be “U” so Kuznets hypothesis does not apply in East Java, and the correlation value of product moment does not significant so the relationship economic growth and development inequality cannot be described. (2) In each Bakorwil, the relationship pattern between economic growth and inequality of economic development is influenced by the characteristics of development policy area in East Java province, likewise with its correlation.</em></p>

The article is devoted to the study of the content of the relationship between the labor force reproduction with such factors of labor activity as informal employment and labor precariatization. These factors impede the enrichment of the informal employer’s work content, the improvement of their qualifications, and, consequently, the qualitative reproduction of the labor force. On a society scale, they are a brake on economic growth and economic development, considered in the context of the interaction of productive forces and social and labor relations. The article reflects the results of the study and the quantitative assessment of informal employment in the Russian Federation, as one of the sources of the formation of the precariat, which are presented in statistics according to the OKVED-2 classification. Based on the results of the study, a system of measures aimed at reducing the potential of informal employment and precariatisation of labor was proposed in order to create more favorable conditions for the reproduction of the labor force, economic growth and development.

In this paper, we discuss the relationship between the level of economic development and the size of the stock market relative to the total economic output. We find a positive relationship and statistically significant regression coefficients between gross national income per capita and total stock market capitalization to gross national income for each year from 1994 to 2003 for between seventy-eight and one hundred and two countries. A well developed stock market facilitates capital allocation in an economy which is necessary for economic growth and development and provides the large pools of funds to successful entrepreneurs needed for corporate growth.

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between stock market development and the Opacity Index for 2005/2006, 2007/2008, and 2009. The role of financial institutions in promoting economic growth and development is well established. The specific role of the stock market in economic growth and development is to provide capital to entrepreneurs and growing companies and to direct capital to companies that provide the highest rate of return. The Opacity Index is a measure of transparency for an economy and measures the degree of transparency in an economy. We find a statistically significant relationship between the Opacity Index and the ratio of stock market capitalization divided by GDP for a sample of 45 countries for which the Opacity Index is provided.

Penelitian ini menggunakan alat analisis regresi berganda dengan metode OLS (Ordinary Least Square) untuk mengetahui pengaruh antara variabel bebas dan variabel terikat. Hasil penelitian menyatakan berdasarkan uji t statistik variabel inflasi dan suku bunga kredit tidak signifikan terhadap investasi di Indonesia, sedangkan variabel tenaga kerja dan teknologi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap investasi di Indonesia. Simpulan dari penelitian ini adalah ada 2 variabel yang menunjukan hasil signifikan yaitu tenaga kerja dan teknologi, serta 2 variabel yang tidak signifikan yaitu inflasi dan suku bunga kredit. Investment is an important factor for economic development because of the investment fund may be transferred to productive business ventures that will stimulate economic growth. This study aimed to determine the effect of inflation, interest rates on credit, labor and technology to investmen in Indonesia.
