The researcher used the appropriate statistical analysis by using (ols) way and the (e-views) program. The study concluded a group of results, the most important of which is that the domestic investment affects and is affected by the gross domestic product as being one of its components. The domestic investment also did not have a positive role in the increase of the magnitude of national exports. The study concluded a group of recommendations, the most important of which is the increase of concern about domestic investment and the increase of incentives to productive sector as they are important in reducing the problems of both poverty and unemployment.

In the modern world, the exchange rate plays an important role in measuring the strength of country’s economy in global economic conditions. An exchange rate is an important tool for controlling various macro-economic variables, and it is itself affected by different macro-economic variables. Pakistan is a developing country of the world and its unstable economy faces high variability in the exchange rate or devaluation of the domestic currency. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship of an exchange rate with selected macro-economic variables (i.e. import, GDP, Inflation & export), with a special focus on Pakistan’s economy. It also aims at finding out the degree of strength at which selected independent variables to leave a significant impact on the exchange rate in the economy of Pakistan (i.e. during the period of 1992 to 2017). For this secondary database study, data extracted from official website of World Bank, State Bank of Pakistan and Economic Surveys of Pakistan. Multiple regression models were used to measure the empirical impact of selected independent variables on exchange rate. Findings show that the Import and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) have a significant negative impact on exchange rate whereas, export and inflation have a significant positive impact on the exchange rate in the economy of Pakistan. The study recommends that the Government of Pakistan should adapt to make its exchange rate policy more effective through high production, more export with a reduction of import and price stability.

A number of telecentres have been established in places like shops, schools, community centre, police stations and clinics. The population of Nigeria, according to the national population commission (NPC) figures stands at over 140, 000,000, and 60% of this number is made up of unemployed youths. With the institutions of learning in Nigeria churning out graduates of various levels and degrees on a yearly basis, a rising trend has seen these graduates coming out of the nation’s universities and polytechnics to join those who graduated ahead of them but without any means of livelihood for years. This chapter examines the role played by unemployment on the making of the Nigerian Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for a period of nine years (2000 - 2008). The objectives of the study are to examine the effects of unemployment on the Nigerian GDP for the selected years, to observe the kind of association that existing between the unemployment and the makings of the Nigerian GDP. Data was collected and analyzed using the regression analysis. Findings showed that unemployment has an enormous effect (over 65%) on the making of the Nigerian GDP, and there exists an inverse relationship between the model (unemployment) and the GDP - increase in the model leads to decrease on the GDP and vice versa. The role of ICT on unemployment and GDP is reviewed. In addition ICT as a tool of combating unemployment corruption is discussed. Recommendations are proffered based on the study that unemployment can be combated through the public sector reforms and the use of ICT.

This paper analysed the relationships between air passenger transport, tourism and real gross domestic product per capita (rGDPpc) in Africa. Mediation models were analysed using the structural equation modelling approach. This analysis determined the role of a mediator variable in the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Bi-directional positive relationships were found between air passenger transport and rGDPpc, tourism and rGDPpc, followed by air passenger transport and tourism. A certain proportion of air passenger transport’s total effect on rGDPpc was from increased tourism, and some of the rGDPpc’s total effect on air passenger transport were from increased tourism. A sizable effect of tourism on rGDPpc was derived from increased air passenger transport, and a larger portion of rGDPpc’s total effect on tourism was from increased air passenger transport. These percentages show the strength of the mediation (or indirect) paths. The findings imply that it is vital to consider harmonised or integrated policies that facilitate the linkages between air passenger transport, tourism and rGDPpc. Novel in this study, is the scrutiny of the interrelationships between air passenger transport, tourism and rGDPpc in Africa, using longitudinal mediation analysis.

  This study aimed to analyze the revenue of clearance tax in Palestine between the years (1997-2019), and to demonstrate the impact of the clearance tax crisis on the gross domestic product in Palestine. The study relied on the descriptive and analytical approach. And used the statistical analysis program STATA and SPSS 23, the study found that there is an effect of clearance revenues on GDP, and that an increase in one unit in clearing revenues leads to an increase of 4.319 unit in GDP, and that there are no statistically significant differences in GDP between the years that a crisis occurred and the years in which there was no crisis attributed to the clearance tax, and the study recommended reformulating economic understandings with Israel, the most important of which is the Paris Economic Protocol, and try to separate economically from Israel and push for the independence of the Palestinian economy, and reducing reliance on clearance tax revenues in financing the general budget due to the control of the Israeli occupation using it as a means of pressure on the Palestinian Authority.

This study examines the Role of Technology and Infrastructure in Driving Net Exports and Economic Growth. This study uses secondary data from world banks and processed regression using the moving average autoregression method. We find that when the development of supporting infrastructure for the economy is integrated with technology, there is a very large amount of technology imports so that net exports decline when this is done and economic growth occurs through the consumption process in the domestic market so that technology and economic infrastructure are positively related. However, technology is negatively related to the gross domestic product because the export push occurs but it is not comparable to technology imports so that the net export becomes negative.
