The Impact

Purpose This paper aims to compare the effects of Islamic and commercial banks on economic growth among the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries during 2001–2009 (before and during the financial crisis) and 2010–2017 (after the financial crisis). Design/methodology/approach The authors use a cross-sectionally correlated and timewise autoregressive (CCTA) model. The authors also extend the theoretical endogenous growth model developed by Pagano (1993) by introducing the developments in Islamic and commercial financial markets. Findings The authors find that Islamic banks fueled economic growth more than conventional banks before and after the financial crisis. The authors conclude that finance is a major determinant of economic growth, but finance does not follow economic growth. The results show that the ethical principles of Islamic finance can positively affect economic growth. Originality/value The authors contribute to the empirical literature first by examining feedback causality and cointegration between the banking sector and economic growth by examining the impact of the interaction between the banking sector and rule of law on economic growth in the GCC countries instead of a single country, second by providing both of the theoretical and empirical analysis and third by distinguishing between Islamic and conventional banks.

The Impact

This paper investigates the impact of sectoral foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth by validating the resource curse hypothesis in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Applying OLS (Fixed and Random effects), Instrumental Variables (IV) and Limited Information Maximum Likelihood (LIML) estimations, empirical results indicate that resource-FDI inflows hinder economic growth in the GCC economies, while non-resource FDI has an insignificant effect on growth. Moreover, the total Greenfield FDI inflows deter economic growth in GCC economies. These results give evidence on the crowding-out effect of resource-FDI. This paper opens new insights for policymakers in designing a comprehensive policy on direct FDI inflows (resource and non-resource) for attaining sustainable economic development for the long run.

The Impact

The paper considers the impact of the increase in retirement age on labor supply and economic growth. Combining own estimates of labor participation and demographic projections by the Rosstat, the authors predict marked fall in the labor force (by 5.6 million persons over 2016-2030). Labor demand is also going down but to a lesser degree. If vigorous measures are not implemented, the labor force shortage will reach 6% of the labor force by the period end, thus restraining economic growth. Even rapid and ambitious increase in the retirement age (by 1 year each year to 65 years for both men and women) can only partially mitigate the adverse consequences of demographic trends.

Model Algorithm

The subject of the research is the approach to the possibility of using the Solow model to perform the regression analysis on the example of the Ukrainian economy model. The purpose of writing this article is to investigate the notion of regres- sion analysis, Solow’s economy model, algorithm for performing regression analy- sis on the example of Ukraine’s economy model. This model can be adapted for the economy of enterprises. Methodology. The research methodology is system-struc- tural and comparative analyzes (to study the structure of GDP); monograph (when studying methods of regression analysis on the example of the Ukrainian economy); economic analysis (when assessing the impact of factors on Ukraine’s GDP). The scientific novelty consists the features of the use of the Solow model on the ex- ample of Ukrainian economy are determined. An algorithm for calculating the basic parameters of a model using the Excel application package is disclosed. The main recommendations on the development of the national economy and economic growth through the use of macroeconomic instruments are given. Conclusions. The use of the Solow model enables forecasting and analysis. The results obtained re- vealed the problem of low resource return of capital as a resource, along with the means of macroeconomic regulation of the investment process, using which can improve the situation. A special place in these funds belongs to the accelerated depreciation and interest rate policies.
