The empirical evidence on the determinants of growth across countries has found that growth is lower when natural … resources are abundant, corruption widespread and educational attainment low. An extensive literature has examined the way in … which these three variables can impact growth, but has tended to address them separately. In this paper we argue that …

In this paper, we analyze the interaction between corruption, taxation and economic growth. Our contributions are … twofold. Theoretically, in an endogenous growth model, we introduce corruption in two different ways: corruption in the public … stronger the negative effects of taxation on the growth (ii) Once the negative effects of corruption are accounted …

We make use of a bootstrap panel analysis of causality between energy use and economic growth for a sample of sixteen … African countries over the period 1988-2010. Our results show that growth and energy use are strongly linked in Africa …. However, African countries are heterogeneous and there is no "one way" recommendation about energy-growth relationship that …

We analyze the interplay between longevity, pollution and growth. We develop an OLG model where longevity, pollution … and growth are endogenous. The authorities may provide two types of public services, public health and environmental … maintenance, that participate to increase agents' life expectancy and to sustain growth in the long term. We show that global …

uncertainty on capital inflows in such an economy generates long-term (expected) growth while the deterministic counterpart does … not. In this framework, long-term growth is entirely driven by precautionary savings. In particular, we show that the … asymptotic growth rate of the expected capital stock is an increasing function of both the risk parameter and the Arrow …
