role of rising rates of investment. Because labor reallocation across sectors, TFP growth at the sector level and … investment are all inter-related, simple growth decompositions that are often used in the literature are not appropriate for … the same growth performance without any increase in the rate of aggregate investment. This has important implications for …

The results also suggest that increase in investment as a share of GDP predict higher growth rate … that this will lead to a dynamic factor model with the dominant unit acting as the factor. The problems of estimation and …

This paper evaluates the success of Inflation Targeting on inflation and growth on a large panel data set of both … authors have used different estimation methods on different samples of data. Some of the differences in results may also be … due to the different time periods (or different frequencies of data) used in the estimation. In this paper, we provide …

In the second estimation stage, these wage discrimination estimates are used in a … general-to-specific vector autoregression framework to test for the Granger causality between discrimination and growth. A … reduces economic growth, and economic growth lowers discrimination. Also, we find that higher unemployment rates are …

Does a country's level of unemployment have an impact on the long-run growth rate? Incorporating unemployment into a … generalised augmented Solow-type growth model, yields some answers to this question. In particular, we show that the impact of … unemployment on productivity growth heavily depends on the influence of human capital in the production function. In the …

This paper examines empirically the interaction between immigration and host country economic conditions. We employ panel VAR techniques to use a large annual dataset on 22 OECD countries over the period 1987-2009. The VAR approach allows to addresses the endogeneity problem by allowing the...

We empirically investigate the relationship between a country's economic complexity and the diversity in the birthplaces of its immigrants. Our cross-country analysis suggests that countries with higher birthplace diversity by one standard deviation are more economically complex by 0.1 to 0.18...
