The developing countries multiply incentive policies to attract foreign direct investment, to benefit from positive effects of "spillovers".. The objective of our paper is to check first whether the impact of these flows is automatic or otherwise requires a number of conditions within the host...

This paper analyzes the effects of financial sector deepening on economic growth using a province-level data set for 1996-2001 on Turkey. This period is associated with a weakly regulated and relatively unsupervised expansion of the banking sector which led to the 2001 financial crisis. Contrary...

This study examines empirically the relationship between FDI and economic growth using heterogeneous panel for the period 1983-2008. The empirical findings of Larsson panel co-integration show that FDI and economic growth are cointegrated. FMOLS results reveal that FDI and economic growth are...

Despite plausible theoretical grounds for presuming a positive relationship between foreign direct investment inflows (FDI) and economic growth, existing empirical evidence on this nexus is inconclusive. In an effort to add to the empirical literature, this paper estimates the relationship...

This paper argues that the effect of a financial stimulus on growth can vary along quantiles of the conditional growth distribution. We support this argument by presenting a theoretical finance–growth model, mainly inspired by Pagano (1993) and Canarella and Pollard (2004), where quantile...

This paper investigates the nexus between economic growth and defense spending for three adjacent countries, namely Greece, Turkey and Cyprus. Greece and Cyprus, members-countries of European Union spend much more money than other member countries of EU relatively to their GDP. Turkey is in...

While there is ample evidence on the linkage between public debt and economic growth for national economies, far fewer investigations have been carried out at the subnational level. In this paper, we therefore study the long- and short-term relationship between regional public debt intensities...
