In this study we employed the ARDL bound test in order to detect cointegration relation of oil price and oil price fluctuation with GDP, exports and inflation in Pakistan. Our results confirmed cointegration among the variables when GDP was considered as dependent variable, while in case of...

To examine the impact of capital endowment and credit constraint on firms¡¯ FDI decisions, we build a model of investment portfolio based on heterogeneous firms setup. We find that financial factors matter for firms¡¯ internationalization. More capital endowment or less credit constraint...

Several recent papers argue that contracts provide reference points that affect ex post behavior. We test this hypothesis in a canonical buyer-seller relationship with renegotiation. Our paper provides causal experimental evidence that an initial contract has a highly significant and...
