Arouri, Mohamed; BenYoussef, Adel; M'Henni, Hatem; … - 2014
African countries over the period 1988-2010. Our results show that growth and energy use are strongly linked in Africa …We make use of a bootstrap panel analysis of causality between energy use and economic growth for a sample of sixteen …. However, African countries are heterogeneous and there is no "one way" recommendation about energy-growth relationship that …

Environmental Regulation and Competitiveness: Evidence from Romania
Arouri, Mohamed El Hedi; Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; … - In: Ecological Economics 81 (2012) C, pp. 130-139
Stricter environmental regulations may increase costs and thereby may lead to a loss of competitiveness which implies a decline in exports, increase in imports and in the long term a shift of pollution intensive industries from countries with stringent regulations towards those with less strict...

Environmental Regulation and Competitiveness: Evidence from Romania
Arouri, Mohamed El Hedi; Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; … - CESifo - 2012
According to the pollution haven hypotheses differences in environmental regulation affect trade flows and plant location. Specifically, environmental stringency should decrease exports and increase imports of “dirty” goods. This paper estimates a gravity model to establish whether the...

The Impacts of the Dollar-Renminbi Exchange Rate Misalignment on the China-United States Commodity Trade: An Asymmetric Analysis
Ferjani, Sabrine; Saafi, Sami; Nouira, Ridha; Rault, … - 2022
Contrary to most existing studies of the literature that assumed that the effects of real exchange rate (RE) misalignment on trade flows are symmetric, this paper considers a more general and realistic framework allowing for possible asymmetric effects. We use monthly time-series data over the...
