We study the negative correlation between natural resource-abundance and long-term income focusing on the savings-investment … the issue. In this model, savings adjust downwards to income from natural resources, and investment in capital contributes … income through savings and investment. Natural resources have two counteracting effects on income. In the short term …

In this paper, we show that Adam Smith pointed out the existence of the Feldstein-Horioka Paradox or Puzzle and even gave an explanation for it more than 200 years before the publication of Feldstein and Horioka (1980). Smith argues that it is the pursuit of their own security that leads owners...

This paper aims to investigate the relationship between financial liberalization on the one hand and saving, investment … investment (although there are some signs to believe that liberalization may actually reduce rather than increase domestic saving …), whereas it is positively associated with private investment, as well as with per capita GDP growth. We find a negative …

The temporal interdependence between saving and output has been in focus in a number of recent empirical studies. Results from these studies have compelled some authors to question the traditional notion of a causal chain where saving leads growth through capital accumulation. This paper...

Applying a probabilistic causal approach, we define a class of time series causal models (TSCM) based on stationary Bayesian networks. A TSCM can be seen as a structural VAR identified by the causal relations among the variables. We classify TSCMs into observationally equivalent classes by...

In this paper we propose a general method for testing the Granger noncausality hypothesis in stationary nonlinear models of unknown functional form. These tests are based on a Taylor expansion of the nonlinear model around a given point in a sample space. We study the performance of our tests by...

The paper examines the causal relationship between FDI and economic growth by using an innovative econometric methodology to study the direction of causality between the two variables. We apply our methodology, based on the Toda-Yamamoto test for causality, to time-series data covering the...
