This study empirically tests for long-run equilibrium relationship and the direction of causality between imports and energy consumption in Singapore. The results of the present study reveal that a long-run equilibrium relationship exists between import growth and energy consumption growth in...

<title>Abstract</title>This paper investigates the relationship between inflation, economic growth and their respective uncertainties in Iran for the period of 1988-2008 by using quarterly data. We employ a Bivariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity-in-Mean (BGARCH-M) model to examine...

This paper provides new evidence on the long-run relationship between exports and imports of the Iranian economy by employing bounds testing approach to level relationships. In Iran, there have been many unusual policy changes and/or external shocks to the economy; this has resulted in the...

This paper provides new evidence on the long-run relationship between exports and imports of the Iranian economy by employing bounds test approach to level relationship. In Iran, there have been many unusual policy changes and/or external shocks to the economy which resulted in the occurrence of...

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the possible co-integration and the direction of causality between financial development, international trade and economic growth in India. Design/methodology/approach – Annual data covering the 1965-2004 period have been used to investigate...

This article investigates the relationship between Exchange Market Pressure (EMP) and macroeconomic fundamentals in Turkey using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing procedure and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) within the framework of the canonical currency crisis...

This study empirically investigates the role of trade policy along with physical capital, human capital and labour force on economic growth in an isolated economy (i.e. North Cyprus). We use a sample of quarterly and seasonally adjusted data covering the period 1978Q1-2002Q4 to evaluate whether...

Purpose – To analyze the impact of agricultural sector on the economy of North Cyprus, which suffers from political problems and drought over the years. Design/methodology/approach – Annual data covering 1975-2002 period has been used to find the direction of causality in Granger sense...

This paper examines the relationship between natural gas consumption and economic growth in Iran within a multivariate production model. We also investigate the effects of natural gas price on its consumption and economic growth using a demand side model. The paper employs bounds test approach...

The present study investigates the long-run equilibrium relationship among international tourism, energy consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), and the direction of causality among these variables in the case of a small island, Cyprus, which attracts more than 2 million international...
