This paper examines the causal relationship between exports and growth in nine provinces of South Africa for the period 1995-2011, using panel causality analysis, which accounts for cross-section dependency and heterogeneity across regions. Our empirical results support unidirectional causality...

This study re-examines the causal linkages between military expenditures and economic growth for the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and that for the USA for the period 1988-2012. Panel causality was examined to explain dependency and heterogeneity across...

This paper analyses the causal relationship between housing activity and growth in nine provinces of South Africa for the period 1995-2011, using panel causality analysis, which accounts for cross-section dependency and heterogeneity across provinces. Our empirical results support unidirectional...

This paper examines the causal relationship between oil consumption and economic growth in the BRICS countries using annual data from 1985 to 2011. We employ a bootstrap panel causality approach based on meta-analysis in heterogeneous mixed panels which accounts for both cross sectional...

This paper re-examines the nature of the causality between natural gas consumption and economic growth in G-7 countries using a Granger causality procedure based on meta-analysis in heterogeneous mixed panels which takes into account cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity across countries....

This paper examines the causal relationship between renewable energy consumption and economic growth for the G7 countries using annual data from 1990 to 2011. We implement a bootstrap panel causality procedure which allows us to circumvent the data limitation while accounting for the...

This paper analyses the causal linkages between nuclear energy consumption and economic growth for a panel of six developed countries including Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the UK and the US. Using annual data from 1971 to 2011, a Granger causality procedure based on meta-analysis in...

This paper empirically analyses the causal linkages between coal consumption and economic growth in the BRICS countries using annual data from 1985 to 2009. We apply a panel causality methodology that accounts for both cross-section dependence and heterogeneity across countries. Empirical...

This paper examines the causal relationship between imports and growth in nine provinces of South Africa for the period 1996-2011, using panel causality analysis, which accounts for cross-section dependency and heterogeneity across regions. Our empirical results support unidirectional causality...

This paper examines the causal relationship between the economic growth and research output of the BRICS countries (i.e., Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) for the period 1981-2011. Essentially this study looks at the human quality demonstrated by the production of knowledge...
