This study examined a comparative analysis of government spending, external debt, domestic credit to private sector, exchange rate and net investment to non-financial companies from 1970 to 2017. The data was secondary sourced from World Development Indicators. The correlation results show a...

We set out dollar-valued net national product for an economy with a wasting essential stock (oil deposit). We take up 'maintaining capital intact' and locally unchanging consumption. The percentage change in 'net investment' or 'genuine savings,' relative to the market rate of interest, denotes...

This paper examines the Saving-Investment (S-I) relationship and the extent of capital mobility in India during the period 1970-2010. We find that S-I are cointegrated, but the error correction model exhibits structural instability on the onset of balance of payment crisis in the 1990s and...

In this paper we analyse the impact of policy uncertainty on foreign direct investment strategies. The paper follows the real options approach, which allows to investigate the value to a firm of waiting to invest and/or disinvest, when payoffs are stochastic due to political uncertainty and...

Purpose - This paper introduces previously missing financial components(efficiency, activity and size) in the assessment of the finance-investment nexus. Design/methodology/approach - VAR models in the perspectives of VECM and short-run Granger causality are employed. Usage of optimally...

The extent to which domestic and foreign operations of multinational corporations (MNCs) are related has important implications for the analysis of investment demand and its responsiveness to tax policy. We estimate the structural parameters of a model in which domestic and foreign investment...

This paper studies the behavior of investment during demographic transitions. In particular, I focus on the period where the working age to population ratio reaches its maximum, namely the demographic window. I document that in Europe, Asia, and Oceania investment rates are higher 15 years...

This paper argues that the 40-year-old Feldstein-Horioka "puzzle" (i.e., that in a regression of the domestic investment rate on the domestic saving rate, the estimated coefficient is significantly larger than what would be expected in a world characterized by high capital mobility) should have...

This study examines the complementarity or substitutability of regional capital mobility to global capital mobility within the Sub-Saharan African (SSA) economies. With a re-specified inter-temporal consumption framework, the savings-investment correlation of the Feldstein-Horioka (hereinafter...
