Public regulations can increase economic growth by correcting market faults and decrease growth by consuming resources … between growth an regulation. The relationship is possibly non-linear with some level of regulation being optimal. We estimate … the relation by a fixed effect non-linear panel data regression model using a new semi-parametric estimator. The outcome …

it has a negative effect on economic growth. We use a combination of nonparametric (NP) and instrumental variable … semiparametric (SNP-IV) methods to obtain inflation thresholds for the United States. The results suggest that the relationship … between growth and inflation is hump shaped—that higher levels of inflation reduce growth more. Our results consistently show …

The recent literature on the aid-growth relation discusses two competing models: The Good Policy Model, where the key … Medicine Model is more robust. Neither model replicates outside the original data sample. Further, we apply a semi-parametric … regression technique to test for an unknown functional form of the aid-growth relation. It rejects that aid is statistically …

However, the recent financial crisis marks a turning point of China's role as a major driver of growth in the South. Namely …

In the last decades there has been increased interest in studying the impact of inequality on growth. Most of the … recent literature points to a negative impact of inequality on future growth but there are also models that argue in favor of … a positive relationship or a non linear one.
