The paper aims to model the outliers of the importation equations by using recursive robust estimation methods. Firstly, we use the test of Belsley to detect the aberrant points in the Moroccan importation data such agricultural machinery, sea boats, electric generators, motors-generators. We...

This research aims to study the nature of the relationship between the government spending and the private investment in the non-oil sectors of the Saudi economy through testing the crowding out effect during four decades and using the Bootstrapping technique. Firstly we use the Box-Cox...

This paper investigates the long-run relationship between the real private investment and the government investment in Saudi Arabia using a threshold cointegration test. The results show the stability of the private investment effect both above the threshold and mostly below the threshold. As if...

The purpose of this paper is to test the Ricardian Equivalence hypothesis REH by estimating a SVAR model. In this framework, we separate the co-movements of saving rate and budget deficit rate into two types of shocks, associated with structural parameters, as if we were looking for ‘’two...

The research aims to examine the relationship, whether complementary or substitutive, between inward FDI and gross domestic investment in the six GCC countries using cointegration techniques and fully modified GMM estimation. Based on the panel data during the period 1979-2010, the empirical...

The paper aims to examine the relationship, whether complementary or substitutive, between inward FDI and gross domestic investment in the six GCC countries using cointegration techniques and fully modified GMM estimation. Based on the panel data, the empirical evidence implies that in Qatar,...

Using a new panel cointegration test that considers serial correlation and cross-section dependence on a mixed and heterogenous sample of Saudi banks, we revisit the cointegrating equation of the z-score index of banking stability. Our results show that even when we consider the cross-section...
