A simultaneous three-equation model is specified between GDP per capita (GDPc) level, infant mortality rate and health expenditures for 194 countries from 1990 to 2014. GMM-2SLS estimation results indicate that simultaneous decreasing infant mortality rate and increasing GDPc level effects are...

Barro and Sala-I-Martin empirical framework of neoclassical Solow-Swan model is specified to determine the FDI impact on per capita growth in 74 Russian regions during period of 1996-2003.The Arellano-Bond GMM-DIFF methodology, developed for dynamic panel data models, is used in...

Enterprises in post-socialist and transition economies often participate in providing infrastructure and social services to the surrounding community. We argue that this bundling of social and infrastructure goods provision with an enterprise s core operations is a fully rational choice in an...

A framework based on a linear deterministic trend function is introduced in order to model growth convergence. The approach is a practical solution to the nonlinearity and nonstationarity found in the convergence of output-per-capita gaps between the USA and 14 OECD countries in 1946-1997....

Four alternative tests for nonstationarity and stationarity are analysed in detail for a typical macro-economic time series. The analysed tests (ADF, LMSP, KPSS and G(p, q) tests) are asymptotical tests for the type of process considered. The small sample simulations reveal that the empirical...
