The stability of cyclical growth within the context of a model in Matsuyama (1999) is examined. It is shown that but … cyclical growth is derived. The growth enhancing property of 2-cycles are shown to be retained by any cycle; the results of … simulation exercises carried out are reported to show that for very wide range of parameter values, such cyclical growth paths …

We conduct an extensive robustness analysis of the relationship between trust and growth by investigating a later time … period and a bigger sample than in previous studies. In addition to robustness tests that focus on model uncertainty, we …. We find that when outliers (especially China) are removed, the trust-growth relationship is no longer robust. On average …
