This article examines the effects of greenfield investment and M&As on domestic investment using panel data for 100 developing countries for the period 2003 to 2011. It is shown that while cross-border M&As do not have a significant effect on domestic investment, greenfield FDI has a large...

This study examines the export-led growth hypothesis using annual time series data from Chile. It addresses the problem of specification bias under which previous studies have suffered and focuses on the impact of manufactured and primary exports on the economic growth. In order to investigate...

This article examines the long-run impact of capital goods imports, intermediate goods imports, and exports of manufactured and primary goods on total factor productivity in Chile. Using cointegration techniques, we find productivity-enhancing effects of capital and intermediate goods imports as...

This study examines the long-run relationship between Chilean exports and imports during the 1975 to 2004 period using unit root tests and cointegration techniques that allow for endogenously determined structural breaks. The results indicate that there exists a long-run equilibrium between...

This note analyses the long-run impact of trade on population health by applying cointegration techniques to US time series data for the period 1960 to 2011. Despite the concerns of many commentators and observers, it is found that trade has a positive and significant long-run impact on...

Using cointegration and causality techniques, we find for Ireland that there is a negative long-run relationship between union density and income inequality and that causality runs in both directions.

This article examines the long-run effect of outward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on domestic output in developing countries. Using panel cointegration techniques, we find a significant positive long-run effect.

This article examines the long-term impact of government transfers on poverty in the United States using cointegration techniques. In contrast to most existing studies, we find that government transfers play an important poverty-reducing role.

We analyse Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) decisions by German firms with and without affiliates in the Czech Republic at different stages of transition. We find that FDI entry strongly depends on firm productivity immediately after the political and economic regime change, but less so with...

Our empirical estimations indicate that Aid for Trade (AfT) granted by OECD donors strengthens the trade relations of recipient countries with other developing countries. By focusing on South-South trade, we mitigate endogeneity concerns that have plagued analyses of trade between recipients and...
