This paper revisits, empirically, the question of whether the choice of exchange rate regime (floating currency, fixed rate or intermediate arrangement) has a direct effect on the long-term growth of developing countries. We use fixed effects panel estimation on a relatively large sample of 70...

What is the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and portfolio investment flows on the economic growth of low-, lower middle- and upper middle-income countries? In this article we address this question using a dynamic panel model and a large data set of 126 developing countries for the...

This article examines the impact of the level and volatility of the real exchange rate on UK foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows from the seven major countries of origin of the investment over the period 1975-2001. We use both fixed effects and dynamic generalized methods of moments (GMM)...

Purpose – The aim of the study is to investigate the relative significance of the determinants of disaggregated capital flows (foreign direct investment and portfolio flows) to five developing countries, across different time horizons. Design/methodology/approach – An empirically tractable...

This article tests for stochastic convergence in UK regional house prices using the recently developed pairwise approach. This approach allows for unit root tests to be conducted on all <italic>N</italic>(<italic>N − </italic>1)/2 possible pairs of house price differentials across <italic>N</italic> regions in the UK, thus avoiding the...

Using UK quarterly data, we re&dash;examine the nature and degree of the relationship between savings and investment by means of a newly developed bounds testing procedure to cointegration within an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) framework. Our finding of cointegration in all samples...

This paper investigates the impact of exchange rate volatility on UK exports to European Union (EU) countries by means of a newly developed ARDL bounds testing procedure to cointegration. Using monthly data disaggregated by market of destination and sectors for the period 1993ml to 2001m6, our...

Using a unique database of end-user local energy data and the recently developed Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration, we estimate the long-run elasticities of the Namibian energy demand function at both aggregated level and by type of energy...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of a menu of country-pair exchange rate regime combinations upon bilateral foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use panel data from 27 OECD and non-OECD high income countries for the...
