Islamic Fintech Growth Prospects in Accelerating MSMEs Growth: Evidence in Indonesia

The Growth Dynamism in the Islamic Countries

This paper has examined the phenomenon of convergence of per capita out put levels across the IC countries for the 1960-1998 periods. Three concepts of convergence, i.e., sigma beta and relative beta, have been used. The estimated beta values reveals only a very weak convergence (?=.0014) across IC for 1960-1998 period. But when a more homogeneous group of countries were selected, the results s...

Economic Growth in Chile: Evidence, Sources and Prospects

This paper reviews the Chilean experience of growth, with particular focus on the rapid growth that began in the mid-1980s, as the economy recovered from the crisis of 1982. This process slowed down in the late nineties. This paper also reviews the evidence on growth and decomposes the rate of growth and the level of output into its components.

However, when accounting for the different average growth performance across sectors, the beneficial impact of FDI is no longer apparent. ...

Growth index in an accelerating universe

We obtain the exact analytic form of growth index (f = Ωm(a) ) at present epoch in a flat universe with including the constant equation of state of dark energy (ωde). For the cosmological constant (ωde = −1) we obtain γ = 0.5547 which is very close to the well known value 6/11. However, if ωde = −0.9, then γ gives rise to 0.6405. Ω 0 m dependence of γ is fairly small for the viable range of the...
