Internet Education and Economic Growth: Evidence from Cross-Country Regressions
The effects of Internet education on economic growth are examined using a cross-section of 36 high-income countries. Internet usage rates are employed as a proxy for Internet education across countries. Regression results show that the frequent usage of the Internet has a positive and significant effect on economic growth. The estimated growth effect of Internet skills is also found to be great...
متن کاملAid and growth regressions
This paper examines the relationship between foreign aid and growth in real GDP per capita as it emerges from simple augmentations of popular cross-country growth specifications. It is shown that aid in all likelihood increases the growth rate, and this result is not conditional on ‘good’ policy. There are, however, decreasing returns to aid, and the estimated effectiveness of aid is highly sen...
متن کاملCointegrating Regressions with Messy Regressors: Missingness, Mixed Frequency, and Measurement Error
We consider a cointegrating regression in which the integrated regressors are messy in the sense that they contain data that may be mismeasured, missing, observed at mixed frequencies, or have other irregularities that cause the econometrician to observe them with mildly nonstationary noise. Least squares estimation of the cointegrating vector is consistent. Existing prototypical variancebased ...
متن کاملNonlinearities and Robustness in Growth Regressions
Much economic growth research has been devoted to determining the explanatory variables that explain crosscountry variation in growth rates. A frequently cited problem with this literature is that the number of potential growth regressors is vast, potentially exceeding the number of countries available for study. Thus, researchers are faced with the task of arbitrarily specifying which explanat...
متن کاملTESTING FOR AUTOCORRELATION IN UNEQUALLY REPLICATED FUNCTIONAL MEASUREMENT ERROR MODELS
In the ordinary linear models, regressing the residuals against lagged values has been suggested as an approach to test the hypothesis of zero autocorrelation among residuals. In this paper we extend these results to the both equally and unequally replicated functionally measurement error models. We consider the equally and unequally replicated cases separately, because in the first case the re...
