military spendings and economic growth in opec selected countries: granger causality test in heterogeneous mixed panels approach
Authors
abstract
this study investigates the causal linkages between military spending and economic growth in opec selected countries (i.e. algeria, angola, nigeria, venezuela, iran, kuwait, saudi arabia and ecuador) by focusing country-specific analysis for the period 1995–2012. for this, the panel causality testing approach, the method developed by emirmahmutoglu and kose (2011) based on the vector autoregressive (var) model and wald tests with the country specific bootstrap critical values, is applied. this test, accounts cross dependency and heterogeneity among the members of the panel and also, co-integration between variables. the results confirm the growth-military spending hypothesis for algeria, nigeria, iran and kuwait and verify the neutrality hypothesis for angola, venezuela, saudi arabia and ecuador. also, the growth-military spending hypothesis for the total panel is confirmed.

Public Expenditure and Economic Growth in Nigeria (A Granger Causality Approach) 1983-2012
This paper examines the impact of government expenditure on the Nigerian economy for the period 1983 - 2012. The government expenditure components used as the explanatory variables in the model are: expenditures on Health, Education, Defense, Agriculture and Transportation and Communication. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was used as a parameter for measuring economic growth. In order to esta...

This paper introduces the concept of homogeneous non-causality in heterogeneous panels. This concept is used to examine a panel of data for evidence of a causal relationship between GDP and carbon emissions. The technique is compared to the standard test for homogeneous non-causality in homogeneous panels and heterogeneous non-causality in heterogeneous panels. In North America, Asia and Oceani...

The main purpose of this study is to estimate the maritime transportation elasticities of the environmental pollution and economic growth in Iran within the short-run and long-run to find out the relationships among maritime transportation, environmental pollution and economic growth. The lagged endogenous model (a dynamic log-linear model that we used) is estimated using two distinctive ...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the short-run and long-run causality between renewable energy (RE) consumption and economic growth (EG) in nine OECD countries from the period between 1982 and 2011. To examine the linkage, this paper uses the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach of cointegration test and vector error-correction models to test the causal relat...

The correlation between GDP and research publications is an important issue in scientometrics. This article provides further empirical evidence connecting revealed comparative advantage in national research with effects on economic output. Using quantitative time series analysis, this study attempts to determine the nature of causal relationships between research output and economic growth. One...
