Abstract The paper seeks to assess the industry-based effect of exchange rate volatility on export non-oil sector in Nigeria. Theoretically and empirically, volatility-trade link is ambiguous. employed bound test for co-integration between exports products. Empirically, results show that we can accept hypothesis no industries most cases. Therefore, study concludes actually produce negative shor...

This paper examines the effect of FDI activity on manufacturing exports in four MENA countries. The sensitivity of manufacturing exports and the share in manufacturing exports in total exports to two measures of FDI activity is tested. The findings of this analysis suggest that FDI activity may have a positive effect on the host country’s manufacturing exports. The magnitude of the effect howev...

The 'paradox of plenty' and the 'resource curse' hypotheses claim that abundance in natural resources, particularly oil, encourages civil war through a number of causal mechanisms. Natural resources provide both motive and opportunity for conflict, rent seeking slows down growth and renders state institutions weak thus creating indirect causes of violent conflict. Contrarily, the theory of the ...

As the world’s largest oil exporter, Saudi Arabia faces same pressures as any other government to expand its economy. Vision 2030 is reduce country’s reliance on exports and revenues. One of main goals increase share GDP that does not come from oil. Dynamic autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration used look at how goods than affect growth. The results dynamic ARDL simulation show the...

Four major components influence the growth of the gross domestic product in Chinese provinces: consumption, investment, transnational exports, and inter-provincial exports. By splitting a competitive input-output table into a non-competitive input-output table, this study used an input-output model to measure the contributions of the four components of gross domestic product in various regions ...

This paper examines how nominal uncertainty affects the choice firms face to serve a foreign market through exports or to produce abroad as a multinational. I develop a two-country, stochastic general equilibrium model in which firms make production and pricing decisions in advance, and I consider its implications for the relative attractiveness of exporting and multinational production. I find...

in this study, effects of multi walled carbon nanotubes and temperature on rheological behavior of engine oil (10w40) have been examined. for this purpose, the experiments were carried out in the temperature range of 5-55°c for several suspensions with solid volume fractions of 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75%. the viscosity of all samples was measured in the shear rate range of 666s-...
