This study aims at investigating the nature of the causal relationship between immigration and two macroeconomic indicators, GDP per capita and unemployment, in Sweden using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing procedure and Granger-causality within vector error correction model (VECM) based on annual data spanning the period between 1980 and 2004. Results of the ARDL bounds tes...

This paper investigates the relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth by using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach and vector error-correction models (VECM) in Cameroon, Cote D'Ivoire, Congo, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Guatemala, Kenya, Senegal, Togo and Zambia for period 1970-2010. The ARDL results show that there is cointegration relation between ...

Article history: The study investigates the impact of trade openness on economic growth in the long run. We apply the ARDL Accepted 28 July 2012 bounds testing approach to test for a long run relationship and the augmented production function by incorporating financial development as an additional determinant of economic growth using the framework of

This thesis explores the kinematics and control issues associated with an approach to manipulation that employs all of the available surfaces of a robot to interact with the workspace. This thesis explores manipulations of this type which we term whole-arm manipulation (Wi\.LVI). A classification of WAM tasks into pushing, searching, enclosure, and exclusion is presented and examples of each ar...

JEL Classification: F16, F43 This study examines the impacts of CO2 emissions on economic growth of Vietnam for the period 1986-2015 by using Autogressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The results reveal that there is cointegration relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth. In the long run carbon dioxide emissions have a significant negative impact on Vietnam economic growth. There...

This paper investigates the relationship between reel macroeconomic variables and stock prices in Turkey. Consumption expenditures, industrial production index, employment level and fixed investments are used as indicators of real economic activity and consumption price index as an indicator of inflation. The ARDL bounds testing is applied to the long-run relationship between the variables. Our...
