Ebook Remittances, Exchange Rate Regimes and the Dutch Disease: A Panel Data Analysis

Submitted by puput on Tue, 12/28/2010 - 08:39

International migrant remittances have increased significantly over the last two decades. Remittances received by developing countries, estimated at $338 billion in 2008, increased by 263% compared with 2001 figures, and currently represent nearly 1.9% of total income in emerging economies (Ratha et al, 2009). Remittances are becoming increasingly important as a source of foreign income in terms of both magnitude and growth rate, exceeding the inflow of foreign aid and private capital in many countries. They currently represent about one-third of total financial flows to the developing world.

Free ebook Asymptotically optimal multistage hypothesis tests

Submitted by antoq on Thu, 10/30/2008 - 01:28

This thesis investigates variable stage size multistage hypothesis testing in three different contexts, each building on the previous. We first consider the problem of sampling a random process in stages until it crosses a predetermined boundary at the end of a stage -- first for Brownian motion and later for a sum of i.i.d. random variables. A multistage sampling procedure is derived and its properties are shown to be not only sufficient but also necessary for asymptotic optimality as the distance to the boundary goes to infinity.

Ebook Does External Debt Affect Economic Growth: Evidence from Developing Countries

Submitted by puput on Thu, 06/24/2010 - 06:41

Sustainable economic growth is of predominant concern for all economies, especially for the developing economies which commonly face burgeoning fiscal deficits mainly driven by higher levels of debt servicing, particularly external debt servicing and widening current account deficits. Economists have, therefore, focused to explore the channels through which external debt can possibly hamper economic growth, and came up with two competing hypothesis, i.e. debt overhang theory and liquidity constraint hypothesis. Over the time, various studies tried to explore the validity of these hypotheses, using different data sets and different methodologies. Some of these studies confirmed these hypotheses, while others could not. This paper is also an attempt to explore whether external debt has any direct effect on economic growth, and, does the external debt stock in developing countries affect the level of private investment. In addition this paper investigates the effectiveness of private investment for the economic growth.

Since developing countries are striving for sustainable economic growth, they need to control their escalating fiscal deficit. In order to bring it down, these countries are confronted with the challenges of increasing revenues, curtailing unessential public expenditures and expanding avenues for new investment that can derive these economies to higher growth trajectory path while limiting the current account deficit to sustainable levels. A part from that, as majority of these economies heavily rely on foreign borrowings, the international donor agencies commonly demand fiscal prudence, economic and political stability, sound banking system, lower cost of doing business, and an environment conducive for investment to ensure further assistance. To address these internal and external concerns, countries often take counterproductive measures by slashing essential capital expenditures that have a large damaging impact on long-run economic growth. Therefore, it is imperative for such economies to provide investment opportunities for the private sector while reducing the cost of doing business that can help them to progress and achieve a higher level of income with improved living standards.
