The main research to identify the impact of fiscal autonomy,economic growth,openness access into inequality amongprovinces in Sumatera. For analyze the effect of the degree of fiscal autonomy, economic growth, and openness access to the inequality in Sumatera period2009-2013 withRandom Effect Method. The results explain fiscal autonomy are categorized low. Economic growthin Sumatera during the study period was also low. Openness access in Sumatera can be said is still not open to trade. Inequality in the Sumatera still quite high. The effect of fiscal autonomy to inequality is negative and significant. Economic growth to inequality is negative and significant, while the openness access is positive and not significant to inequality. Expected in Sumatera provincial governments to used maximum local revenue. Economic growth must observe and control the level of inequality. There should be a boost to the regions to be more active in trade traffic in Sumatera or National.

AN ANALYSIS OF CAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN MENA REGION COUNTRIES

Ponte Academic JournalFeb 2016, Volume 72, Issue 2 AN ANALYSIS OF CAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN MENA REGION COUNTRIESAuthor(s): Wan Fauziah Wan Yusoff ,Instisar J. GuimaJ. Ponte - Feb 2016 - Volume 72 - Issue 2 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2016.2.7 Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of capital market development on economic growth in MENA region (Egypt, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait) for the period of 2002 to 2014. Pooled Ordinary least square (OLS) regression for static panel data has been utilized in this study to test how selected countries that represent two different categories (oil exporters and non-oil exporters) would achieve higher economic growth rates as a group through pooling their capital markets. The results reveal that the 60% of indicators of capital markets development (number of Shares traded, Number of transactions, General index) in these economies together have significant impact on economic growth. Furthermore, the result proves that number of Shares traded, and General index have significant positive effect on economic growth, while Number of transactions has significant negative effect on economic growth. Finally, these outcomes recommend that Capital market development variables can used to reach the purposed growth for these economies. In the case of Control variables, the pooled model analyzed them beside the other variables. Among all the control variables (including GDP per capita, Investment, saving, inflation, exchange rate, and interest rate), just the saving variable has a positive significant effect on the economic growth. Based on the coefficient of the saving in the model is 0.0543297 and at level of 5%. seem to be statistically significant in explaining the changes in GDP. Hence, it is recommended that capital market development variables can be used to reach the growth for the economies of MENA region.

EDUCATION, HEALTH AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN AFRICAN COUNTRIES

This paper provides new empirical evidence concerning the relationship between human capital (measured by education and health related variables) and economic growth for a large sample of 49 African countries over the period from 1996 to 2010. Using traditional cross-section and dynamic panel techniques, we find that public expenditures on education and health have a negative impact on economic growth, whereas human capital stock indicators have a slight positive effect. Furthermore, our empirical investigations suggest that education and health spending are complementary. Then, public investment in education and health should be jointly increased and their efficiency in order to expect positive impact of human capital on growth in African countries.

ECONOMIC FREEDOM AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE IN FORMER SOCIALIST COUNTRIES - PANEL APPROACH

In this paper we will present theresults of our survey on Economic Freedom, andimpact of its individual categories on economic growthin former socialist countries which have joined theEuropean Union (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic,Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland,Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia). To measureeconomic freedom we will use The Index of EconomicFreedom published by the Heritage Foundation incooperation with the Wall Street Journal. We find thateconomic freedom has a positive, but statisticallyinsignificant impact on economic performance. Ourresult also indicates that individual categories of theEconomic Freedom have a different impact oneconomic performance.

Threshold Effects of Sovereign Debt: Evidence from the Caribbean

This paper addresses the issue of threshold effects between public debt and economic growth in the Caribbean. The main finding is that there exists a threshold debt to gross domestic product (GDP) ratio of 55–56 percent. Moreover, the debt dynamics begin changing well before this threshold is reached. Specifically, at debt levels lower than 30 percent of GDP, increases in the debt-to-GDP ratio are associated with faster economic growth. However, as debt rises beyond 30 percent, the effects on economic growth diminishes rapidly and at debt levels reaching 55–56 percent of GDP, the growth impacts switch from positive to negative. Thus, beyond this threshold, debt becomes a drag on growth.

Crecimiento económico y crisis en México, 1970-2009. Un análisis sexenal

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la evolución de la economía mexicana, a través del comportamiento del Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) real de México en el periodo 1970-2009. Para estimar la relación ENTRE PIB, exportaciones petroleras y no petroleras, se emplearon mínimos cuadrados ordinarios. La economía mexicana presentó un ciclo económico sexenal. Se registró el “valle” al inicio y final de cada sexenio, mientras que el “auge” en el segundo y tercer año. Con López Portillo se obtuvo el crecimiento promedio anual más alto, de 6.57%. Un aumento de 1% en exportaciones petroleras generó un incremento de 0.20% del PIB. La crisis económica actual se refleja por una disminución del PIB, al pasar de un crecimiento de 3.3% en 2007 a 1.8% en 2008, y -6.5% para 2009, aunado a un desempleo de 6.4% en septiembre de 2009.

THE IMPACT OF HIV/AIDS ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN SUB‐SAHARAN AFRICA1

AbstractThis study investigates the hypothesis that HIV/AIDS epidemic slows down the pace of economic growth. We examine 41 Sub‐Saharan African countries by using the empirical growth equation in an augmented Solow model in which health capital serves as a determinant of human capital. Econometric analysis is based on panel data and covers the period 1997‐2005. We control for a variety of factors possibly correlated with HIV prevalence that might also influence economic growth. As a key result we prove that the epidemic has a significant negative effect on the growth rate of per capita GDP in Sub‐Saharan Africa.

Undertherhythm ofpromises toreduceunemploymentand improve competitiveness, the result was fiercer competition, increasing asymmetry , and insecurity. Even thoughdata shows somegrowth intheeconomyand moreformalisationofworkers from 2005-9 there remain problemsthat havenotbeenovercome. Thejustice of markets, observedLuizGonzagaBelluzzo,is not distributive andtherights bornoutofcommercial relations acknowledge no fundamental principles other thanformal equality betweenproducers of goods: a situation wherethestrongest celebrate their orgies. Labour Law: a reactionagainst liberalorder The Industrial Revolution changedsubstantially thematerial conditions oflifein society. Homebasedworkshops gavewaytomills andfactories. On theone sideworkers weredeprived oftheir condition as producers and wereno longerable to own themeansofproduction: workers were forcedto become wage workers. On theother side,employers, as ownersofthemeansofproduction , would hirelabour,provideequipment, superviseits use, tradethe end product,pay wagesand makeprofits. The material conditions were ripe forthe birthof labour law, which wouldcomelater. A new modeofproduction brought new conflicts and undeniablesocial problems.A brutal inequality constituted capital-labour relations. But whilethosecircumstances increased exploitation, a homogeneous working classwas built. Workers andtheir organisations reacted. The liberalorderwas gradually undermined. Undera falseharmony, struggles and tensions endedup in twogreatworldwars.The first, an unprecedented violent warbetweenworldpowers ,started in 1914,followedby timesof high economic instabilityending in the Great Depression. Thecrises generated alloveran antiliberalresponse .Labourlaw is partofthiscomplexity . The historical, social,and politicalconditions for the birthof labour law were ready. Its autonomouscharacter was not acknowledged roughly untilthe end of FirstWorldWar.The International Labour Organisation, which emergedwiththe Treatyof Versailles in 1919, was a landmark asserting theroleofsociallaw. Withhumandignity as the starting pointand workers'humanconditionsat the core of its objectives, theILO stoodoutbybringing together thehuman,personalelementand thesocial, collective one,against thetideofa liberalism that did not accountforsocial issues. New labour laws introducedextra-market mechanisms for compensating inequalities, and consolidated the principle ofprotection. Perhapsno other branch oflawhassuchfeatures. Eventhough labourlaw has had sucha genesis,different countries have quite unique specificcircumstances thathave influenced thedevelopment oftheir own labour laws. In Brazil,the systematic construction of labourlaw tookplace after 1930.

Others would wanderand work here and there.Othersyet were marginalised in cities.After abolition, the social needs forlabour protection intensified. Nevertheless, material conditions forthebirth of sociallawwouldonlybe ripeafter 1930as industrialisation process. Vargas tookpowerin 1930.He wouldstruggle to overcomethecharacteristics thatmarkedthe country's economic,social, and politicalstructure :the remainders of slavery, patriarchy and monoculture inherited fromcolonialtimes;an essentially agrarian society; an economy subordinatedto a primary exporting model;sparseand unorganised urbanworkers;and non-universal and non-secret suffrage, withno femaleparticipation .Theproject was toindustrialise thecountry and turn itintoa modern nation. Brazil was essentiallyagrarian.During the 1920s, agricultural productionrepresented an averageof58percent oftheGDP whilethemanufacturing industry was only 23 percent.A recently emerged urbanproletariat hada number ofdemandsbutnottheorganic strength to triggera processof effective actualisation ofsocial protection rules.Thematerial conditions for their politicalstruggles was not the same as thatin 19th-century England,hence the importance of theStatetofoster actualisation.

The Impact of Property Rights on Households’ Investment, Risk Coping, and Policy Preferences: Evidence from China

Even though it is widely recognized that giving farmers more secure land rights may increase agricultural investment, scholars contend that, in the case of China, such a policy might undermine the function of land as a social safety net and, as a consequence, not be sustainable or command broad support. Data from three provinces, one of which had adopted a policy to increase security of tenure in advance of the others, suggest that greater tenure security, especially if combined with transferability of land, had a positive impact on agricultural investment and, within the time frame considered, led neither to an increase in inequality of land distribution nor a reduction in households' ability to cope with exogenous shocks. Household support for more secure property rights is increased by their access to other insurance mechanisms, suggesting some role of land as a safety net. At the same time, past exposure to this type of land right has a much larger impact quantitatively, suggesting that a large part of the resistance to changed property rights arrangements disappears as household familiarity with such rights increases.

Economía informal e innovación. Una aproximación global al problema

The informal economy affects innovation on multiples ways. On one hand,informality has a positive impact over the innovative activity because it increasescompetition levels and technology diffusion. However, on the other hand, informaleconomy decreases innovation incentives by reducing monopolisticbenefits that motivates innovation. In three economic models at the globallevel, the research found out that informal economy reduces local innovationdevelopment and it decreases the possibility to improve the economic growthin a country. Policy recommendations suggested would be the reduction ofinformal markets, improvements on intellectual property systems and theimplementation of free economics policies that benefit local innovation activity.

Economic Doctrines of Islam

Dr. Haq’s book belongs to the same group of issue-oriented studies in Islamiceconomics that Umar Chapra’s’ books do. However, unlike Chapra, who firstprovides a critical evaluation of the failed modem economic systems and thenestablishes the supremacy of Islam’s economic development strategy, IrfanUl Haq starts out with a comprehensive expository analysis of Islamic mnomicdoctrines. He then relies on extensive personal interpretation to derive andthen justify various policy prescriptions for the promotion of economic growthin an Islamic economy.The book contains four parts, which are divided into fourteen chapters. Thefirst five chapters in the first two parts discuss Islamic methodology and Islam’ssocial and political order. The book‘s major theme is included in the third andfourth parts where the author discusses most of the economic issues and policies.Since the controversial policy-oriented economic subjects are covered inthese parts, I will concentrate on the evaluation of these major economic subjects.These subjects include the proper role of the public sector, fard al-kifayahand its implications, interest-free financing, land ownership and tenure, taxation,poverty, employment, and the policies to provide economic essentials.Fard al-Kifayah and Its Implications for Economic PolicyIn discussing the principle of fard al-kifayah and the role of the Islamic statein providing public goods, Dr. Haq advocates a policy of nationalization ofresources as an appropriate policy for an Islamic state to follow. The same policyis extended elsewhere to include price fixing and direct control of the graintrade, and by implication, of all other commercial activity. Rather than providinga justification for such a policy on economic and Islamic grounds, he carriesout his entire discussion on the assumption that big government has the capacityand the means to solve all economic problems. This thesis, in my view, contradictsthe basic economic philosophy of Islam, which incorporates private initiativeand free enterprise with a primary focus on the individual as a decisionmaker and khurifah of God on earth. The author continues to overlook the factthat equity and efficiency are not complementruy, but often competitive. Anover-emphasis on the distributional justice of Islam creates an erroneous impressionthat in the Islamic worldview, economic growth and development are relegatedto a secondary role. This is not only incorrect, but it also contradicts thevery thesis of his book. Elsewhere I have elaborated on the Qur’anic view ofman and its implications for his economic role.land Ownership and TenureIn the beginning of chapter 10, the author correctly notes that Islam allowsland accumulation without any restrictions and recommends a balanced ...

Military Expenditures and Economic Growth in Less Developed Countries: An Augmented Model and Further Evidence

A study of the impact of military expenditures on economic growth and development examines the differences in the results of previous studies which led to contradictory conclusions. The authors find that these differences are due to sample variations, specificational choices, and the different time periods examined. The data indicate that there is no consistent, statistically significant connection between military spending and economic growth. Augmentation of the models suggests that military expenditures neither help nor hurt economic growth to any significant extent. 2 tables.

RAPID ECONOMIC GROWTH IN POST‐WAR JAPAN —With Special References to “Excessive Competition” and the Formation of “Keiretsu”

This article intends to analyse the “miraculous” economic growth of post‐war Japan from three points of view: the aqcquisition of investmnet funds by enterprises, the investment behaviour of enterprises, and the role of the government. It is revealed that the economy, after the dissolution of the pre‐war zaibatsu, has passed through a unique reorganization process, i.c., the formation of keiretsu. In this process there has been excessive competition among enterprises, and the competition has played the role of the driving force realizing the rapid economic growth.
