Wealth sustainability has always remained a policy concern for policymakers in developing economies like Pakistan. This study has filled the gap by investigating weak sustainability and determinants of wealth accumulation for 46 years, from 1972 to 2017, in Pakistan. Wealth sustainability has been analyzed through the Genuine Savings (GS) Index.Moreover, the auto-regressive distributive lag (ARDL) model has been applied to find out the effects of wealth determining factors ̶ which include Government expenditure, real gross domestic product (GDP),real money market rate, life expectancy, and real money supply ̶ over wealth accumulation. Results of the GS estimate imply that during the reporting period, the economy is sustainable, and ARDL results show that the effects of government expenditure, real gross domestic product(GDP), and life expectancy on wealth accumulation are significant and positive in the long run, the effect of interest rate is positive but insignificant.
This study investigates the role of inflation as a mediator between currency depreciation and economic growth in Pakistan from 1972 to 2016. Using the Ng-Parron unit root test, the stationarity of the variables is determined. The outcomes of Ng-Parron unit root tests indicate that all variables in the model exhibit mix-order integration. This paper also employs the Autoregressive Distributive Lag Model (ARDL) to evaluate the relationship between currency depreciation, inflation, and economic expansion. The results show very clearly that the inflation rate does not play a role in the link between currency depreciation and economic growth in the
case of Pakistan.
This study looks into how the devaluation of the Pakistani currency affected remittances (REM) and economic growth (EG) in Pakistan. The study also looks at how REM affects the link between the devaluation of the currency and the growth of the economy in Pakistan Over the course of 45 years, from 1972 to 2016. The study uses Autoregressive Distributive Lag Model (ARDL) for examining the relationship. This study uses sensitivity analysis and chooses among different econometric techniques, which take into account the endogeneity problem. The results show that remittances partially mediate the relationship between the devaluation of currency and economic growth.Moreover, a one unit rise in REM leads to a 0.47 unit decrease in EG.
