“…The results both support the neutrality hypothesis, meaning that there is no causal relation between FDI and GDP. These results are in line with of (Sabir et al, 2015) and (Shawa & Shen, 2013) and differ from ((Insah, 2013); (Dogan, 2014) and (Sothan, 2017)…”

Foreign Direct Investment continues to play an essential role in developing economies and around the world. The linkage between foreign direct investment and economic growth is crucial for policy implication for the host country. Numerous studies have been conducted between foreign direct investment and economic growth, yet no agreement has developed. Therefore, it is viable to examine the nexus between foreign direct investment and economic growth in South Africa. The modified Toda-Yamamoto Granger causality test was used in this study covering time series data from 1970 to 2016. Unit root tests were employed to define the order of integration. The long-run relationship between the variables was determined using the Johansen co-integration test. To determine the direction of the variables Granger causality test was employed. The results indicated that both variables are integrated on order one I (1) after the first difference. The study confirmed a long-run relationship among the variables. The Granger causality test supports the neutral hypothesis, meaning that FDI does not Granger cause GDP and vice versa. Policymakers should focus on eradicating challenges that can affect inflows of FDI. This study contributes to the existing body of literature.

“…For that those countries can reduce the export taxes and trade barriers, inspire the industrial-based export, and develop quality control and skilled labor base training programs. The recent study by Sothan (2017) also supports the relationship between FDI and economic growth for Cambodia. He examines these two variables from 1980-2014 using VECM.…”

This paper examines the long-run and short-run relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows, exports, and economic growth in Sri Lanka over 1980-2016. The study implies Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to reveal the relationship between the variables. The study indicates that FDI inflows have a positive and significant relationship with economic growth in the long-run and short run. If FDI inflows increase, GDP growth will increase. But for exports, it has a negative and significant relationship with economic growth in the long-run. If exports increase, the GDP growth will decrease. Sri Lankan exports strongly depend on primary goods. There is a risk of finite resources and price volatility. It's not surprising for developing economy like Sri Lanka. Also, in the short run, exports have a positive and significant relationship with economic growth. If exports increase, GDP growth will increase significantly. The findings suggest that both FDI inflows and exports influence economic progress in Sri Lanka. Based on emerging market economies, FDI inflows are useful in improving the production process in the host country, and hereafter it will contribute to quality exports and the economic growth of Sri Lanka. Policymakers should emphasize to gear up all the barriers for the economic development of Sri Lanka.

“…At present, they continue to listen to their kin support network and subconsciously or consciously believe that this network is important for their health and the health of their child. However, projected estimates of greater affluence for Cambodians as the country's economy continues to grow [36], with accompanying continued improvement in the "Western" biomedical system, will give future Cambodian mothers a greater support network outside of their female kin. This will encourage the women who already perceive some disadvantages of consumption to feel greater empowerment in rejecting the advice of their kin to use bear products.…”

Background: The consumption of bear gallbladders and bear bile in Southeast Asia is a persistent threat to bear populations. As part of a larger effort to understand the characteristics of bear part consumption in Cambodia, we uncovered a consumer base of women seeking treatment for post-partum and uterine ailments. Methods: To better understand this aspect of consumption, we interviewed 122 women in seven different provinces in Cambodia, probing into the motivations and influences for using bear bile, as well as what types of ailments Cambodian women use it for. Results: We found that it is generally used by young or expecting mothers, and for such issues as post-partum "fatigue" (toas in Khmer), which could encompass post-partum depression. A desire to be supported by kin networks seems to facilitate the continued use of bear gallbladder and bile for these purposes. Conclusions: We suggest that efforts to reduce consumption should focus on encouraging older kin to change their means of support to Western/biomedical and by extension non-wildlife alternatives.
