Purpose The paper investigates whether Granger causal relationships exist between bond market development, stock market development, economic growth and two other macroeconomic variables, namely, inflation rate and real interest rate. The study aims to expand the domain of economic growth by including a more in-depth analysis of the possible impact that bond market and stock market development has on economic growth than is normally found in the literature. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a panel data set of the G-20 countries for the period 1991-2016. It uses a panel vector auto-regression model to reveal the nature of any Granger causality among the five variables. Findings The paper provides empirical insights that both bond market development and stock market development are cointegrated with economic growth, inflation rate and real interest rate. The most robust result from the panel Granger causality test is that bond market development, stock market development, inflation rate and real interest rate are demonstrable drivers of economic growth in the long run. Research limitations/implications Because of the chosen research approach, the research results may lack theoretical foundations. Therefore, perhaps the more fully grounded interactive findings of this study can inspire theorists to fill the missing gap. Practical implications This paper includes lessons for policymakers in the G-20 countries seeking to stimulate economic growth in the long run and how they need to ensure greater stability of the interest rate and inflation rate as well as fully developing their financial markets, as both bond markets and stock markets are obvious drivers of economic growth. Originality/value This paper fulfills an identified need to study causal relationships between bond market development, stock market development, economic growth and two other macroeconomic variables, i.e. inflation rate and real interest rate.

“…The lower the EF value is, the more environmentally friendly the industrial processes or population’s consumption in the area will be. In the evaluation of the EF six main ecological land-use categories are considered, i.e ., forest land, fishing ground, arable land, built-up land, grazing land and land used for energy production [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]. Currently, aside from general EF, specific EF for individual factors influencing ecosystems are becoming more popular.…”

Abstract:The concept of green chemistry is widely recognized in chemical laboratories. To properly measure an environmental impact of chemical processes, dedicated assessment tools are required. This paper summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field of development of green chemistry and green analytical chemistry metrics. The diverse methods used for evaluation of the greenness of organic synthesis, such as eco-footprint, E-Factor, EATOS, and Eco-Scale are described. Both the well-established and recently developed green analytical chemistry metrics, including NEMI labeling and analytical Eco-scale, are presented. Additionally, this paper focuses on the possibility of the use of multivariate statistics in evaluation of environmental impact of analytical procedures. All the above metrics are compared and discussed in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. The current needs and future perspectives in green chemistry metrics are also discussed.

“…The empirical investigation will be conducted for the G‐20 countries, which consists of seven advanced countries, twelve developing countries 4 and the European Union. The G‐20 countries account for 65% of the world's population and close to 90% of world's gross domestic product (Fu, Turner, Zhao, & Du, 2015; Yao, Feng, & Hubacek, 2015).…”

Is there a link between economic growth and insurance and banking sector activities in the G‐20 countries?

Rapid technological development over the last three decades has enabled different sectors of the economy to be seamlessly integrated. This has had an important spill-over impact on the wealth of countries across the globe. In this paper we examine the inter-linkages between the banking sector and the insurance industry on the economic growth of the G-20 countries between 1980 and 2014. Using the vector auto-regression model and the Granger causality test, the study shows that in the long run, developments in the banking sector and insurance industry have had a significant impact on the economic growth of the G-20 countries. In the short term, the inter-relationships between the three factors prove to be more complex in that they differ by countries in different stages of development. Based on the empirical findings, this paper discusses the policies and strategies policy makers and banks and insurance companies should have in place in order to create sustained economic growth in an increasingly inter-connected world.
