“…As can be seen in Table 2, during first two decades of transition the levels of government consumption, average number of years of schooling and ratio of money supply to GDP in CEE economies were very strongly correlated. These solid evidences of multicollinearity prompted us to 17 See Table 1 for a detailed description of the variables appearing in equation (1). 18 Thus ,6} … {1, ∈ k in case of our dataset.…”

This paper examines the role of various aspects of globalization for economic growth in ten CEE economies. In contrary to previous papers, we restrict our analysis solely to the first two decades of transition. Using the globalization indexes published by the Swiss Economic Institute, we found strong and robust evidence of growth-stimulating effect of globalization processes, especially in social and economic dimensions. On the other hand, the role of political dimension of globalization was not found to be statistically significant in any research variant.The result, which seems to be particularly interesting, is that development of the Internet, television and trade in newspapers (the social dimension of globalization) had at least as strong positive impact on economic development in CEE economies in first two decades of transition as rise in international trade, growth of foreign investment, reduction of import barriers and development of taxes policy (the economic dimension).

“…The empirical results indicate that imports have impacted positively India's economic growth in the short run and thus, conclude that the imports may have played an important role in India's recent economic growth. Çetintaş and Barişik (2009) analyzed the relationships between export, import and economic growth for the 13 transition economies.…”

In a developing country like India, the role of international trade is very significant. And, the relevance of export-led growth hypothesis in India has been the major issue of many empirical studies. But, the other aspect concerning the importance of imports in the economic growth of the country is yet a moot point. This article is an attempt to investigate the dynamics of the relationship between imports and economic growth in India for the period 1970-1971 to 2009-2010. Using time series techniques such as vector error correction estimates and Granger causality tests, we show the existence of a two-way relationship between import growth and income growth in the long run.

“…In the case of the imports, for example, they have a positive effect on the domestic income if they are the imports of capital goods for domestic investment [40,41], and the effect is negative concerning the imports of consumption goods [9,42]. In the case of migrant transfers, the effect on the domestic income is ambiguous.…”

This paper has two objectives: to characterize the exposure of developing countries to the international income, prices and monetary shocks and to calculate the social well-being in the period of contagion. Firstly, we develop a theoretical model with a world composed of two countries (developed and developing countries) and measure the level of the exposure of income in developing country to the external shocks trough external trade, international tourism, migrant transfers, external debt, foreign aid, FDI and other private financial flow channels. And, we characterize imported inflation in studying the effect of the international shocks on real exchange rate. Secondly, we search the social well-being. The results suggest that economic disequilibrium in developing country is socially optimal and that the dependence of its income to the domestic industry is necessary to reduce contagion. This conclusion is important for African countries because they import finished products for the households' consumption. In these conditions, they are exposed to the imported inflation. The domestic monetary and tax policies are not adapted to fight against inflation. Also, they produce and export raw materials essentially toward industrialized economies. Thus, they must develop the domestic industry in order to influence the demand (or prices) of raw materials and to substitute imports by domestic goods in period of hyper-inflation in advanced economies in order to reduce imported inflation.
