“…As was the case in Ranjok village, road construction continues to increase through village funds, be it road repairs or opening new roads, with the hope that the community can easily carry out economic, social and community activities. Sahoo et al (2010) found that infrastructure development significantly increased China's economic growth from 1975-2007. Furthermore, the causality relationship between infrastructure development to economic growth justifies that high government spending in China for infrastructure development has occurred since the early 1990s.…”

“…Consistent with recent literature on determinants of economic output, economic growth and TFP, six main control variables are adopted for the study: population, inflation, government expenditure, education, remittances and private domestic credit (Barro, 2003;Sahoo et al, 2010;Basu et al, 2014;Ssozi and Asongu, 2016a, b;Vu and Asongu, 2020).

PurposeThis study investigates (1) the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on total factor productivity (TFP) and economic growth dynamics and (2) the relevance of value added from three economic sectors in modulating the established effect of FDI on TFP and economic growth dynamics.Design/methodology/approachThe geographical and temporal scopes are respectively 25 Sub-Saharan African countries and the period 1980–2014. The empirical evidence is based on non-interactive and interactive generalised method of moments.FindingsThe following main findings are established. First, FDI has a positive effect on gross domestic product (GDP) growth, GDP per capita and welfare real TFP. Second, the effect of FDI is negative on real GDP and TFP while the impact is insignificant on real TFP growth and welfare TFP. Third, values added to the three economic sectors largely modulate FDI to produce negative net effects on TFP and growth dynamics.Practical implicationsPolicy implications are discussed with particular emphasis on the need to complement added value across various economic sectors in order to leverage on the benefits of FDI in TFP and economic growth.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to assess how value added from various economic sectors affect the relevance of FDI on macroeconomic outcomes.

“…In addition to providing fresh sources of capital in the context of scarce resources, FDI improves the development and internationalisation of domestic firms through linkages; and generates business and market opportunities for domestic investors. FDI can also create spillover effects and productivity gains through technology and knowledge transfers; imitation; skills development; and mobility of human resources (Beloumi 2014;Sahoo et al 2014). The Word Economic Forum (2011 stresses the importance of FDI for Arab countries in relation to job creation.…”

The present study seeks to examine the impact of international trade policies on unemployment for 10 Arab countries over the period of 1991 to 2014. In addition to various trade policies measurements, the present study takes into consideration various variables that represent macroeconomic distortion policies; a country’s economic size; the quality of government institutions; and labor market regulation. Using different proxies for trade policies, the results of the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) shows that trade liberalization policies appear to decrease unemployment rates over time. The finding supports contemporary calls to participate in international trade to facilitate job creation. However, further studies are required to identify the specific channels through which trade policies can affect unemployment in the Arab region.
