Investigation of The Relationship Between Migration, Unemployment and Growth in the OECD Countries with Panel ARDL Technique

Abstract

Economic growth is typically accompanied by migration. Both factors are great important in the growth process. This study empirically examines the interaction between migration and economic conditions of the target country.In the period of 1990-2016, the panel data was analyzed by panel ARDL technique by using he annual data set in 19 OECD countries. Short and long term results were obtained. The long-term results show that migration flows contribute to the economic growth of host countries. Short-term results showed that migration flows had a negative impact on growth. On the other hand, as expected, in the long run, while the increases in employ 1 ment increase the GDP per capita, each increase in unemployment rate decreases GDP per capita. It is also possible to say that the migration is affected by the economic conditions of the host countries.

Impacts of COVID-19 on Trade and Economic Aspects of Food Security: Evidence from 45 Developing Countries

“…Although the use of this technique in food security studies has been very rare, many scholars have employed the method to identify both short-and long-run relationships between various macroeconomic parameters in developing countries. For instance, Öztürk and Özdil [92] used ARDL to investigate the interplays between economic growth and unemployment in the OECD countries, Elian et al [93] tested the relationship between foreign direct investment inflows and economic growth across the BRICS countries, and Appiah et al [94] studied growth determinants in emerging economies. To the best of the authors' knowledge, we have not been able to track previous applications of the ARDL method in studying availability or access-related parameters of food security.…”
