The Causal Relationship among Foreign Direct Investment, Domestic Saving and Economic Growth in Jordan during the Period (1975–2013)

Abstract

The research aims at analyzing the causal relationship among Foreign Direct Investment, Domestic saving and Economic Growth in Jordan during the period .The Co-integration Test of Johansen shows that foreign direct investment and domestic saving are in the long run relationship with real income growth in Jordan. Whereas, the impact of foreign direct investment on economic growth is statically significant while the impact of domestic saving is not statistically significant on economic growth in the long run in Jordan.The results of error correction model show that: ECT (Error Correction Term) is 5.5619%, negative and statistically significant at α= 1% which means that the short run values of GDP converge it's long run equilibrium level by 5.5619% speed of adjustment every year by contribution of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Domestic saving (DS) in Jordan.Granger Causality Test show that foreign direct investment in Jordan is output and saving driven which means that if income and saving increases, Jordan will attract more foreign direct investment.

Determinants of Labor Demand in Somalia

“…Increases in predicted labor supply are outside the scope of our data collection efforts; we focus solely on the impact on labor earnings rather than pay rates (so that hours worked may be a secondary margin of adjustment in the future); and we measure just the impact on labor earnings. With the latter scenario, large numbers of people may be forced to leave the public sector and find work in the private sector, where they may face much greater salary cuts than we expect (Issa Salim Batarseh, 2007). This may become less of an issue when pay scales in the commercial sector start to resemble those in the public sector.…”

Globalisation and Economic Growth in India: An ARDL Approach

“…Improved human capabilities will surely enhance the productivity and economic growth of a country. Batarseh and Ananzeh (2015) examine the causal relationship between economic growth and FDI during the period 1975-2013 in Jordan. Using cointegration, Granger causality test and error correction model, the study finds uni-directional relation between economic growth and FDI in Jordan and not vice versa.…”
