The Effects of Capital Flows on Economic Growth in Senegal

Abstract: This article examines the effects of capital flows on economic growth in Senegal using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) over the period 1970-2014. Overall, our results show that remittances cause economic growth in Senegal in the long run. In contrast, external debt has a negative impact on economic growth. The ARDL results, however, show no cointegration between aid and growth or between foreign direct investment (FDI) and growth. The Quandt-Andrews breakpoint test selects year 1991 as the most likely br… Show more

“…The result of direct investment having a negative impact on economic growth does not support the endogenous theory propounded by the classical theory that emphasised the importance of direct investment on the growth of the economy and the study also contradicts the findings of [22,5,23] because the findings show that domestic investment in Nigeria has a negative impact on growth in both the short-run and longrun. However, the result supports other studies carried out by [31,32,33] that domestic investment may not necessarily have a favourable impact on economic growth.…”

“…In order to generate the growth avenues in the host countries through foreign aid, both composition and quantity are important elements (Mavrotas, 2002; Wamboye, Adekola, & Sergi, 2014). Apparently, in Senegal, foreign aid and remittances have influenced economic growth positively in the long run (Adams, Klobodu, & Lamptey, 2017), whereas an empirical study of East European countries suggests that the impact of foreign aid on economic growth over the study period, that is, from 1993 to 2002, has remained insignificant (Bhandari, Dhakal, Pradhan, & Upadhyaya, 2007). Similarly, an analytical study carried by Boone (1996) in 96 countries reveals that foreign aid’s influence on economic growth and poverty alleviation has provided inconclusive outcomes.…”

“…International capital flows play a significant role in a country’s macroeconomic and financial stability framework. Therefore, enormous investigations have been made in the empirical literature connecting capital flows with different macroeconomic and financial variables such as economic growth (Combes et al , 2017; Adams et al , 2017; Kodongo and Ojah, 2017; Adams and Klobodu, 2018; Adekunle and Sulaimon, 2018; Lasbrey et al , 2018; Comes et al , 2018; Bouchoucha and Ali, 2019; Ali and Mna, 2019; Opoku et al , 2019; Ikpesu, 2019). Also, between capital flows and employment and productivity (Baldwin, 1995; Zukowska-Gagelmann, 2000; Liu et al , 2001; Driffield et al , 2009; Girma et al , 2015; Li and Tanna, 2019).…”
