The long‐run relationship between ODA, growth and governance: An application of FMOLS and DOLS approaches

Abstract: Despite having received a significant amount of foreign aid for several decades, Africa is among the poorest regions in the world. This study examines the relationship between foreign aid, economic growth and governance in the African region during the period 1996-2014 by fully applying both DOLS and FMOLS techniques. In the first stage of this study, we examine the foreign aid effect on economic growth. In the second stage, we assess the intermediary role of institutions in the relationship between foreign ai… Show more

“…Therefore, the implication of the FMOLS model can give the best regression outputs because it has the capacity to treat the problem of stationarity. Additionally, this econometric technique has been repeatedly used in past studies arranged on the same theme and facing a similar econometric issue in their estimation (Liu et al, 2019; Olofin et al, 2019; Yahyaoui and Bouchoucha, 2021).…”

“…Foreign aid allows the modern technologies to be adopted and assists the tax department to enhance its operational efficiency (Sobis and Vries, 2009). There exists a lot of evidence showing the effectiveness of foreign aid in promoting economic growth and raising the living standards of local communities through proper utilization of financial aid (Adedokun, 2017; Paxton and Knack, 2012; Yahyaoui and Bouchoucha, 2021). However, there exists certain consensus indicating the adverse effects of foreign aid in the shape of bad governance situations and high corruption (Asongu, 2012).…”

“…Further, one more estimation technique is employed as a part of robustness check. The Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS) proposed by Stock and Watson (1993) and later extended by Kao and Chiang (2001)22The mathematical derivation of the model can be found in Stock and Watson (1993).. DOLS method can be applied with mixed and higher orders of integration and frequently used in estimating long-run nexus for heterogeneous panel by correcting simultaneity, endogeneity, serial correlation and small sample bias among the regressor 33Fully Modified OLS (FMOLS) is also commonly used to check the robustness of DOLS results in the literature; however, this approach essentially requires that all variables must have the same integration order (Yahyaoui and Bouchoucha, 2021). As Kao and Chiang (2001) proposed, DOLS outperforms FMOLS estimators in terms of mean biases.…”

“…The present study is unique in many respects. First, most studies investigate the impact of international remittances (Akçay & Karabulutoğlu, 2021), trade (Umulisa, 2020), trade openness (Xu et al, 2021), foreign aid (Yahyaoui & Bouchoucha, 2021), foreign direct investment (Younsi et al, 2021), and so forth, on the African countries. But, how risk and uncertainty affect a particular group of African countries (North African countries) via the tourism sector is overlooked in the literature.…”
