This paper examines the relationship between women’s participation in the labor market and economic development in ECCAS and ECOWAS over the period 2006-2015 by using dynamic panel data model. The analysis is run from two different perspectives – on one hand, the relationship is investigated for a sample of 24 countries; and on the other hand – the evidence is disaggregated and the relationship is re-examined with two regional blocs (ECCAS, ECOWAS). The OLS, fixed effects model, instrumental IV and the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator developed by Arellano and Bond (1991) are employed to evaluate and account for dynamic effects. The main results show that there is a U-shaped relationship between female labor force participation and the economic development for the encompassing 24 countries. The findings are important for ECCAS and ECOWAS countries policy makers to undertake effective policies that can boost female labor force participation and enhance economic growth in their countries.
本文采用动态面板数据模型,考察了2006-2015年中非经共体和西非经共体妇女参与劳动力市场与经济发展之间的关系。分析是从两个不同的角度进行的——一方面,对24个国家的样本进行了调查;另一方面,对证据进行分类,并与两个区域集团(中非经共体、西非经共体)重新审查这种关系。采用OLS、固定效应模型、工具IV和由Arellano和Bond(1991)开发的广义矩量法(GMM)估计器来评估和解释动态效应。主要结果表明,在涵盖的24个国家中,女性劳动力参与与经济发展之间存在u型关系。研究结果对中非经共体和西非经共体国家决策者采取有效政策,促进本国女性劳动力参与和经济增长具有重要意义。

This main goal of this study is to check the exchange rate fluctuations and its impact on trade balance in Pakistan. The annual time series data from 1971 to 2016 is used to check the short run and long run relationship between Exchange rate fluctuations trade balance of Pakistan. We employed the autoregressive distributed lag approach and results reveal that Exchange rate has positive and significant relationship with balance of trade in long run and short run. Devaluation of Pakistani rupees against USD, would increase the exports and ultimately trade balance will enhance. The inflation and money supply has negative and significant relationship with balance of trade in long run in Pakistan. The excess of money supply will increase inflation which reduces the exports and consequently, balance of trade would decrease. This study has a policy implications for government as well as local and foreign investors. The government should also play an important role to make such strategies which can increase the balance of trade in Pakistan and can boost the economic growth of Pakistan indirectly.
本研究的主要目的是检查汇率波动及其对巴基斯坦贸易平衡的影响。利用1971 - 2016年的年度时间序列数据,检验巴基斯坦汇率波动与贸易收支之间的短期和长期关系。采用自回归分布滞后方法,结果表明汇率与贸易收支在长期和短期都存在显著的正相关关系。巴基斯坦卢比兑美元贬值,将增加出口,最终改善贸易平衡。从长期来看,巴基斯坦的通货膨胀和货币供应量与贸易平衡呈显著负相关。货币供应过剩会加剧通货膨胀,从而减少出口,导致贸易差额减少。这项研究对政府以及本地和外国投资者具有政策意义。政府也应该发挥重要作用,制定这样的战略,可以增加巴基斯坦的贸易平衡,可以间接促进巴基斯坦的经济增长。

This paper surveys relation between government budget, foreign direct investment (FDI) and public capital efficiency role in the infrastructure sector for attracting FDI. To achieve this goal, dynamic optimization methods are used for extracting the growth path of public consumption expenditure of government within a neoclassical growth model framework. The results suggest that FDI has a direct and positive effect on the optimal growth rate of public consumption expenditure. In fact, if the government invests more in the infrastructure sector and it is more efficient to attract FDI, the optimal growth rate of public consumption will be higher in long run respect to short run. The equation for the growth rate of public consumption is derived and estimated on the basis of data during the period 1971 - 2014 in Iran.
本文研究了政府预算、外商直接投资(FDI)和公共资本效率在基础设施部门吸引外商直接投资中的作用之间的关系。为实现这一目标,在新古典增长模型框架下,采用动态优化方法提取政府公共消费支出的增长路径。研究结果表明,FDI对公共消费支出最优增长率具有直接的正向影响。事实上,如果政府加大对基础设施领域的投资,吸引外国直接投资的效率更高,那么长期公共消费的最优增长率将高于短期。根据伊朗1971 - 2014年的数据,推导和估计了公共消费增长率方程。

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF TECHNOLOGY AND PROPERTIES OF LEGENDRE-FENCHEL TRANSFORMATIONS legende - fenchel转换技术和特性的经济分析

This paper examines a two-way relationship between convex analysis and microeconomic theory. Motivation for this paper are the observed similarities in the structure of the theory of consumer behavior and production theory. The fact that the behavior of variables is not determined by their nature but, rather, by their relationships is best illustrated and explained by using convex sets and convex analysis, which occupy central place in microeconomic theory. This paper is the result of efforts to make complex results of convex analysis and its application in microeconomic theory more transparent. Starting with the well-known economic phenomenon of profit maximization the authors derive in a novel way general results within the framework of convex analysis. From those results follow, directly and indirectly, the conclusions of the theory of consumer and producer behavior. The authors show that applying the Fundamental Theorems of Calculus opens up a new perspective in which the marginal cost curve can be interpreted as the marginal profit curve. This enables the derivation of Hotelling's lemma in a new way. Using the new interpretation of Hotelling's lemma, the authors reconstruct the cost function and confirm the Conjugate Duality Theorem of Legendre-Fenchel transformations. Relaxing the assumption of differentiability by describing the graph of the cost function as the envelope of its tangents, the authors rederive the properties of Legendre-Fenchel transformations and show that they hold in general. The path from the well-known economic facts to completely general conclusions of convex analysis is continued by applying the Conjugate Duality Theorem of Legendre-Fenchel transformations to the profit function. The essence of the dual characterization of technology by the profit function is illustrated by the graphical representation of linear homogeneity of the profit function. It results in the possibility to reconstruct the production function while using only the First Order Conditions to rederive Hotelling's lemma. It is this inductive-deductive approach used to examine the properties of Legendre-Fenchel trasformations and their application in the theory of consumer and producer behavior that establishes a two-way relationship between convex analysis and microeconomic theory.
本文探讨了凸分析与微观经济理论之间的双向关系。本文的动机是观察到消费者行为理论和生产理论在结构上的相似性。变量的行为不是由它们的性质决定的,而是由它们之间的关系决定的,这一事实可以用凸集和凸分析来最好地说明和解释,凸集和凸分析在微观经济理论中占据中心位置。本文是努力使凸分析的复杂结果及其在微观经济理论中的应用更加透明的结果。作者从著名的利润最大化经济现象出发,在凸分析的框架内,以一种新颖的方式推导出一般结果。从这些结果中,直接或间接地得出了消费者和生产者行为理论的结论。作者表明,运用微积分基本定理开辟了一个新的视角,即边际成本曲线可以解释为边际利润曲线。这使得霍特林引理的推导有了新的途径。利用Hotelling引理的新解释,重构了代价函数,证实了legende - fenchel变换的共轭对偶定理。通过将代价函数的图描述为其切线的包络,放宽了可微性的假设,作者重新推导了legende - fenchel变换的性质,并证明了它们一般成立。通过将legende - fenchel变换的共轭对偶定理应用于利润函数,延续了从众所周知的经济事实到凸分析的完全一般结论的路径。利润函数的线性同质性的图形表示说明了利润函数对技术的双重表征的本质。这使得仅使用一阶条件就可以重新推导霍特林引理,从而重构生产函数成为可能。正是这种用于检验勒让德-芬切尔变换的性质及其在消费者和生产者行为理论中的应用的归纳演绎方法,在凸分析和微观经济理论之间建立了双向关系。

The purpose of this paper was to assess the conditional dependence structure in the precious metals futures market in the period spanning from the beginning of 2000 to mid 2018. These time frames correspond to large fluctuations of quoted contract prices during the financial crisis. The dynamic Kendall’s tau coefficients and the dynamic tail dependence coefficients were used to assess the strength and dynamics of the nexus between rates of return on quoted prices of precious metals futures contracts. The coefficients were determined using the copula-based multivariate GARCH models, whereas the daily changes in the conditional dependence structure (changes in market state) were identified with the fuzzy c-means clustering method. In the study period, the conditional dependence structure in the precious metals futures market changed over time, as confirmed by the three identified market states. Of the contracts considered, gold and silver futures contracts demonstrated the strongest interrelationship and a relatively high likelihood of extreme events being transferred between them.

ASSESSMENT OF WEALTH DIVERSITY (CASE OF LITHUANIA) 财富多样性评估(以立陶宛为例)

The high level of income and wealth distribution in the world is recognized as a phenomenon that leads to negative economic and social consequences. The imperfection of redistribution levers in the economy has created conditions for the concentration of resources, material goods and wealth in small population groups. Today, the economic system is not focused on majority of the population, and therefore the high level of inequality and its consequences for economic growth, well-being and human development cannot be ignored. In this context, too high economic inequality in Lithuania is one of the most sensitive problems of the country; Lithuania is an anti-leader in the European Union according to economic inequality.Conventionally, economic inequality is measured using such methods as distribution of income and consumption of the population, however, to find out the real level of inequality, wealth diversity should be studied as well. The main purpose of this article is to identify and emphasise wealth diversity as an inseparable part of economic inequality in Lithuania and, as a result, the poor quality of life and obstacles in the way of economic progress as well as to compare wealth inequality with income inequality in Lithuania.The authors organised a representative poll of Lithuanian citizens and used a certain survey to collect information about the dwelling-places or other types of assets owned by the respondents as well as to evaluate wealth diversity in the country. The results show that the edge value of the assets owned by the representatives between I and X deciles differs by 16.9 times. However, comparing the average prices of dwelling-places in deciles I and X, the difference amounts to 7.2 times. Assessing all types of assets, including accommodation, land, durable goods, etc., it has been revealed that the distribution of wealth exceeds the limit of income and consumption distribution established by various statistical organisations and by the authors themselves. The decile ratio (in relation to deciles I and X) equals to 40.8, thus, it considerably exceeds the level of income and consumption inequality.
世界上收入和财富分配的高水平被认为是一种导致消极经济和社会后果的现象。经济中再分配杠杆的不完善为资源、物质产品和财富集中在少数人口群体中创造了条件。今天,经济制度的重点并不是大多数人口,因此,高度不平等及其对经济增长、福祉和人类发展的影响是不容忽视的。在这方面,立陶宛过高的经济不平等是该国最敏感的问题之一;由于经济不平等,立陶宛是欧盟的反领导人。传统上,经济不平等是通过收入分配和人口消费等方法来衡量的,但是,为了找出真正的不平等程度,还应该研究财富多样性。本文的主要目的是确定和强调财富多样性是立陶宛经济不平等的一个不可分割的部分,因此,生活质量差和经济进步道路上的障碍,以及比较立陶宛的财富不平等和收入不平等。作者对立陶宛公民进行了一次有代表性的民意调查,并利用某种调查来收集有关受访者所拥有的住所或其他类型资产的信息,并评估该国的财富多样性。结果表明,代表所拥有的资产在1和X十分位数之间的边缘值相差16.9倍。然而,比较I和X十分位数的住房平均价格,差距达到了7.2倍。评估所有类型的资产,包括住房、土地、耐用品等,发现财富的分配超过了各种统计组织和作者自己确定的收入和消费分配的限制。十分位数比率(相对于十分位数I和十分位数X)等于40.8,因此,它大大超过了收入和消费不平等的水平。

: The aim of the paper is to analyse the development and the level of cost inflation pressures originating from the labour market in terms of the different levels of the Czech Republic. At first, we will mention several definitions of unit labour costs and the reasons for their examination and monitoring. Then we will select the concept of the nominal and real unit wage costs and data for the macro-level and mezzo-level in the Czech Republic. It is also evaluated the development of real unit wage costs indicator on individual levels of the Czech Republic and extent the wage inflation potential on them. Finally, we localize the first clues about the negative impact of wages on prices on the mezzo-level, which can be used for creating the prediction of the national economy in the near future.

Finally, we localize the first clues about the negative impact of wages on prices on the mezzo-level, which can be used for creating the prediction of the national economy in the near future.","PeriodicalId":42415,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economic Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67599070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper deals with a highly complicated problem related to the development of economic relations between the European Union and the so-called Eastern Partnership countries – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The essence of the problem is the extremely excessive level of the shadow economy in the Eastern Partnership countries: the shadow economy considerably affects the situation in the Eastern Partnership countries and it causes in addition a profound negative impact on the economic cooperation with the European Union. The assessment and monitoring of shifts in shadow economies in the Eastern Partnership countries is a crucial issue for the European Union, in particular to make responsible and reasoned policy decisions on the economic cooperation between the European Union and the Eastern Partnership countries. This fact leads to the needs to create and use adequate instruments for modelling and evaluating the shadow economy. The opportunities of using various tools for modelling and evaluating the shadow economy are discussed herein. The main focus of attention is directed to the new integrated approach to shadow economy modelling: this approach is distinguished by the fact that the shadow economy is analyzed and assessed in a holistic manner upon taking into account the different aspects of economic life and economic development processes. A new model applicable to the assessment of the shadow economy in the Eastern Partnership countries is described; this model is based on the idea of the so-called Tanzi model and was developed by covering the traditionally used independent variables such as taxes, wages and salaries, as well as the new modified indicators. The paper describes empirical research on modelling and estimating of the scope and dynamics of the shadow economy in the Eastern Partnership countries, as well as the principal results of the said research. It has been shown that the shadow economy in the Eastern Partnership countries is highly, extensively and even dangerously developed. The results of the research show an existence of a link between the size of the shadow economy and the control of corruption, but this link is very diverse in different countries. The methodological approach and research results presented in the paper can be used to create a decision support system for the development of the economic relations between the European Union and the Eastern Partnership countries.
这篇论文论述了欧洲联盟与所谓的东方伙伴关系国家- -亚美尼亚、阿塞拜疆、白俄罗斯、格鲁吉亚、摩尔多瓦和乌克兰- -之间经济关系发展的一个高度复杂的问题。问题的实质是东部伙伴关系国家的影子经济水平极度过高:影子经济严重影响了东部伙伴关系国家的形势,并对与欧盟的经济合作造成了深刻的负面影响。评估和监测东部伙伴关系国家影子经济的变化对欧盟来说是一个至关重要的问题,特别是对欧盟与东部伙伴关系国家之间的经济合作做出负责任和合理的政策决定。这一事实导致需要创建和使用适当的工具来模拟和评估影子经济。本文讨论了使用各种工具对影子经济进行建模和评估的机会。主要关注的焦点是影子经济建模的新综合方法:这种方法的特点是,考虑到经济生活和经济发展过程的不同方面,以整体的方式对影子经济进行分析和评估。提出了一种适用于东方伙伴关系国家影子经济评估的新模型;该模型基于所谓的Tanzi模型的思想,通过涵盖传统上使用的独立变量,如税收、工资和薪金,以及新的修改指标,而发展起来。本文介绍了对东部伙伴关系国家影子经济的范围和动态进行建模和估计的实证研究,以及研究的主要成果。研究表明,东部伙伴关系国家的影子经济高度、广泛甚至危险地发展。研究结果表明,影子经济的规模与腐败的控制之间存在联系,但这种联系在不同的国家差别很大。本文提出的方法方法和研究成果可用于为欧盟与东方伙伴关系国家之间经济关系的发展创建一个决策支持系统。

This study aims to find out the relationship of how exchange rate effect the balance of trade in Pakistan over the period 1982-2016 within the context of J-curve phenomenon. We employed an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to cointegration. To investigate the short run dynamics of the study, we have estimated an error correction model. The unit root results provide a mix of I(0) and I(1) variables. The results of diagnostic tests indicate no econometric problem in the estimated model. The CUSUM and CUSUM of squared test confirms the stability of the estimated model. We summarize the estimated results as follow: first, we found an evidence of cointegration among the variables. Second, the long run results shows significant effect of REER on trade balance in Pakistan. Third, we found an evidence of J-curve in case of Pakistan.
本研究的目的是在j曲线现象的背景下,找出1982-2016年期间汇率对巴基斯坦贸易平衡的影响关系。我们采用自回归分布滞后(ARDL)方法进行协整。为了研究研究的短期动态,我们估计了一个误差修正模型。单位根结果提供了I(0)和I(1)个变量的混合。诊断试验的结果表明,估计模型中没有计量经济学问题。CUSUM和CUSUM的平方检验证实了估计模型的稳定性。我们总结了估计结果如下:首先,我们发现了变量之间协整的证据。第二,长期结果显示REER对巴基斯坦贸易平衡的影响显著。第三,我们在巴基斯坦的案例中发现了j曲线的证据。
