Effects of Volatility, Fiscal Policy Cyclicality and Financial Development on Growth in South Asia
Full text linkThis study empirically investigates the association between macroeconomic volatility and growth in the presence of credit constraints and governmental fiscal policy stance. This study considers four South Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka to examine the relationship between macroeconomic volatility and growth during the period lasting from 1980 to 2018 using the fully modified least square method. This study finds an inverse impact of volatility on growth in the presence of financial market constraints as credit market imperfections restrict companies from borrowing which eventually affect long-term investment and innovations. Also, the results suggest that fiscal policy for South Asian countries is pro-cyclical

The Socio-Economic Determinants of Interpersonal Trust Levels
Full text linkWe examine the impact of social and macroeconomic determinant such as economic growth, human capital, and population on interpersonal trust levels in the context of contributing to the area of behavioral economics. Two main policy variables included in the model are political stability and rule of law and order which may have promising contributions to raising interpersonal trust levels. We use panel data of five waves from World Value Survey data for fourteen countries during the 1999-2020 period. The findings of the study suggest that rule of law and order and political stability, are highly significant contributors to interpersonal trust. Our findings show an important channel, which is rarely explored before; that is human capital leading to interpersonal trust as it is associated with a higher level of education and health. Moreover, another important contribution of our study is the finding of an indirect role of economic growth on interpersonal trust levels. The inherent rationales for such are further explored in detail in our study
