Although remittances have increased rapidly in recent decades, however. most previous studies have been done using micro-level data but there is no article employed data at the macro-level in Asia-Pacific. Our paper tries to fill the empirecal gap related to the impact of remittances on private investment in recipient countries with the panel data of 30 Asia and the Pacific developing countries in the period of 1985 – 2014. The results confirmed that remittances lead to an increase in private investment in these countries but the quantitative analysis showed that this promoting impact is only a quite weak. Further more, our Granger causality test explored that there is only one-way causality from remittance to private investment existing in research period.

Analysing the literature, it is found that empirical evidences on the link between trade facilitation and economic growth for developing countries is very scarce. The present study investigated whether trade facilitation has contributed to the economic growth of a sample of 23 developing countries over the period 2007-2014. Results from the analysis highlight the importance of trade facilitation as a crucial determinant of development. Moreover, even trade levels have demonstrated to have an important role to play in boosting growth levels. Private investment is also seen to be an important driver of growth and the importance of education, are also acknowledged by the results. The GMM estimates confirmed these results and further indicated the presence of dynamism in growth modeling. Moreover, the granger causality test shows that there is a uni directional causality flowing from trade facilitation to economic growth.

The Impact

The impact of foreign direct imvestment (FDI) on economic growth is still a highly controversial issue as remarked by many researchers (Aitken et al.; 1997; Carkovic & Levine, 2002; Bende-Nabende et al., 2003; Durham, 2004; and Hsiao, 2006). Using a panel dataset of 43 provinces in Vietnam during 1997 – 2012 and the Granger causality test by Arellano-Bond GMM and PMG estimation, this paper shows that: (i) FDI does Granger-cause private investment, human resources, taxation, infrastructure, trade openness and local technology; (ii) FDI has a positive impacts on provincial economic growth in the long term; and (iii) FDI flows vary over provinces due to differences in geographical conditions and level of development.

Over Time

Summary Although dramatically reduced in Western and developed countries, maternal mortality is still today one of the most relevant social and health scourges in developing countries. This is the reason why high levels of maternal mortality are always interpreted as a sign of low living standards, ignorance, poverty and woman discrimination. Maternal mortality represents, therefore, a very peculiar characteristic of demographic systems of ancien regime. Despite this important role in demographic systems, no systematic study has been addressed to investigate the impact of maternal mortality in historical Italy. The aim of this article is to shed some light on such a phenomenon by investigating its trend over time and the determinants in some Italian populations between the 18th and the early 20th centuries. The analysis will make use of civil and parish registers linked together by means of nominative techniques, and it will be, therefore, carried out at the micro level.

Armed Actors

This article introduces a special issue on the micro-level dynamics of mass violent conflict. While most analyses of conflict typically adopt a regional, national or global perspective, often using country-level data, this special issue takes an explicit micro-level approach, focusing on the behaviour and welfare of individuals, households and groups or communities. At a fundamental level, conflict originates from individuals' behaviour and their repeated interactions with their surroundings, in other words, from its micro-foundations. A micro-level approach advances our understanding of conflict by its ability to account for individual and group heterogeneity within one country or one conflict. The contributors to this special issue investigate the nature of violence against civilians, the agency of civilians during conflict, the strategic interaction between civilians and armed actors, the consequences of displacement, the effectiveness of coping strategies and the impact of policy interventions. The core message from these articles is that in order to understand conflict dynamics and its effects on society, we have to take seriously the incentives and constraints shaping the interaction between the civilian population and the armed actors. The kind of interaction that develops, as well as the resulting conflict dynamics, depend on the type of conflict, the type of armed actors and the characteristics of the civilian population and its institutions.

Integration Analysis

This paper empirically examines the relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth by applying the co-integration analysis and Granger causality test to the time series data of carbon emissions and gross domestic product (GDP) of the world’s top 20 emitters from 1990 to 2015. Co-integration analysis shows that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth in most countries; Granger causality test verifies a one-way causal link between carbon emissions and economic growth in most major emitters. In developed countries, economic growth is the Granger cause of carbon emissions, while the opposite is true in developing countries. The results reflect different characteristics regarding carbon emission reduction in developed and developing countries as they are at different developing stages. Carbon emission reduction exerts much greater adverse effects on the economic growth of developing countries than it does on that of developed countries. Based on the results of the Granger causal analysis, it is found that the requirements for developing countries to substantially reduce emissions are not in line with the characteristics in their current developing stage and therefore may pose obstructions. Developed countries should take the lead in carrying out emission reductions due to their accountability for historical emissions as well as their development stages and capabilities. In addition, they should aid developing countries in their efforts for transforming and upgrading development and reducing dependence of economic growth on carbon emissions. International climate governance should take into account the needs and characteristics of different countries for future development, and build a mechanism for international cooperation to achieve synergy between social economic development and global climate governance.

The Impact

According to the objectives of the European Union concerning the climate changes, Member States should take all the necessary measures in order to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this study is to identify the causality relations between greenhouse gases emissions, added value from agriculture, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth based on a panel consisting of 11 states from the Central and Eastern Europe (CEECs) in the period between 2000 and 2017. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method was used to estimate the long-term relationships among the variables. Also a Granger causality test based on the ARDL – Error Correction Model (ECM) and a Pairwise Granger causality test were used to identify the causality relationship and to detect the direction of causality among the variables. The results obtained reveal, in the long term, two bidirectional relationships between agriculture and economic growth and two unidirectional relationships from agriculture to greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy. In the short term, four unidirectional relationships were found from agriculture to all the variables in the model and one unidirectional relationship from renewable energy to greenhouse gas emissions.

The Impact

Taking the unique advantage of the cryptocurrency market setting, this paper examines the relationships between blockchain participation and returns, trading volume and realized volatility of main cryptocurrencies (i.e., Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin). Dissimilar to previous theoretical studies that model the influencing factors on participation, we employ the number of unique from addresses 1 as the proxy for cryptocurrency investors’ blockchain participation and further explore the impact of such participation. By using vector autoregressive (VAR) model, we find that the blockchain participation has a significant and positive impact on the next day’s trading volume and realized volatility for the main cryptocurrencies. Our results are robust to the Granger causality test and alternative measure for blockchain participation.

17074 Background: ACORD is a 1-week, intensive educational workshop designed to increase skills of junior cancer clinical researchers from the Asia Pacific region. Participants come from region of diverse cultures, languages and resources. Methods: We surveyed participants 1 year after the workshop to determine its impact on their research output. Participants were grouped into those from: Australia or New Zealand (ANZ), developed Asian countries (Japan, Korea, Taiwan), and developing Asian countries (India, China, Bangladesh, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia). Results: The response rate was higher from developed Asia (10/10, 100%), than ANZ (44/59, 75%) and developing Asia (7/12, 58%). The proportion of respondents spending more than half of their time in research was higher in ANZ (21%), than developing Asia (14%) or developed Asia (10%). The workshop was rated very valuable by more respondents from developing Asia (71%) than from ANZ (59%) and developed Asia (60%). More than half of respondents had submitted their ACORD protocol to an IRB. Progress activating protocols was reported more frequently by respondents from developing Asia (86%) than developed Asia (70%) and ANZ (59%). Involvement in other research was also reported more frequently by respondents from developing Asia (100%) than ANZ (82%) or developed Asia (80%). The most frequently reported barriers to progressing research were: other work commitments (71% for developing Asia, 44% for ANZ, 30% for developed Asia) and lack of funding (71% for developing Asia, 39% for ANZ, and 33% for developed Asia). Continuing contact with faculty and participants was reported more frequently by respondents from ANZ (59%), than developed Asia (43%) or developing Asia (30%). Conclusions: Respondents were highly satisfied with the workshop, perceiving positive effects on their research skills and careers. Participants from developing countries were more likely to take their protocols forward, despite reporting greater barriers to progress, and less continuing contact with faculty and participants. Protected time and support for researchers are worth considering for developing countries wanting to improve their research output. [Table: see text]
