“…3 shows the strong similarity between these patterns, thus confirming that depth-profiles are not dependent on changes of sediment compositions. Furthermore, some considerations are possible comparing trends and the three Italian economic steps suggested by the Italian economic history (Gürlük, 2009;Pistoresi and Rinaldi, 2012;Felice and Carreras, 2012): (i) liberal age (1861-1911), (ii) interwar period , and (iii) economic miracle (1945-early-mid 1970s).…”

In view of the recent action in Marine Strategy Framework Directive, reconstructing the history of anthropogenic metal inputs and calculating the budgets for the northwestern part of the Italian Adriatic basin can provide a benchmark for comparison with new evidences and enlighten recent environmental changes. Among the metals, the attention was focused on Pb and Zn, as they provide the most significant anthropogenic signals. In 1988, areal distributions clearly identified the Po, Adige and Brenta rivers as the main sources of contaminants. The study area was divided in three compartments. The area in front of the Po delta represented a sink for metals but the accumulation of Zn and Pb integrated over the entire study area suggests an effective export throughout southern boundary. Most concentration-depth/year profiles in cores showed an upward increase from the Italian Unification (1861), with a still significant anthropogenic supply at the time of sampling.

“…The results indicated that output growth leads to growth in exports and imports, but there was no evidence for exports influencing growth in imports. In a related study, Pistoresi and Rinaldi (2012) examined the trade and economic growth nexus in Italy from 1863 to 2004 by estimating an autoregressive distributed lag model. The study established that an increase in intra-industry trade creates bi-directional causality between exports and imports.…”

“…The role of exports in promoting economic growth has been brought to the fore by the new wave of openness to trade as an economic strategy for development. Ideally, increased openness enables domestic producers to access a larger market for domestic goods which enables them to achieve economies of scale in the production of goods and services (Pistoresi and Rinaldi 2012). Promoting exports encourages specialization and learning-by-doing, which increases productivity not only in the tradable sector but also in the entire economy (Krugman 1995;Kinuthia 2016).…”

“…On examining the relationship existing between real Exports, imports and economic growth (GDP) in Italy from 1863 to 2004, Pistoresi and Rinaldi (2012) employed the co---integration and causality tests. The existence of co---integration was confirmed by results from the analysis despite the direction of causality indicated to vary over time.…”

This study explored the causal relationship between exports and economic growth (GDP) in Tanzania. It analysed time series data for the period of 1980 to 2015. Economic growth, in this study, is measured in terms of growth per cent while exports are measured in percentage change of goods and services sold abroad. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of exports to economic growth in Tanzania. This was analysed by testing for the presence of unit root, co---integration and causality. The unit root test was performed and after the first difference data were stationary. Further, the Johansen co---integration and Granger causality tests were employed to examine the long---run relationship among variables. The results of co---integration indicate the existence of one co---integrating equation. The causality test results exhibited causality which runs from economic growth to exports. The results conclude that in the long run, production alone can cause exports growth. This means that export is not an effective stimulus to the economic growth of Tanzania. This study suggests that the Government should make efforts to enhance the production side or the supply side which is expected, in the long run, to develop trade and eventually the economy. The study, further, suggests that the government should take care of the import substitution industrialisation policies which encourage domestic production.
