“…Third, it is the first to use FDI flow and FDI stock as a systemic variable in the analytical framework; it uses different definitions of the FDI flow and FDI stock to validate the robustness of the results. FDI stock is confirmed to be a consistent and important factor in the process of technology diffusion in Saudi Arabia (Sillah, 2015). Fourth, the study analyzes and compares the effect of FDI flow and FDI stock on the OBS activities of conventional and Islamic banks separately.…”

PurposeThis paper investigates and compares the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows (flow and stock) on bank off-balance sheet (OBS) activities in aggregate as well as at the level of conventional and Islamic banks in GCC countries. It also tests hypotheses of direct and indirect impacts of FDI flow and FDI stock on OBS activities.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses both static and dynamic panel generalized methods of moments (GMM) estimation techniques to analyze the data of 70 GCC banks (45 conventional and 25 Islamic banks) over the period 1995–2017.FindingsEmpirical results indicate that FDI flow and FDI stock have a significant negative direct impact on OBS activities of GCC banks. The results lend support for the direct channel hypothesis for the effect of FDI on OBS activities and find no evidence in support of the indirect channel hypothesis. OBS activities from conventional banks appear to be more affected than those from Islamic banks.Practical implicationsThe results of this study are expected to trigger appropriate policy response from the central banks of the respective GCC countries as well as their governments.Originality/valueIt is widely recognized that FDI inflows are of great importance to the economic development of emerging and developing countries. However, their impact on bank OBS activities has so far not been subject to accurate empirical assessment. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing an in-depth quantitative analysis of the impact of FDI flow and FDI stock separately, on bank OBS activities for both conventional and Islamic banks in GCC countries. It distinguishes between direct and indirect channels through which FDI flow and FDI stock may affect OBS activities for banks as a whole and both conventional and Islamic banks separately. It also uses both static and dynamic panel GMM estimation techniques to analyze the data.

This paper is fundamentally a conceptual paper, the purpose of which is to propose a framework for researchers to study technology adoption of small and medium enterprise retailers (SMERs) in Malaysia by combining the dimensions of system-specific approach and latent personality dimensions. which focuses on existing theoretical frameworks and paradigms in the study of technology adoption of SMERs. However, the paper also draws on the database of reviews of past studies conducted in the field of technology adoption and identifies two fundamental paradigms- the system-specific approach and the latent personality dimensions approach. The paper also draws upon the empirical findings of these studies to determine and define the elements of the proposed conceptual framework. The available empirical data from the conclusions of the existing research studies, therefore, are bound by the limits of these two paradigms. This paper proposes a conceptual framework and a language which scholars can utilize to take a more holistic approach, which bridges the gap between the two existing paradigms. The study has a theoretical contribution as it aims to propose a new model for the technology adoption of SMERs by incorporating the system-specific paradigm and the latent personality behavior paradigm. The second theoretical contribution of this framework is that it can test the moderating effect of latent personality dimensions. Furthermore, the paper is also in alignment with the Government of Malaysia’s National 4IR Policy. This paper modifies three existing theoretical frameworks- TAM, TOE, and TRI, thereby, proposing a new conceptual model for technology adoption of SMERs

Saudi Arabia is a capital and energy-intensive economy and also dependent on expatriate labor. With the recent fall in oil prices, the Kingdom is actively pursuing structural transformation. The study identifies a research gap in estimating the contribution of labor and capital to the Saudi Arabian economy. This study focuses on estimating the relative contribution of major long-term determinants of economic growth. With the support of the auto-regressive distributed lag model (ARDL), the study establishes a co-integrating relationship between real gross domestic product (GDP), investment expenditure, labor force and education expenditure in Saudi Arabia. The study notices that the maximum contribution to real GDP growth in Saudi Arabia is from the labor force. The minimum contribution to real GDP growth comes from investments in the predominant oil sector. This study identifies the mechanisms to make the localization program successful. The study recommends further diversification in productive sectors to gain benefit from new investments and suggests cutting down the unproductive expenditure in education. Contribution/ Originality:This study is one of the very few studies which have investigated the contribution of capital and labor to the economy of Saudi Arabia. In addition, by incorporating education expenditure into the model, it also studies the role of education in light of the Saudization program.The early studies of Solow (1962) on United States, Abramovitz (1956) on United States, Denison (1962) on United States & North west Europe, found that the contribution of labor is more than that of capital. However Maddisson (1970); Robinson (1971) in their respective studies on sample of developing countries found that the Asian Economic and Financial Review
