“…In the UAE, the GDP per capita increases by 1.35 % when there is a 5 % increase in capital. This result is consistent with the findings of Shahbaz et al (2011) for Romania, Shahbaz et al (2012) for Pakistan, and Omri and Sassi-Tmar (2014) for Morocco.…”

This study examines the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, environmental quality, and capital stock on economic growth in 17 Middle East and North African Countries (MENA) countries. We did our analysis in the panel framework over the period 1990-2012 using both the static (ordinary least squares method (OLS), fixed effect (FE), and random effect (RE)) and dynamic (difference-generalized method of moments (Diff-GMM) and system-generalized method of moments (Sys-GMM)) panel data approaches. The empirical results show that the increases in FDI inflows and capital stock enhance the economic growth process in MENA countries. On the other hand, our findings demonstrated that economic growth in MENA countries reacts negatively to the environmental degradation. These empirical insights are of particular interest to policymakers as they help build sound external and environmental policies to sustain economic growth. Keywords Economic growth. FDI inflows. CO 2 emissions. Static and dynamic panel data. MENA countries

“…Capital stock has a positive and statistically significant effect on real GDP, while the impact of inflation is found to be negative and statistically significant. This result is in line with the finding of Omri and Sassi-Tmar [21]. Regarding the model 2, we find that renewable energy consumption has a positive and significant effect on real GDP only for Brazil, Finland, Hungary, India, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.…”

a b s t r a c tThis article investigates the causal relationship between two types of energy variables and economic growth using dynamic simultaneous-equation panel data models for 17 developed and developing countries. Our results indicate that there is a unidirectional causality running from nuclear consumption to economic growth in Belgium and Spain, while a unidirectional causality running from economic growth to nuclear consumption is supported in Bulgaria, Canada, Netherlands, and Sweden. A bidirectional relationship appears in Argentina, Brazil, France, Pakistan, and the USA, while no causality exists in Finland, Hungary, India, Japan, Switzerland, and the U.K. Second, the results for the second nexus among renewable energy and economic growth show that there is a unidirectional causality running from renewable consumption to economic growth in

“…Similarly, we have found human capital and trade openness have no significant effect on economic growth. The result is consistent with (Omri and Sassi-Tmar, 2015) which did have the negative impact of trade openness on economic growth in North African countries. On the other hand, finance development that is an important matter for increasing economic growth.…”
