“…Results reveal that following trade liberalization, the elasticity of employment increased in some exporting manufacturing sectors. Ghazali et al (2018) examine the employment intensity of growth and its determinants in Tunisia over 1980-2012 using a two-step empirical approach. The authors estimate employment elasticity using the OLS and the rolling window regression.…”

“…Islam, 2004). Some other studies, such as Knotek (2007) and Ghazali et al (2018), use the rolling window regression to obtain the timevarying elasticity. However, the rolling window regression has some limitations.…”

“…First, the choice of the window size is somewhat arbitrary. For instance, Knotek (2007) selects a window size of 13 years to compute time-varying coefficients, while Ghazali et al (2018) employ a window size of 14 years. Second, the rolling window regression induces a loss of the first periods (where is the window size).…”

“…The findings vary across countries, regions, periods, sectors, and gender (Zanin, 2014;Ben-Salha and Mrabet, 2019). Subsequently, several other studies have examined the effects of economic growth on employment rather than unemployment (Anderson, 2016;Ghazali et al, 2018). Indeed, the literature on the impact of economic growth on employment has primarily targeted estimating the employment intensity of growth or the elasticity of employment 1 , which measures the relative change in the number of employed compared with the relative change in output.…”

“…Several studies explored the growth-employment relationship (Boltho and Glyn, 1995;Mourre, 2006;Crivelli et al, 2012;Sassi and Goaied, 2016;Ghazali et al, 2018). However, it should be noted that, although the literature on this subject is relatively abundant, few studies have concentrated on the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (hereafter GCC).…”

The objective of this research is to analyze the employment intensity of growth in six Gulf Cooperation Council countries between 1970 and 2017. To this end, a two-step econometric methodology is proposed. First, we estimate the time-varying employment intensity of growth using the time-varying parameters model based on the Kalman filter. Second, we identify the short and long-run determinants of the obtained employment intensity of growth using the Pooled Mean Group estimator. The analysis uncovers that elasticities range between 0.4 and 0.6 and has an increasing pattern over time. Findings reveal that in the long-run, the employment intensity is positively affected by trade liberalization, the share of services in GDP, the working-age population growth, and urbanization, while macroeconomic volatility has a negative impact. In the short-run, trade liberalization and natural resource rents exert adverse but weak effects on employment intensity. Based on these findings, some policy recommendations are drawn.

Pumping elephantThe COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the lives of people around the world in millions of ways . Due to this severe epidemic, all countries in the world have been affected by all aspects, mainly economic. It is widely discussed that the COVID-19 outbreak has affected the world economy. When considering this dimension, this study aims to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the world economy, socio-economics, and sustainability. In addition, the research focuses on multiple aspects of social well-being during the pandemic, such as employment, poverty, the status of women, food security, and global trade. To this end, the study used time series and cross-sectional analysis of the data. The second-hand data used in this study comes from the websites of major international organizations. From the analysis of secondary data, the conclusion of this article is that the impact of the pandemic is huge. The main finding of the thesis is that the social economy is affected by the pandemic, causing huge losses in terms of economic well-being and social capital.
