The Moderating Effects Of Business Environment On The Relationship Between Foreign Direct Investment And Economic Growth In China
(2024-10)
Wang, Jiechen
Over the last 30 years, china has experienced outstanding economic growth and has emerged as a key destination for substantial foreign direct investment (fdi). However, the pace of fdi inflows has decelerated in recent years. In response, the chinese government has introduced a policy to enhance the business environment. Motivated by this economic scenario, this study focuses on the role of fdi inflows and the business environment in promoting china’s economic growth from 1985 to 2020. This study constructs business-environment indicators concerning institutional quality, financial development, infrastructure, and innovation using the entropy weight method. Subsequently, this study employed econometric techniques such as unit root tests and johansen-juselius cointegration tests to determine the order of integration of the variables and the presence of long-run relationships. This study not only focuses on the direct relationship but also profoundly explores the impact of fdi on china's economic growth by considering the role of the business environment as a moderating factor. Furthermore, each sub-element of the business environment is explored separately to understand their respective impacts better. This study confirms that fdi and economic growth in china have a long-run relationship.
The Effects Of Telecommunication Technology And Leadership Quality On Private Consumption Spending In Malaysia
(2023-12)
Lim, Yu Syuen
Private consumption is one of the major players in generating Malaysia’s economic growth as it constitutes over 60 per cent of national income. As such, comprehending this primary domestic growth engine is crucial, particularly in light of the evolving landscape affected by COVID-19 and shifting consumption behaviours. In contrast to the previous literature on private consumption, this study delves into non-economic factors, specifically examining the impact of telecommunication technology and national leadership quality on private consumption in Malaysia from 1990:Q1 to 2020:Q4.

The Aging-Inequality Nexus: The Domestic Savings Channel And Threshold Effects In Asia-Pacific Countries
(2024-05)
affarudin, Muhammad Raees Shaik S
Income inequality has generally exhibited an increasing trend, albeit at varying rates among Asia-Pacific countries, during a concurrent boom in the elderly population. As such, the connection between the rising prevalence of the aging population and the slow progress in alleviating income inequality remains unclear. Moreover, there is a lack of empirical analysis focusing on domestic savings as a potential transmission mechanism within the aging-inequality nexus. To address these questions, this study sets forth three primary objectives. First, the study investigates whether a long-term relationship exists between aging and income inequality using the Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (A-ARDL) bounds test. The key findings confirm that aging coexists with income inequality in advanced aging economies. Empirical evidence indicates that population aging exacerbates income inequality in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and China. Conversely, the aging process in Hong Kong appears to moderate inequality. The second objective explores the role of domestic savings as a transmission mechanism in the relationship between aging and income inequality, while also considering the effects of social globalization. The results reveal that aging significantly influences savings behaviors in aged and super-aged countries. Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and China display a negative relationship between aging and savings, whereas Hong Kong shows a positive correlation between the older dependency ratio and domestic saving.
Pembiayaan Mikro, Sosiodemografi, Sikap Keusahawanan Bumiputera Dan Prestasi Perusahaan Mikro Di Pulau Pinang: Kajian Terhadap Hubungan Dan Kesan Penyederhana
(2023-09)
Halim, Mat Hashim
Pembiayaan kewangan, sikap keusahawanan dan faktor sosiodemografi dilihat memainkan peranan penting dalam membantu pertumbuhan perusahaan bersaiz mikro, kecil dan sederhana (PKS). Berdasarkan kepentingan faktor ini, kajian ini dijalankan bagi melihat sejauh manakah pengaruh ini memberikan kesan secara langsung dan tidak langsung terhadap prestasi perusahaan dengan tumpuan kajian diberikan kepada perniagaan bersaiz mikro Bumiputera yang terdapat di Pulau Pinang. Berdasarkan pertimbangan teoretikal, satu kerangka konseptual kajian telah dibentuk untuk meneliti hubungan faktor-faktor ini terhadap prestasi perusahaan mikro berdasarkan Teori Pandangan Berasaskan Sumber (RBV), Teori Sikap dan Teori Keusahawanan Shane. Sejumlah 350 orang usahawan Bumiputera bersaiz mikro di Pulau Pinang yang menerima pembiayaan kewangan mikro dari pelbagai agensi dan institusi kewangan telah dipilih sebagai sampel kajian. Data-data kajian diperoleh dengan menggunakan borang soal selidik dan dianalisis menggunakan perisian SPSS dan Eviews. Kaedah deskriptif digunakan bagi menjelaskan taburan responden kajian manakala kaedah regresi berbilang digunakan bagi menerangkan pengaruh faktor-faktor pembiayaan mikro, sikap keusahawanan dan sosiodemografi usahawan terhadap prestasi usahawan mikro Bumiputera di Pulau Pinang.
