A multivariate analysis of savings, investment and growth in Nepal

Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between the gross domestic savings, investment and growth for Nepal using annual time series data for the period of 1974/75 to 2009/10. The study employs the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to test for cointegration and Error correction based Granger causality analysis for exploring the causality between the variables. Empirical results show that there exist cointegration between gross domestic savings, investment and gross domestic product when each of these is taken as dependent variable. Granger causality analysis shows that there exists short-run bidirectional causality between investment and gross domestic product as well as between gross domestic savings and investment. Nevertheless, no short-run causality is found between gross domestic savings and gross domestic product. Thus, the policy of accelerating growth by promoting investment works to some extant only since the long-run investment multiplier is below one.

Nexus between financial and technology inclusion, remittances and trade openness vis - à - vis growth: a study of Nepal

Abstract: Using the ARDL Bounds approach to cointegration, we explore the role of financial services, information and communications technology, remittance inflows and export liberalisation in Nepal over the periods 1975-2010 (36 years). The results show that financial development, ICT, remittance inflows and openness are instrumental in improving income level both in the longrun. Positive outcomes are also noted in the short-run with exception of negative lagged effects. Consequently, besides the need for stable macroeconomic policies and effective institutional structures, policies need to be focused on: greater financial and technology integration, investment in and integration of technology and innovation across sectors, encouraging greater remittance inflows through with proper labour mobility schemes, export promotion strategies not only addressing supply side constraints but also strengthening trade partnership at regional and international level.
