본 연구는 해운산업의 경기를 나타내는 BDI와 벙커가격의 관계를 비대칭 공적분 모형을 사용하여 분석하였다. 기존연구는 선형의 공적분 모형을 사용하여 BDI와 국제유가의 관계를 분석하였으나, 본 연구는 기존연구들에서 드러난 BDI와 유가의 상승기와 하락기의 비대칭적인 특징을 적절히 포착할 수 있는 비대칭 모형을 사용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 기존연구에서 제시된 선형모형에 근거한 분석은 두 변수간의 장기균형 관계가 존재하지 않는 것으로 나타난 반면 본 연구에서 제시한 비대칭 모형을 통해 장기균형 관계가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, BDI가 벙커가격에 영향을 미치고 있음이 확인되었으므로 두 변수간의 장기균형 관계는 비대칭 모형을 고려하는 것이 적절한 것으로 판단된다.

환율 결정 모형의 근간이 되는 이론으로 널리 알려져 온 화폐모형은 두 국가 간의 환율이 각국의 통화량과 소득 수준에 의해 결정된다고 설명하고 있다. 그러나 이 이론이 성립하려면 이 모형에 내포된 변수 간에 공적분이 성립해야 하는데, Rapach and Wohar(2002)의 논문은 10개 국가의 자료 중 대 여섯개의 자료에만 (선형) 공적분이 존재한다는 결과를 제시하였다. 본 논문은 그들이 사용한 100년간에 걸친 자료를 사용하되, 환율 결정과정에서 발생할 수 있는 비대칭적 조정과정을 감안하여 비선형 공적분이 성립하는가를 검증하였다. 또한 독립변수가 불안정적이 아닐 경우에는 공적분 관계를 설정하기 곤란하다는 이유로 누락시키는 경우가 많은데 본 논문에서 사용되는 방법론에서는 그러한 문제가 제기되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 선형 공적분 검정 결과에 비해 더 많은 경우에 있어서 비선형 공적분 관계가 있다는 검정 결과가 산출되었다.

The study explores the nexus between foreign direct investment (FDI), financial innovation, and exchange rate volatility in selected South Asian countries for 1980 to 2017. The study applies the unit root test, Autoregressive Distributed Lagged, nonlinear ARDL, and causality test following Toda-Yamamoto. Unit root tests ascertain that variables are integrated in a mixed order; few variables are stationary at a level and few after the first difference. Empirical model estimation with ARDL, Long-run cointegration revealed with the tests of FPSS, WPSS, and tBDM by rejecting the null hypothesis of "no cointegration." This finding suggests that, in the long-run financial innovation, FDI inflows, and exchange rate volatility move together. Moreover, study findings established adverse effects running from FDI inflows and financial innovation to exchange rate volatility in the long run. These findings suggest that continual FDI inflows and innovativeness in the financial system assist in lessening the volatility in the foreign exchange market. Furthermore, nonlinear ARDL confirms the presence of asymmetric cointegration in the model. The standard Wald test established asymmetric effects running from FDI inflows and financial innovation to exchange rate volatility, both in the long and short run. Directional causality unveils feedback hypothesis holds for explaining causality between FDI, financial innovation, and exchange rate volatility.

This study's impetus is to explore fresh evidence to answer the question, i.e., whether remittances asymmetrically influence financial development in Bangladesh from 1975 to 2019. The study employs several tests, i.e., nonlinear unit root test, Autoregressive Distributed Lagged (ARDL), NARDL, and asymmetric causality test for establishing the pattern of association. Nonlinear unit root tests confirm that variables follow a nonlinear system of being stationary after the first difference. nonlinearity among variables is investigated by performing the BDS test and nonlinear OLS. Directional causality is investigated through both linear and nonlinear effects of remittance inflows by following the non-granger casualty test. The test statistics of Fpass and tBDM showed the Long-run cointegration in the empirical model and positive effect running from remittances inflow to financial development both in the long-run and short-run. Furthermore, the results of a standard Wald test divulge the presence of long-run and short-run asymmetry. Asymmetry causality test established unidirectional causality due to positive and negative shocks in remittances inflows to Bank-based financial development and feedback hypothesis hold for explaining causality between positive and negative shocks in remittance inflows and Stock-based financial development.

The remittances play a major and a very critical role in promoting economic growth and development activities in the developing countries. In this study, the relationship between per capita gross domestic product (GDP) and remittances paid has been investigated based on the case studies in Malaysia from 1987 to 2018. Data was collected from various sources namely statistical yearbook by World Bank and Asian Development Bank. All variables are expressed in natural logarithm form. The technique utilized is the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lags (hereafter NARDL) approach which was introduced by Shin et al.(2014) to examine both short run and long run relationships, as well as the direction of causality, due to the asymmetric relationship between GDP and remittances. The bound test verifies asymmetric cointegration among the variables. The empirical results show that the remittances paid has a momentous short-run and long-run effect towards capital accumulation in Malaysia. Remittances also increase a positive relationship with capital accumulation for Malaysia. We found that remittances form a significant source of external capital and investment for developing countries especially Malaysia which helps in promoting economic development. Furthermore, as a developing country, foreign workers are a source of income to the receiving countries and an indicator to boost sender countries.

The paper has used the Solow-Swan growth model to analyze the long-term impact of credit market development and stock market development on economic growth in Asia from 2000 to 2019. The empirical model is performed with panel cointegration analysis by Common Correlated Effects (CCE) method with cross-sectional dependencies. The results find that there exists a cointegration relationship among stock market, credit market development, and economic growth. These results also show that financial structure improves the exact impact of financial development on economic growth, namely the opposite effect of stock market development and credit market development. Moreover, the Granger causality test reveals a bi-directional relationship between credit market development and economic growth, while only unidirectional causality from stock market development to economic growth for the whole group panel. And it is different for a specific country, according to Kónya's test. The view of the new structuralism does not apply in the Asian financial system when we estimate the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (NARDL) to analyze the asymmetric relationship between financial structure and economic growth. On the whole, policymakers can draw on the findings to provide policy implications to improve their country's financial system as well as pursue the goal of sustainable economic growth.
