세계의 주요 자원중 하나인 원유는 산업의 가장 기초적인 부분을 담당하고 있으며 원유를 통하여 많은 액체화물이 생산되고 있다. 석유화학단지들은 인근의 항만을 통해 원유를 수입후 정제를 통해 석유정제품, 화학생산공업품 등을 생산한다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 주요 석유화학단지와 인근에 위치한 액체화물 항만 간의 관계를 확인하고자 울산항, 대산항, 여수광양항을 선정하였다. 항만물동량 시계열 데이터를 이용한 분석을 실시하였으며 VAR 모형을 이용하였다. 이를 수행하기 위해 단위근 검정을 실시했으며 Granger 및 Toda-Yamamoto 인과 검정을 통하여 관계를 확인하였다.

우리나라는 항만 인프라가 뛰어나며, 석유화학단지를 보유하고 있기 때문에 동북아 오일 허브의 가능성이 충분하다. 특히 부가가치가 높은 STS(해상환적작업)는 국가 경제에 크게 기여하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 화학공업생산품, 석유정제품, 그리고 원유를 전국, 부산, 울산, 그리고 여수/광양 물동량으로 분류하였다. 그리고 이들 간의 수입, 수출 및 환적의 그랜저 인과관계를 살펴보았다. 단위근 검정을 위하여 ADF, PP, KPSS를 적용하였다. 또한 VAR모형과 Toda and Yamamoto의 확장된 VAR모형을 활용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 각 지역에 따라 그랜저 인과관계 유무에 차이가 있는 것을 발견하였다. 또한 컨테이너와 비컨테이너로 구분해서 분석한 결과 화물 종류에 따른 차이가 나타났다. 따라서 항만에 대한 정부의 정책이나 인센티브제도와 같은 지원은 획일화 보다는 지역, 화물의 종류, 화물의 운송 형태 등에 따라 차별화가 요구된다.

This paper tests empirically the causal relationship between bank loans and the monetary base before and after the adoption of inflation targeting in seven Asia-Pacific countries using Toda-Yamamoto Granger non causality test and the bootstrap test for causality. The most striking finding is that the bank loans Granger cause the monetary base during the inflation targeting period in all the countries, except Japan, which was under the influence of the quantitative easing, whereas the causality appeared diverse before the inflation targeting regime. This result implies the need for the policy makers to take the endogenous nature of the money supply into account in the modern economy.

The present study aims to investigate the impact of tourism growth on human development in Indian economy. For this purpose, the study uses annual data from 1980 to 2018 and utilizes two proxies for tourism growth - tourism receipt and tourist arrivals - and uses human development index calculated by UNDP. The study uses control variables such as government expenditure and trade openness. The study employs auto regressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to investigate the cointegrating relationship among the variables in the model. Further, the study also explores the causal nexus between tourism sector and human development by using the Toda-Yamamoto Granger non-causality test. The result of ARDL bounds test reveals the existence of cointegrating relationship between human development indicators, government expenditure, trade openness, and tourism sector growth. The cointegating coefficient confirms a positive and significant relationship between tourism sector growth and human development in India. The causality result suggests that economic growth and tourism have a positive impact while trade openness has a negative impact on human development in India. The major findings of this study suggest that tourism plays an important role in the socio-economic development of Indian economy in recent years and the country must develop this sector to achieve sustainable development.

It is undisputable that crude oil and its price fluctuations are major components that affect most of the countries' economies. Recent studies have demonstrated that beside the impact that crude oil price fluctuations have on common macroeconomic indicators like gross domestic product (GDP), inflation rates, exchange rates, unemployment rate, etc., it also has a strong influence on stock markets and their performance. This relationship has been examined in a number of settings, but it is yet to be unraveled in the Omani context. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to examine the possible effect of the oil price fluctuations on stock price movements. The study applies Toda and Yamamoto's (1995) Granger non-causality test on the daily Oman stock index (Muscat Securities Market Index) and oil prices between the period of 2 January 2003 and 13 March 2016. The results indicated that the oil price fluctuations have a significant impact on stock index movements. However, the stock price movements do not have a significant impact on oil prices. These findings have significant implications not only for the Omani economy but also for the economy of similar countries, particularly in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The latter should carefully consider their policies and strategies regarding crude oil production and the generated income allocation as it might potentially affect the financial markets performance in these countries.

Energy and energy consumption play an important role in strategies for socio-economic development of the country. In 1995, Vietnam officially entered the 500 kV North-South transmission power line exploits, with a full length of 1,487 km. The purpose of this study is to investigate the breakpoint and the transition effect of energy consumption to economic growth in Vietnam during the period of 1980-1994, and 1995-2016. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach and the Bounds test are used to test for the presence of cointegration, whereas the Toda and Yamamoto procedure Granger causality test is used for the direction of causality. The result of the Bounds test validates the existence of cointegration among the included variables. The empirical results provide evidence that energy consumption has a positive impact on the economic growth of Vietnam in the long run. The causality test shows that there is bi-directional causality between energy consumption and economic growth, supported feedback hypothesis. There is a breakpoint in 1995 and the contribution of energy consumption in economic growth in the period of 1995-2016 is lower than the stage 1980-1994. This study suggests Government authorities explore new sources of energy to achieve sustainable economic development in the long run.

The paper aims to investigate whether foreign direct investment (FDI) has positive effect on the labour productivity in Vietnam. Labour productivity is the elemental determinant of a country's development level in long-term. In recent years, although increasing consistently, labour productivity of Vietnam remains low in comparison to other South East Asian countries. To identify the direction of effect and the level of effect of FDI and human capital on the labour productivity of Vietnam, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was used to examine the effect of FDI and human capital on labour productivity in Vietnam from 1986 to 2014. The results of bounds test confirm the existence of cointegration among the variables. Further, the Toda and Yamamoto Granger causality test affirms that there is unidirectional causality running from foreign direct investment and human capital index to labour productivity. The empirical results provide strong statistical evidence that foreign direct investment and human capital has a positive impact on labour productivity in Vietnam in long-term. These findings imply that workers are expected to further improve their knowledge, skills and that policy-maker should establish concrete plans to increase human capital. Results from this study provide suggestion necessary for Vietnam to achieve sustainable development.
