Abstract
Prior research has identified outward-oriented policies as a far superior approach to achieving economic growth. Whilst trade openness determines economic growth in the short run, institutional quality is critical to long-term viability. However, the direct and indirect effects of institutions have been understudied, particularly for the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. This study addresses this issue by estimating long-run and short-run elasticities using the system GMM and pooled mean group models and identifying its country-specific impact using the fully modified ordinary least square model. According to the findings, trade and institutions are only short-run complements of economic growth. In the long run, however, the lack of good governance limits the positive impact of trade openness.
期刊介绍：
Economic Papers is one of two journals published by the Economics Society of Australia. The journal features a balance of high quality research in applied economics and economic policy analysis which distinguishes it from other Australian journals. The intended audience is the broad range of economists working in business, government and academic communities within Australia and internationally who are interested in economic issues related to Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Contributions are sought from economists working in these areas and should be written to be accessible to a wide section of our readership. All contributions are refereed.
