Abstract

This paper aims to investigate how external debt influences selected socio-economic variables in a sample of the five biggest emerging nations of the world, i.e., the BRICS block from 1996 to 2020. The data was found to have cross-sectional dependence, which was addressed by using second-generation unit root tests of CIPS and CADF. Cross-sectional dependence was further effectively addressed using the techniques of FMOLS. The study uses the ARDL models to achieve the desired objective. Dumitrescu Hurlin’s (DH) panel causality analysis was adopted to analyze the variables' causality. The study found that, in the long run, External Debt has a positive impact on Unemployment and Life Expectancy while it has a negative impact on Net National Income. The results are also consistent in the short run, except in the case of unemployment, which has been shown to reduce with an increase in the external debt component of the country.

外债危机与社会经济影响:金砖国家的证据
本文旨在研究 1996 年至 2020 年期间,外债如何影响世界五大新兴国家(即金砖五国)的选定社会经济变量。通过使用 CIPS 和 CADF 的第二代单位根检验,发现数据具有横截面依赖性。使用 FMOLS 技术进一步有效地解决了横截面依赖性问题。本研究使用 ARDL 模型来实现预期目标。采用 Dumitrescu Hurlin(DH)面板因果关系分析法来分析变量的因果关系。研究发现,从长期来看,外债对失业率和预期寿命有积极影响,而对国民净收入有消极影响。这些结果在短期内也是一致的,但失业率除外,失业率随着国家外债的增加而降低。
