The majority of existing studies have focused on either aggregate total ODA flows or regional distribution, although motivations for ODA allocation could differ by sector. Using a panel data set of 127 recipient countries over 16 years, this study investigates the determinants of Korea’s ODA allocation, especially grants, across five main sectors - specifically, education, health, public administration, technology, and agriculture. We find that the sectoral ODA allocation is generally determined by various factors and their impacts vary across sectors. It should be noted, however, that ‘the total ODA volume’ and ‘the status of Korea’s priority country’ show consistently positive coefficients regardless of sectors. Moreover, it was found that this effect continues to have a powerful impact even after Korea became an OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) member. The finding implies that political and strategic factors play a key role in determining the sectoral ODA allocation of Korea. For sectoral ODA disbursement to be further concentrated toward a smaller number of recipient countries, this study suggests that the number of priority countries should be reduced than the status of quo.","PeriodicalId":15602,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic development","volume":"46 1","pages":"85-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70078191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It appears that both human capital and social factors have significant explanatory power to explicate the monthly income of the household. The OLS and quantile regression suggest that the effects of social factors are superior to that of human capital on the monthly income. The estimates further reveal that urban people get 18% more wage than their rural counterparts, and people engaged in the non-agricultural sector received 25% higher wages than the agricultural sector. Besides, female workers receive 36% less wage than male workers. Nevertheless, there is a distinct effect of the human capital and social factors in the gender and rural-urban context. The study recommends, a reorient policy to properly address these gender wage gap, sectoral and area-specific issues of the labor market with a view to ensuring the fair income distribution and inequality reduction.","PeriodicalId":15602,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic development","volume":"45 1","pages":"29-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70077186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach and Granger causality test was used. Firstly, the ARDL estimation suggests a positive and statistical significant relationship between education, internet users and mobile cellular telephone and GDP per capita in both the short- and long-term. Natural disasters have a negative effect on economic growth and education. The result indicates that internet users and mobile cellular telephone has a positive effect on natural disasters and education. Secondly, Granger causality reveals that there is bidirectional relationship among education and GDP per capita. Results show a unidirectional from internet users, mobile cellular telephone to natural disaster. In addition, there is a unidirectional causal relationship from natural disaster to GDP per capita in developing country, but this result is unobservable in developed country.","PeriodicalId":15602,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic development","volume":"45 1","pages":"93-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70078052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this study, we empirically investigated the nexus between Remittance and Household consumption under the assumption of both symmetric and asymmetric from 1993 to 2017 of a panel of 105 countries. Symmetry investigation performed with Panel ARDL proposed by Pesaran et al. (1999) and asymmetry test executed with the idea of nonlinear ARDL proposed by Shin et al. (2014). For establishing directional causality, we also performed a Panel Granger-causality test under the error correction term. Study findings unveiled an asymmetric relationship between remittance flows and household consumption both in the long run and in the short run, however, the coefficients elasticity explained greater magnitude in the short-run than the long run. Study findings exposed unidirectional causality from remittance to household consumption in the short-run. The effect of remittance inflows on household consumption at the aggregate level is evident. Therefore, the government should persuade integrated economic policy for the effective deployment of remittance flows in productive investment for increasing aggregate production and economic welfare at large.","PeriodicalId":15602,"journal":{"name":"Journal of economic development","volume":"45 1","pages":"1-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70077082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
