Applying OLS (Fixed and Random effects), Instrumental Variables (IV) and Limited Information Maximum Likelihood (LIML) estimations, empirical results indicate that resource-FDI inflows hinder economic growth in the GCC economies, while non-resource FDI has an insignificant effect on growth. Moreover, the total Greenfield FDI inflows deter economic growth in GCC economies. These results give evidence on the crowding-out effect of resource-FDI. This paper opens new insights for policymakers in designing a comprehensive policy on direct FDI inflows (resource and non-resource) for attaining sustainable economic development for the long run.","PeriodicalId":43184,"journal":{"name":"Economics and Business Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67430021","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}

By drawing data over 8 years and dataset from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB), we found that Chinese FDI outflows to Europe are driven by the recipient country's fundamentals (trade openness, resource, institutional quality, and economic growth). These findings confirm the current literature while asserting counterintuitive facts. One of many points is that China is less likely to seek out the investment channel in the large economic status. More importantly, this study differs from extant literature by using the disaggregated panel data of bilateral FDI and trade openness. Therefore, our results would draw policy implications in terms of international finance.","PeriodicalId":43184,"journal":{"name":"Economics and Business Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67430223","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}

We find that public approval of the lockdown significantly relates to the evolution of COVID cases, institutional trust, political ideology and personal economic situation.","PeriodicalId":43184,"journal":{"name":"Economics and Business Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67430331","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}

Empirical results from various panel data models confirm the nonlinear relationship between debt financing and firm profitability. This relationship takes the form of an inverted-U shape. Firm profitability only increases to a certain level of leverage. When the debt ratio becomes too high, firm performance starts to decrease. These results highlight the role of financial distress costs in debt financing for SMEs. Furthermore, the paper also confirms the heterogeneity between state-owned firms and private ones.

Therefore, policies to enhance the diversity of the boards havebeen implemented in many countries around the globe. However, previous findings on theimpact of female leaders on firm performance still remain inconclusive. Using a dataset of 20Vietnamese commercial banks over the period from 2013 to 2019, this paper examines whether the gender of the bank leaders such as CEOs or members of Management Team (MT), Board of Directors (BOD) have an impact on bank profitability and bank stability in Vietnam. Our findings suggest that banks with female CEOs tend to be more profitable and more stable than those with male CEOs. However, more women appointed to MT do not necessarily result in more profitable or more stable banks. More interestingly, the presence of women on banks’ board of directors implies lower profitability and more vulnerability for banks. Obtained findings imply important bank governance policies toward better performance and stability for commercial banks in Vietnam.
