Abstract

In this paper author attempted to analyse India’s international GDP share during 1960-2015 with the help of econometric models taking the data from the World Bank. Semilog linear trend model and exponential trend model were used to find the trend of growth. Variance ratio test was used to show random walk. AR(1) model was used to show stationary, convergence and oscillations. ARIMA (1,1,1) model was tested for the stationary of the series. Forecast for 2035 of the AR(1) and ARIMA(1,1,1) models verified stationary long term patterns. Bai-Perron (2003) model explained to show structural breaks and the study of Bartoletto, Chiarini, Marzano & Piselli (2015) was followed to compute peaks, troughs, durations of cycles, amplitudes and slopes of both the short and medium cycles during 1960-2015. Hodrick-Prescott Filter (1997) model minimized the cycles for smoothness of trend of GDP share.The paper concludes that international GDP share of India has decreased at the rate of 0.459% per year during 1960-2015 and declined exponentially at the rate 0.259% per year significantly. The growth rate of the GDP share is downward sloping significantly till 2030.
It follows random walk without drift. Its AR(1) is stable, convergence and stationary. Forecast for 2035 of AR(1) is also converging. ARIMA(1,1,1) is stable and non-stationary and suffers from AC and PAC problems. Its forecast model for 2035 is tending towards stationary insignificantly. GARCH (1,1) showed excessive volatility. It has two downward structural breaks in 1968 and 1988 and one upward break in 2006 which are significant. The paper verified short and medium cycles to calculate peaks and troughs, duration of downturn and upturn, amplitude and slope of the cycles respectively. HP filter model makes the cycle more smooth with only one trough assuming lamda comprises 1600 but symmetric and asymmetric filter showed two peaks and two troughs. The frequency response function clarified its peaks and amplitude of cycle clearly.Keywords: international GDP share, exponential growth, structural break, non-stationary, HP filter, peaks,trough.

1. Introduction

The world’s GDP share of India is an important indicator which can explain the nature of Indian economic development in comparison to other international economies. During ancient past of economic development of India, it was evident that India’s world GDP share was highest till 1500 AD and India was the dominant country. During 1500-1650, China was dominant followed by India, and then during 1650-1750, India was dominant followed by China. Since 1870, the world scenario changed rapidly due to rise in western civilization and industrial revolution where Europe was the dominant country and India and Chinese GDP started to decline rapidly. After the First and the Second World Wars, USA’s dominance in trade, finance and commerce outweigh UK dominance and USA became the largest GDP share holder in the world up till now. And India’s share has been falling till 1993, and then upswing started in but it is too little in comparison to other nations. During 1AD, India’s share was 33%,followed by 30% in 1000AD,24% in 1500-1700AD, 17% in 1820AD,7% in 1913, and now it is 2.79% in 2015 respectively. But, within 2025, China will recover his previous historical dominance in terms of GDP in the world. In Figure 1, India, China and other nations’ world GDP shares are plotted during 1AD-2008AD for comparative study.

Abstract

In this paper, author tried to find relation of foreign direct investment inflows with its determinants like growth rate, interest rate, exchange rate, inflation rate, fiscal deficit, openness in India during 1971-2015 through causality, co-integration and vector error correction models. In this paper, it was attempted to explain clearly that how foreign direct investment inflows and outflows have changed during several financial crises in different regions of the world since 1970s in support with a historical analysis over global financial crises. The paper concludes that FDI inflows in India has been catapulting at the rate of 21.56% per year during 1971-2015 and exponentially at the rate of 0.6044% per year significantly. It has four upward structural breaks in 1985, 1994, 2000 and 2006 respectively during the specified period. FDI inflows in India has causal relation uni-directionally with fiscal deficit, and bi-directionally with inflation, exchange rate, interest rate and growth rate during 1971-2015.Johansen co-integration test confirmed that Trace Statistic contains four co-integrating equations and Max Eigen Statistic has three co-integrating equations. VECM is stable, non-stationary and not
good fit for four estimated equations and error corrections for the equations of change of interest rate and inflation rate showed significant with speeds of 23% and 103% per year. The paper also concludes that FDI does not cause Granger financial crises, but financial crises do cause Granger FDI.

Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, economic growth, financial crises, co-integration, vector error correction.

Introduction

Foreign Direct Investment has several dimensions. It affects host countries’ balance of payments and development process. It has long run effects on economic growth and sustainable development which depend on the character of FDI. However, the nexus between growth and FDI is indeterminate since it varies from region to region, country to country and from period to period although the globalization, liberalization and privatization drives accelerated the speed of the nexus towards positive direction irrespective of the distribution of income. Historically, FDI changes from merchants’ capital to multinational investments, from imperialistic attitude to trade domination through economic integration (via financial integration) in international trade and finance.
FDI does not cause crises directly, but it has indirect causes of bubbles and busts. Debt finance through FDI may stimulate debt burden under recession. Financial and banking crises may emerge if FDI in banking sector find losses and shut downs. Yet we cannot avoid the fact that FDI does not Granger cause of financial crises
but financial crises do Granger cause FDI changes which were observed in all the financial crises in the world.
Since the Baring crisis in 1870, India’s FDI was dominated by British imperialism through East India Company whose chief competitors were Dutch East India Company, Danish East India Company, Portuguese East India Company, French East India Company and Swedish East India Company respectively. In 1913, India’s foreign investment stood 35% of GDP and per capita foreign investment was 6 dollar at 1900 US dollar and foreign
direct investment as percent of domestic capital stock was 9%.Presently,India’s FDI inflows is very low in comparison to other countries ,e.g. in 2017 , India’s FDI was accounted as 1.9% of GDP and government of India expects it to rise to 2.5% of GDP with in next five years. In 2017, Mauritius was the top donor country to India comprising 11.47 billion US Dollar followed by Singapore 5.29 billion US Dollar, Netherlands 1.95 billion US Dollar, USA 1.33 billion US Dollar and Germany 934 million US Dollar respectively. As on 2017, Service sector is leading the sectoral distribution of FDI i.e. 8.68 billion US Dollar followed by
telecommunication 5.56 billion US Dollar, Computer hardware and software 3.65 billion US Dollar, Trading..............

APPLICATIONS OF ECONOMETRICS IN ECONOMICS---BOOK REVIEW

Application of Econometrics in Economics

Bhowmik, D. (2017). Applications of Econometrics in Economics. New Delhi: Synergy Books, 332 pages,
1695 rupees, ISBN 978-93-82059-49-3.
According to Karl Popper, one of 20th century’s greatest philosophers of science, “theories are nets cast to
catch what we call ´the world´: to rationalize, to explain, and to master it”. And that is right. Scientists and
researchers seek to catch reality by mean of theories. In the case of economics, we seek to catch “economic
reality”. We have economic theories. In fact, there are several approaches within economic theory (neoclassical
economics, behavioral economics, institutionalism, post-Keynesianism, etc.). But we need specific tools and
methods in order to evaluate in a rigorous way the connection between our theories and economic reality. In
that context, econometrics become a very important aspect of research in economics.
So, in the book Applications of Econometrics in Economics, which is a compilation of Debesh Bhowmik’s
papers, we can find several demonstrations of this in practice since Dr. Bhowmik shows how econometrics
can be used in several ways to perform interesting and relevant research with respect to different aspects of
economic reality (namely, growth, inflation, employment, productivity, crisis, international trade,
globalization, financial integration, poverty, inequality, etc.). In that vein, he writes: “Nowadays, quantitative
economics plays an important role in theory and in practice where econometric models and their applications
in the economic analysis have acquired both the educational values and policy prescriptions” (p. xvii).
Basically, the econometric applications in the book are focused on time series analysis. For example, in the
paper “Causes behind the euro crisis”, Bhowmik uses ARIMA and GARCH models and he find that “nominal
euro/dollar exchange rate is stationary, convergent and volatile during 1999Q1-2015Q2” (p. 1). In addition,
there are several papers which use cointegration analysis like “An analysis of convergence and cointegration
of sectoral shares and growth in India”, “Cointegration between world trade, gold and SDR” and “Convergence
and cointegration of credit deposit ratio and Indian economic growth”. Relevant tests as the Granger causality
test are also applied and interesting results are obtained. For instance, in the paper “Economic growth, foreign
direct investment and financial crisis” it is found that “FDI does not cause Granger financial crises but financial
crises do cause Granger FDI” (p. 57). The book also includes applications of VAR models, which have the
important advantage that they allow to avoid endogeneity problems given that in this kind of models all the
variables are considered as endogenous. Thus, in the paper “Cointegration and VAR analysis in Indian growthunemployment-inflation linkages” it is concluded that “the policy makers should choose either inflation or
unemployment as the target variable to achieve specified growth rate and formulate other macroeconomic
policies” (p. 191). We can also find applications of the specific variant known as vector error correction model
(VECM). For example, in the paper “Is there any relation between gold price and inflation in India” one of the
main results is that “the estimated VECM states that the first difference gold price is significantly related with
the change of inflation rate (percentage change in CPI) and the change of WPI [wholesale price index] of the
previous periods and even related with the change of gold price of the previous period significantly” (p. 231).
However, it must also be said that the book has limitations. As was mentioned previously, it has several
applications of time series analysis. But there are no detailed applications of data panel analysis (in general
this is only mentioned in the section “Literature review” of some papers). So, I am very much of the opinion
that it would be valuable to include that in a next edition of the book because data panel methods (random
effects models, fixed effects models, Arellano-Bond estimators, panel cointegration analysis, etc.) are very
important in applied research.
By other hand, Bhowmik’s discussions also include valuable comments about the conditions for a rigorous
application of econometric tools. For example, in the paper “Poverty, inequality and globalization with special
reference to India”, he says: “India’s database is very poor in comparison to other developed nations. The
collection, compilation and interpretation data through NSS should be more scientific and modernized. More

emphasis must be given in collecting time series data in poverty, inequality and globalization so that policy
prescription through measuring modern tools can be applied in the framework of planning” (p. 278).
Thus, it is clear that Dr. Bhowmik’s book is of considerable importance for applied econometricians because
it addresses very diverse topics using different econometric tools with great mastery. Of course, like any
econometric analysis and result, what is presented in this book is debatable because it depends on numerous
methodological and procedural choices. But this is something that affects every work of applied econometrics.
The point is that, if we have the data (which would be our quantitative connection with reality), we can validly
discuss different methodological approximations in order to “catch” economic reality in quantitative models
with relevant qualitative meaning. In that context, the book explains in detail how data is processed and this
allows the discussion. And from discussion comes out the light. So, this book will help to illuminate our path
to a better and deeper understanding of economic reality.

ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author explains the trend lines, random walk, stationary,
structural breaks, and volatility of FDI inflows in India during 1971-2015. Both
log linear and exponential trends are significant. FDI inflows are stationary and
showed four structural breaks in 1985, 1994, 2000, and 2006. The author found the
relation among FDI inflows, growth rate, interest rate, inflation rate, exchange rate,
fiscal deficit, external debt, and trade openness with the help of Granger causality,
Johansen cointegration test, and vector error correction models. Trace statistic
has four cointegrating equations, and Max Eigen statistic has three cointegrating
equations. The speed of the vector error correction process is more or less slow
except for change in interest rate and change in inflation rate, which are significant
where VECM is stable and diverging. Limitations and future scope of research is
added. Policy recommendations are also included.
INTRODUCTION
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an investment in a business by an investor from
another country for which the foreign investor has control over the company purchased.
The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) defines
control as owning 10% or more of the business. Businesses that make foreign direct
investments are often called multinational corporations (MNCs) or multinational
enterprises (MNEs). FDI provides a win – win situation to the host and the home countries. FDI as a strategic component of investment is needed by India for its
sustained economic growth and development. FDI is necessary for creation of jobs,
expansion of existing manufacturing industries and development of the new one.
Indeed, it is also needed in the healthcare, education, R&D, infrastructure, retailing
and in long term financial projects. Need of FDI depends on saving and investment rate
in any country. Foreign Direct investment acts as a bridge to fulfill the gap between
investment and saving. In the process of economic development foreign capital helps
to cover the domestic saving constraint and provide access to the superior technology
that promotes efficiency and productivity of the existing production capacity and
generate new production opportunity. Foreign investments mean both foreign portfolio
investments and foreign direct investments (FDI). FDI brings better technology and
management, marketing networks and offers competition, the latter helping Indian
companies improve, quite apart from being good for consumers. The effectiveness
of FDI in bringing about the desired growth may be constrained by the level of
infrastructural developments and other macroeconomic variables . Infrastructural
development, openness and domestic market size are major determinants of FDI.
Even, exchange rate and interest rate may influence FDI inflows. Besides, balance of
payments adjustment is a good correlation with FDI flows. Political instability and
financial crises influence FDI flows negatively. Alongside opening up of the FDI
regime, steps were taken to allow foreign portfolio investments into the Indian stock
market through the mechanism of foreign institutional investors. The objective was
not only to facilitate non‐debt creating foreign capital inflows but also to develop the
stock market in India, lower the cost of capital for Indian enterprises and indirectly
improve corporate governance structures. FDI have helped India to attain a financial
stability and economic growth with the help of investments in different sectors. FDI
has boosted the economic life of India.
By allowing MNC in Indian economy, the government of India with the help of
World Bank and IMF introduced the macro-economic stabilization and structural
adjustment program. As a result of these reforms India open its door to FDI inflows
and adopted a more liberal foreign policy in order to restore the confidence of foreign
investors. Further, under the new foreign investment policy Government of India
constituted FIPB (Foreign Investment Promotion Board) whose main function was
to invite and facilitate foreign investment.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
In this paper, the author endeavors to explain the patterns of behavior of India’s foreign
direct investment inflows during 1971-2015. Besides, the author tries to relate FDI
inflows with macro variables like growth rate, interest rate, inflation rate, exchange

DAILY EXCHANGE RATE BEHAVIOUR OF SPECIAL DRAWING RIGHTS PER YUAN

-Dr.Debesh Bhowmik 

Key words- SDR Yuan exchange rate, Autoregressive model,ARIMA model,GARCH model,volatility of exchange rate

JEL-C22,C52,F3,F31

Summery
After the inclusion of Yuan in SDR, the paper scrutinizes the daily exchange rate behavior of SDR per Yuan from 1/12/2015 to 16/2/2016 because monetarists predicted that RMB will be more volatile. The paper conducted to find out semilog trend values of exchange rate including residuals test for serial correlation, heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation and coefficient test for confidence ellipse. The paper verified the autoregressive models at lag one and three for which visibility of autocorrelations were also tested. Even, Box and Pierce(1970) ARMA model is estimated for stationary and stability of the series. Finally, to test volatility the ARCH test has been done including GARCH, and its conditional variance following Bollerslev(1986).The structural break was tested by Bai-Perron model(2003).
The paper showed that the estimated semilog linear  model of the daily exchange rate of SDR per Yuan during 1/12/2015 to 16/2/2016 showed that the exchange rate has been decreasing at the rate of 0.0697% per day which is statistically significant.
The paper showed that the exchange rate is declining, showing stationary and stability but marginal volatility is observed in the ARCH and GARCH models that can be minimized if China slowly and steadily introduce the capital account convertibility and financial sector reform including Yuan internationalization and if China can integrate policy of shore price and onshore pricing.

The sequential F statistic of break test are significant at 5% level which are shown in Table where repartitions were observed at 8,18,26 observations respectively.
After the declaration of the inclusion of RMB in SDR basket in November,2015, the SDR per Yuan is marginally depreciated with US Dollar which follows naturally with spot market rate with SDR and the more volatility was observed since then as predicted by the monetarists. But, the above models showed that those errors can be minimized through good management technique of stabilising exchange rate policy which can be helpful through new liberalized interest rate policy of PBC which can increase offshore and onshore liquidity and minimize their price differences, can follow convergence of forex market, can do more swapping, speed up 20-20 development strategy, introduce macro prudential management, to increase more RMB payments centers, increase linkages between offshore and onshore markets, and increase scope of FTA and so on. To face the absolute gap between RMB fixing and the previous trading day close , the investors can use HKEx’S USD/CNH futures based upon their trading preferences and investment objectives, either as a cost efficient risk management tool to hedge against RMB price risk, to capitalize on short term trading opportunities, or to exploit price discrepancy across the offshore and onshore markets.



The paper concludes that the SDR per Yuan daily exchange rate is not much volatile as has been found from several models studied here and the fear about volatility due RMB inclusion in SDR might be media effect and is not justified because China had already liberalized interest rate and depreciated RMB recently by about 6% that could not boost the volatility of the exchange rate abnormally rather the process of capital account convertibility and measures on Yuan internalization have been continuing speedily. Yet, China has to face competition in the freely floating exchange rate and interest rate with US Dollar and Euro in commodity, money, capital and stock markets respectively where it will have to increase its market capitalization and turn over.
