本文試圖分析加納的外債積累及其對經(jīng)濟增長的影響。為了全面了解其對經(jīng)濟的影響,我們將對1980-2017年這38年期間的信息進行仔細的實證檢驗。選擇這一時期是為了涵蓋后債務(wù)減免時代之后的時期,而且加納的外債存量在過去10年中一直在增加。外債有促進經(jīng)濟增長的潛力;然而,缺乏審慎的債務(wù)管理框架可能會適得其反。這方面的文獻常常產(chǎn)生相互矛盾的結(jié)果。一些文獻假設(shè)外債積累對經(jīng)濟增長有負面影響,而另一些文獻則預(yù)測有正面影響,有些文獻甚至認為這兩個變量之間根本不存在相關(guān)性。學(xué)者們提出了各種理論來解釋外債問題。這一理論包括雙重差距分析,解釋了經(jīng)濟發(fā)展是有關(guān)于投資的函數(shù),然而這種投資在國民儲蓄率不足的情況下是無法促進經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的。本文利用1980-2017年加納國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值、外債存量、外債支付和匯率的時間序列數(shù)據(jù),實證檢驗了外債積累對加納經(jīng)濟增長的影響。首先,本文采用的估計策略包括增廣Dickey-Fuller(ADF)檢驗、向量誤差修正和Johansen協(xié)整評價,用于檢驗1980-2017年間變量之間的因果關(guān)系。第二階段的結(jié)果表明,從長期來看加納國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值增長率與外債之間存在著顯著的正相關(guān)關(guān)系,表明外債對...
