In this context, the symbol ∆ represents the first difference of variables. The
coefficients α1 to α5 are associated with short-term effects, while β1 to β5
pertain to the long-term effects of GDPG, debt, labor, human capital, and
physical capital, respectively. To assess the short-term relationship, the
approach suggested by Hendry (1995) is employed. The short-term impact of
debt on growth is computed using ∑qj=1 1 α2,i j (1-∑pj=0 α1,i j) for
significant coefficients.
Upon establishing a long-term relationship between the dependent variables
and regressors, the panel Error Correction Model (ECM) (as expressed in
Equation ()) can be articulated as follows:
p q1 q2 q3 q4
lnΔ CDE¿ =α i+ ∑ α 1 , ij lnΔCDEi , t − j+ ∑ α 2, ij lnΔGDPi ,t − j+ ∑ α 3 , ij lnΔREC i ,t − j + ∑ α 4 ,ij lnΔEi i ,t − j + ∑ α 5 ,ij lnΔAPi ,
j=1 j=0 j=0 j=0 j=0
Where θi signifies the coefficient of the Error Correction Model (ECM), serving as a measure of the
adjustment speed towards long-run equilibrium that occurs each year. The selection of the optimal lag
length for the ECM model is conducted using Akaike's lag selection criteria. Given the constraints posed
by the limited number of annual observations, a maximum lag length of three is chosen to determine the
most suitable specification.
