Economic Openness and Growth in MENA: Evidence from Dynamic Heterogenous Panel Models

This paper explores the impact of openness on economic growth in MENA countries using a heterogeneous panel data approach over the period 1979-2019. We have found higher domestic capital stock and school enrollments to attribute to the region’s economic growth. However, the empirical results support a weak indirect association between economic performance and openness of MENA countries using different globalization measures. Our findings support that MENA countries have limited economic growth gains from globalization.

Abstract

This paper explores the impact of openness on economic growth in MENA countries using a heterogeneous panel data approach over the period 1979-2019. We have found higher domestic capital stock and school enrollments to attribute to the region’s economic growth. However, the empirical results support a weak indirect association between economic performance and openness of MENA countries using different globalization measures. Our findings support that MENA countries have limited economic growth gains from globalization.
