The empirical results reveal that both monetary and fiscal policies in the region had been undermined in achieving their intended purposes because of increasing capital flight and external debt. Also, the concurrent occurrence of capital flight and external debt has been a hindrance to progress on the continent, particularly by undermining domestic investment. These results call for more practical measures in addressing the issues of foreign debt and capital flight, given the critical importance of domestic private investment for both short- and long-run growth.}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1588-970X}, pages = {523-542}, orcid-numbers = {Kiss, Gábor Dávid/0000-0003-0373-9970} } @{MTMT:3322058, title = {Capital flight and external debt in Heavily Indebted Poor Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa: An empirical investigation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3322058}, author = {Ampah, Isaac Kwesi and Kiss, Gábor Dávid and Kotosz, Balázs Gyula}, booktitle = {Challenges in national and international economic policies}, unique-id = {3322058}, abstract = {Over the past few decades, Sub-Saharan African countries, in their bid to achieve economic growth and development have resorted to external borrowings, propelling them to the status of Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC), when their debt reached unsustainable levels in the early 2000s. Unfortunately, the economies of these countries reported only steady growth with successive periods of high inflation and undesirable balance of payments deficits, leading scholars to ask whether external debt really can contribute to growth. At the same time, there is now considerable evidence that the build-up in debt was accompanied by increasing capital flight from the region. Employing Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimation and datasets from 1990 to 2012, this paper investigated the apparent positive relationship between capital flight and external debt in Sub-Saharan Africa, taking Heavily Indebted Poor Countries in the region as a case study. The results revealed that external debt exerted a positive and statistically significant effect on capital flight both in short and long-run, suggesting that if foreign borrowing remains unchecked, it will continue to lead to massive capital outflow in Heavily Indebted Poor Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.}, year = {2018}, pages = {135-159}, orcid-numbers = {Kiss, Gábor Dávid/0000-0003-0373-9970} } @article{MTMT:3411188, title = {Macroeconomic Volatility and Capital Flights in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Dynamic Panel Estimation of some Selected HIPC Countries}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3411188}, author = {Kiss, Gábor Dávid and Ampah, Isaac Kwesi}, doi = {10.2478/mjss-2018-0148}, journal-iso = {MED J SOC SCI}, journal = {MEDITERRANEAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES}, volume = {9}, unique-id = {3411188}, issn = {2039-9340}, year = {2018}, eissn = {2039-2117}, pages = {165-176}, orcid-numbers = {Kiss, Gábor Dávid/0000-0003-0373-9970} } @article{MTMT:3396420, title = {Impacts of Aid for Innovation on Economic Growth in the Sub-Saharan African Countries}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3396420}, author = {Udvari, Beáta and Ampah, Isaac Kwesi}, doi = {10.2478/mjss-2018-0119}, journal-iso = {MED J SOC SCI}, journal = {MEDITERRANEAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES}, volume = {9}, unique-id = {3396420}, issn = {2039-9340}, year = {2018}, eissn = {2039-2117}, pages = {99-108} } @inproceedings{MTMT:33831861, title = {EXTERNAL DEBT AND CAPITAL FLIGHT: IS HERE A REVOLVING DOOD HYPOTHESIS IN GHANA?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33831861}, author = {Ampah, Isaac Kwesi and Kiss, Gábor Dávid}, booktitle = {DOKBAT 2017}, unique-id = {33831861}, year = {2017}, pages = {21-35}, orcid-numbers = {Kiss, Gábor Dávid/0000-0003-0373-9970} } @inproceedings{MTMT:3355458, title = {External debt and capital flight. is there a revolving door hypothesis in Ghana?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3355458}, author = {Ampah, Isaac Kwesi and Kiss, Gábor Dávid}, booktitle = {DOKBAT 2017}, unique-id = {3355458}, year = {2017}, pages = {21-34}, orcid-numbers = {Kiss, Gábor Dávid/0000-0003-0373-9970} } @article{MTMT:3365828, title = {Wagner versus Keynes: the causal nexus between Government Expenditures and Economic Growth: An Empirical study of Burkina Faso}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3365828}, author = {Ampah, Isaac Kwesi and Kotosz, Balázs Gyula}, doi = {10.1515/JHEEC-2016-0005}, journal-iso = {JOURNAL OF HETERODOX ECONOMICS}, journal = {JOURNAL OF HETERODOX ECONOMICS}, volume = {3}, unique-id = {3365828}, issn = {2344-4150}, year = {2016}, pages = {74-101} }
