Therefore, this study came to examine the effect and relationship between bank credit allocation to Agriculture, Industry, Service, Export and to the whole economic sectors independently and Real GDP in Ethiopia at different using time series data for the period that span from 1980 to 2015. The paper examines whether a long-run relationship between bank credit allocation to these sectors and economic growth measured by Real GDP exist in Ethiopia. It employs Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) approach to assess how bank credit allocation to these sectors contributes to growth. It further used the granger causality test so as to find the direction of causality between bank credit allocation to these sectors and economic growth. The findings support the existence of feedback effect or bi-directional causality between Total bank credit to the economy and Real GDP. Moreover, the empirical results point out that the efficiency of the bank credit facilities in major economic sectors at level and lags has an important role in the Ethiopian economic growth both in short- and long-runs. This shows that there is a need to enhance the role of financial sector for different economic sectors by adopting more appropriate macroeconomic policies. 2017-04-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/2991 Title: EXCHANGE RATE REGIME CHOICE AND ITS IMPACT ON EXPORT VOLUME IN EMERGING NON OIL ECONOMIES OF 7 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN COUNTRIES (Ethiopia, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia) Authors: TEFERA, ABIY 2017-04-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/2693 Title: Assessment of Urban Development Indicators (UDIs) of Addis Ababa City Administration Authors: Mamo, Tsion 2016-09-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/2692 Title: DETERMINANTES OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN ETHIOPIA: TIME SERIES ANALYSIS Authors: TEWELDE, ROZINA Abstract: Numerous studies in recent years have focused attention on the determinants of foreign direct investment in developing countries. This paper contributed to this body of knowledge by filling a noticeable gap. Principa lly, this paper examines the determinant of foreign direc t investment in Ethiopia for the period 1981 - 2014 . In recent years, most developing countries have liberalized their trade and attempted to create enabling environment to attract Foreign Direct Inv estment (FDI). Ethiopia, like many developing countries, have taken remarkable measures towards liberalizing trade and the macroeconomic regime as well as introducing some measures aimed at improving the FDI struc tural and regulatory framework. The study g ives an extensive look at the theoretical underpinnings and conducts empirical analysis across various developing countries to establish the determining factors of FDI in Ethiopia. The results show ed that real GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and liberalizatio n, among others, have positive impact on FDI. On the other hand, macroeconomic instability, real effective exchange rate, adult illiteracy rate and poor infrastructure are found to have adverse impact on FDI. These results entail that liberalization of th e trade and regulatory regimes, stable macroeconomic and political environment, and significant improvements I , n infrastructure are indispensible to attract FDI to our motherland. On the other hand, the annual capital flight out of the country is also found to be significant in this study. 2016-06-01T00:00:00Z
