Description of data: There are five data
files, excluding the README file, namely:
LDC46.DAT
EP18.DAT
IS28.DAT
WB10EP.DAT
WB24IS.DAT
Data in each of the files are arranged as follows:
COLUMN 1 Serial number of observations in the sample
COLUMN 2 Average annual percentage growth rate of real gross
domestic product (GDP)
COLUMN 3 Average annual ratio of foreign direct investment
to GDP (%)
COLUMN 4 Average annual ratio of domestic investment to GDP
(%)
COLUMN 5 Average annual percentage growth rate of labour force
COLUMN 6 Average annual percentage growth rate of real exports
LDC46.DAT: This file contains data on all the 46 developing
countries in our sample, arranged in ascending order of their
imports-to-GDP ratio (see the Appendix table of our paper
for the list of these countries).
EP18.DAT: This file contains data on the 18 export-promoting
countries in our sample. These countries are selected on the
basis of the CUSUM-CUSUMSQ test (see Appendix table of our
paper for list of these countries - the last 18 countries
in the file LDC46.DAT)
IS28.DAT: These are the import-substituting countries in
our sample, selected on the basis of the CUSUM/CUSUMSQ test.
They are the first 28 countries in the file LDC46.DAT (see
Appendix table of our paper for the list of these countries).
WB10EP.DAT: This file contains data on the 10 countries from
our sample that correspond to the World Bank classification
of export-promoting countries (see Appendix table of our paper
for the list of these countries).
WB24IS.DAT: This file contains data on the 24 countries from
our sample that correspond to the World Bank classification
of import-substituting countries (see Appendix table of our
paper for the list of these countries).
