MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: In this paper, we try to search the effect of unemployment on the relationship between domestic investment and economic growth. Data for MENA countries over the period 1998 – 2022 are applied for panel data analysis. Empirical analysis validates that domestic investment impact positively on economic growth. However, unemployment has a negative incidence on economic growth. Also, the outcome of domestic investment on economic growth attests to be influenced negatively by unemployment.
