Abstract

Our study is aimed to investigate the effect of austerity measures on the economic growth. Besides that, this research wants to examine whether austerity is the solution of the current oil crisis in Algeria or not. To achieve this aim we have used a Non-Linear Autoregressive Lag Distributed model (NARDL) to illustrate the negative and positive changes in austerity measures and their effects on gross domestic product. The findings of our estimation provides that neither increasing taxes cuts nor reducing expenditures is a solution for the crisis, that what confirms empirically what Keynesian economists approve. Therefore, Algeria’s authorities must quickly find other solution rather than austerity policies.DOI: 10.15408/etk.v17i1.6799

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate if Islamic finance can solve the funding problem of SMEs and facilitate access to finance for SMEs, and how can these last participate in job creation in Turkey in order to face the problem of unemployment. The paper adopts a Vector Autoregressive model (VAR) based on monthly data (2009-2017). The results revealed that Islamic finance is a golden opportunity and a sufficient alternative financial source for SMEs. In addition, as SMEs can reduce unemployment by contributing to the labor market. This study contributes to the existing literature by presenting a promising financing tool to the prospective borrowers of SMEs (farmers, underserved groups, and small entrepreneurs) which is Islamic financing. This alternative can be an effective tool for both muslim and non-muslim countries in regard that conventional finance is more expensive and SMEs are unable to pay high interest rates. It would also help in establishing low unemployment levels.  This paper suggested that Islamic banks and Islamic financial institutions should converge more on the SMEs by providing funding to SMEs which would lead to boosting production and economic development.
