Macroeconomic conditions and the relationship of macroeconomic variables have a major impact on the economic performance of countries. Understanding these relationships helps policymakers manage macroeconomics better. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between economic growth, inflation, interest rate and exchange rate in selected Muslim countries (Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Pakistan, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar). Therefore Panel VAR method was used for this purpose. The study used panel data from selected countries over the period 2000–2016. According to the results, all variables are stationary and the model was stable. According to Granger causality results inflation rate, exchange rate and interest rate were the cause of economic growth; inflation rate, economic growth and exchange rate were the cause of economic growth rate; inflation rate, economic growth and interest rate were the cause of exchange rate and only inflation had not the Granger's causality. Exchange rate, interest rate, and inflation had positive effects on economic growth based on impulse-response functions. Exchange rate, interest rate, and economic growth had very short-term and negatively positive effects on themselves. Exchange rate, inflation and economic growth have had a negative effect on the interest rate. Finally, the effect of interest rate is unclear on exchange rate and inflation rate and economic growth had negative effect on economic growth.

In this study, the effect of horizontal and vertical diversification policies on economic growth in Iran is investigated. The approach applied is Markov Switching regimes, for annual data series 1979-2015. The growth rates of horizontal and vertical diversification, consume expenditure, and investment as well as inflation rate are the variables which are used in this study. The results show that inflation rate, consume expenditure and vertical diversification growth have positive and significant effect, in both 0 and1 regimes, on economic growth. Furthermore, the horizontal diversification and investment growth also have positive effect on economic growth but only in 0 regime. Additionally, the predicted economic growth rate under three proposed scenarios, for 2016 and 2017 years, show that we can reach 8 percentage as medium growth rate in the sixth development program with emphasizing on vacant capacity, especially horizontal and vertical diversification policies.

Identifying the factors that contribute to sustained economic growth of countries is the main concerns of economic researchers. The present paper employs a Bayesian econometrics approach based on Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) method to investigate the effect of public and private health expenditure on economic growth in developing economies. The empirical findings show that public health expenditure positively and private health expenditure negatively affect on the long-term economic growth of developing countries. Also, hospital beds do have a positive important role in explaining long-term economic growth.

In this article, the relationship between capital structure and return on equity is examined. The relationship between capital structure and return on equity is of considerable importance to all firms and banks. The banking industry is especially sensitive to changes in financial leverage due to their low level of equity capital to total assets. This paper surveys the relationship between capital structure and return on equity. The results show that there is a positive relationship between financial leverage and the return on equity. The analysis is extended to determine the relationship between return on assets and equity capital. The evidence supports the hypothesis that there is a positive relationship between equity capital and return on assets. The result of article showed that there is a positive relationship between profitability and debt ratio.
