The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of factors affecting capability poverty in the selected Muslim countries known as the D8 group relying on the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) method during the period of 1997-2021. Results show the negative and significant effect of globalization on capability poverty in the D8 countries during the covered period, such that for each unit increase in the globalization index, capability poverty decreases by 1.8%, which indicates a relative improvement in the welfare of these countries. Likewise, the impact of economic growth on capability poverty is positive, so that a one percent increases in economic growth leads to an increase in capability poverty by 0.21 percent. Such finding can be due to not utilization of the benefits of growth to improve welfare infrastructure in the mentioned countries. In addition, the effect of control variables such as inflation and geographical distribution of the population has also been evaluated positively on capability poverty. Based on the findings of the current study, it is recommended to adopt inflation control programs and moving towards the promotion of globalization indicators in the economies of the D8 group.

Achievement to higher levels of economic welfare has always been one of the strategic purpose of developing countries. Despite of the large number of studies done in the field of cognition factors affecting economic welfare indicators there is still no general agreement on the main factors influencing. This research shows that a large part of cause is ignoring the technology gap between developing and developed countries. Because of welfare in developing countries is strongly influenced by technology imports from developed countries. The present study investigates the effect of foreign R&D spillovers on the welfare of sanctioned countries during the period 2000 to 2016 using the econometric method of data panel estimation. TheF results show that the interaction effect of foreign R&D spillovers on human capital has a positive and significant effect on Sen’s Social Welfare Index and a 1% increase in the interaction of foreign R&D spillovers on human capital leads to a 10% increase in Sen’s Social Welfare Index. Also, government expenditures, per capita income and inflation have a positive and significant effect on Sen’s Social Welfare Index, and each percent increase in these variables leads to 9, 94 and 19 percent increase in Sen’s Social Welfare Index, respectively. The dummy variable of sanction has a negative relationship with the Sen’s Social Welfare Index, but its coefficient is not significant.
