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.

This paper examines the relationship between control of corruption and globalization (with various aspects) on economic growth in countries with high per capita income, middle per capita income, and low per capita income over the period (2002-2010) using panel data from113 different countries. According to the results of the various models, there is an inverted U relationship between control of corruption and economic growth. Moreover, the relationship between economic globalization and economic growth in countries with low per capita income is negative and significant. Also, social globalization in these countries has a negative impact on economic growth. However, overall index of globalization and political globalization has a positive impact on economic growth in these countries. Furthermore, in countries with high per capita income and middle per capita income, the impact of the three indicators of globalization (economic, social and political) and the overall index of globalization on economic growth is positive and significant.

In recent decades, the process of globalization and its effects have resulted in movements on the side of ethnic minorities, called ethnic conflicts and ethnic tensions in developing countries particularly in those with ethnic varieties. On the other hand, increase in social and political awareness leads to reinforced morale and solidarity towards common national preferences and interests besides an increased plea for pacifism and social and political equilibrium on the side of minorities. As a consequence, this new stable and peaceful status will pave the path for economic growth as a results of which access to social and economic rights will be facilitated and injustice will decrease. Finally, the foregoing results will lead to decreased violence and conflicts and the provision of more facilities under this new air of mutual understanding. In this study, we examined the effect of economic –social variables on ethnic tensions in selected 11 countries of the MENA (Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates) by using panel data for (1984-2009) period. Results show that economic - social variables (unemployment, inflation, income inequality) have positive significant effects on ethnic conflicts. On the other side, economic growth has negative significant effect on ethnic conflict.

Globalization, the process of considerable increase in international trade, global exchanges and markets’ integration as a fundamental characteristic, are emerging inevitably. Investigating the way in which this process affects economic variables, can be a guidance of decision making for policy makers. Considering structural economic differences between urban and rural societies in Iran and using 1350-1386 Iran’s economy dataset, first we compared the efficiency of VAR and VEC models with artificial neural network (ANN) approach in forecasting measure of income distribution inequality of urban societies and finally the best model (ANN) has used as an out-of-sample forecasting tool in different designed scenarios from 1387 to 1395. Choosing ANN model, decrease in urban societies’ income inequality during globalization process, is the main result.

Economic development programs, especially in developing countries, as much as national economies interaction with the global economy, are affected by economic globalization process. It has also been shown that the national economies, are seriously affected by this phenomenon. Economic development at the national level, without the active interaction with the global economy suffers a serious challenge. On the other hand, the development programs in developing countries are influenced by the size of government. Towards globalization, governments should take actions to create and promote a competitive environment. In too many studies, the impact of globalization on government size has been analyzed but the results have not been the same. In this paper, using panel data and econometric methods, the effects of globalization on the size of government in selected Asian countries (Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia and Iran) have been studied. The results show that economic globalization has not reduced the size of government in these selected countries.

Import, which is the basis for significant effects on economics, is influenced by various factors that are essential to be recognized and examined. One of the issues that can influence the demand for import in each country is joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) which can, in fact, affect the demand for import through strategies such as decreasing tariff rates and increasing the extent of mergers in international commerce and relative prices (domestic and foreign prices). In this regard, and considering the high proportion of capital and intermediate commodities in the total import of the country, this article evaluates the effects of Iran joining WTO on the import of capital-intermediate commodities, using Vector AutoRegressive method using the data during 1971-2008. The findings of the study reveal that at long term, the import of such commodities has had high sensitivity towards international commerce and merger in international economies and little sensitivity towards tariff rates and relative prices during the above-mentioned period. The findings of both long-term and short-term periods confirm each other. Also the impulse response function and variance decomposition analyses show that the effect of one standard error which shocks involvement in import demand of studied goods, is approached to zero in three years and integration of international trade is most effective on variations of that demand.
