This paper revisits the nature and direction of causation between globalization and economic growth in nine OECD countries and China by applying the bootstrap panel Granger causality test to the data over the period of 1981-2008. Empirical results support evidence on causality from globalization to economic growth for Netherlands and the UK; causality from economic growth to globalization in the US, neutrality for Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Italy, and Japan. Based on the empirical results from this paper, we provide important policy implications for the OECD countries and China.

Linder theory is one of the main theories of the international trade based on the demand side. It implies that the countries with similar demand structures trade more intensely with one another. This study presents empirical evidence in support of the Linder theory of international trade for selected OECD Countries. In order to analyze the validity of Linder hypothesis for these countries, Panel Tobit approach has been employed using the annual data for the period 2001-2005. The empirical results provide evidence supporting the panel tobit model in terms of applicability and robustness. The results of the study also show some insights in support of the Linder hypothesis for OECD Countries.

This article examines the impact of tourism development on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries by particularly exploring the role of energy markets in the environment–tourism relation. We find that tourism growth raises more CO2 emissions in the future, and that greater CO2 emissions return a lagged and negative impact on tourism development. Our empirical results suggest that an improvement in energy efficiency simultaneously benefits the sustainability of both tourism development and the environment.

Abstract. A number of people believe that results from neuroscience have the potential to settle seemingly intractable debates concerning the nature, practice, and reliability of moral judgments. In particular, Joshua Greene has argued that evidence from neuroscience can be used to advance the long-standing debate between consequentialism and deontology. This paper first argues that charitably interpreted, Greene’s neuroscientific evidence can contribute to substantive ethical discussions by being part of an epistemic debunking argument. It then argues that taken as an epistemic debunking argument, Greene’s argument falls short in undermining deontological judgments. Lastly, it proposes that accepting Greene’s methodology at face value, neuroimaging results may in fact call into question the reliability of consequentialist judgments. The upshot is that Greene’s empirical results do not undermine deontology and that Greene’s project points toward a way by which empirical evidence such as neuroscientific evidence can play a role in normative debates.
