Dimensions of debt in selected economies: Analysis on determinants, thresholds and effects on economy / Chandran Gunalan

This research examines three dimensions of public debt among a group of 12 uppermiddle Asian countries, as well as country-specific analysis on China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Turkey. An ARDL model was used to analyse the determinants of public debt, while Threshold Regression was applied...
