Abstract

This study examines the linear and non-linear threshold impacts of transparency on economic growth in 70 developing countries from 1984 through 2018, utilizing panel generalized method of moments (GMM) and dynamic-panel threshold estimations. We find that the impact of transparency on growth is stronger when we use non-linear GMM, and dynamic-panel threshold estimations. There is a U-shaped relationship between transparency and economic growth, while transparency is found to stimulate economic growth, especially in a high-transparency threshold regime. The result reveals that financial development plays an important role in moderating the transparency–economic growth nexus in developing countries.
