| Abstract: | Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between life expectancy, labor force participation, and education with respect to Morocco's economic growth. Methodology: the effects of endogenous and exogenous theories on economic growth are investigated in this study. we exploit the ARDL approach. the dependent variable in our panel data regression methodology was GDP per capita. 23 observations overall from Morocco between 2000 and 2022 are included in our analysis. Secondary data from World Bank databases was used in the study. the main objective of the essay is to present and provide data analysis. Methodological contributions: indicate that life expectancy and economic growth are positively correlated, however there is a negative link between labor force participation and education. Findings: the study's findings imply that Morocco's economic growth initiatives need to be long-term. Therefore, raising the population's standard of living is necessary to assist the implementation of economic growth initiatives. This study's originality may reside in the way it examines how life expectancy, education, and labor force participation affect economic growth. Research/Practical Implications: Morocco's expertise with this subject might offer a distinctive viewpoint to the corpus of empirical study that has already been done. |

| Abstract: | The aging population is expected by many to put an end to the high growth rates experienced in the past century. This paper shows that the aging population and the associated educational and innovative expansion induced by the demographic transition will expand the technology frontier in the 21st century and significantly override the adverse income effects of the aging population. To achieve this, the total income-effects through the channels of innovations, investment, education, and labor force participation are estimated using data over two centuries for 21 OECD countries. |

| Abstract: | We examine relationships between luminosity and local economic growth for counties in China and the US and districts in Indonesia. Many authors estimate treatment effects on local luminosity growth and transfer GDP-luminosity elasticities from elsewhere to calculate economic growth effects. Our insight is that these GDP-luminosity elasticities vary especially by spatial scale and metro status, and also by period and remote sensing source. The elasticities mainly capture extensive margins of luminosity. Measurement errors in popular DMSP data attenuate GDP-luminosity elasticities but aggregation-sensitivity persists even when using instrumental variables estimation. Consequently, claimed growth effects of various treatments may be quite inaccurate. |

| Abstract: | We study the process of long-run urban growth using a unique setting of close elections that determined “county seats” (capitals) in the frontier United States. Employing a regression discontinuity design, we show that winning towns rapidly became the economic and population centers of their counties as new migrants coordinated on them as destinations. This coordination was largest in the early years of a county’s history, but limited in later decades. Using generalized random forests, we show that the economic changes were not zero sum locally: specific choices of county seat could increase long-run county population and income. As county administration was limited in this era, the public sector did not play a substantial role in this growth. Instead, these results illustrate how a political process can select spatial equilibria through a shock that is neither related to locational fundamentals nor confers direct productivity advantages on the location. |
