Abstract: Ethiopian economic growth and corruption were examined over the long and short terms using annual time series data from 1996 to 2021. After taking into consideration human capital and the public sector, it has expanded Solow's (1956) neoclassical model of economic growth to include corruption by using a particular functional form for the entire factor of productivity. government spending on education, total fixed capital formation, and public spending. The Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag Bounds Test has been used to investigate the possibility of an ongoing relationship between corruption and real GDP per capita. The findings of the co-integration test confirmed the presence of a sustained correlation between corruption, real GDP per capita, and other variables influencing real GDP per capita. According to long-term evaluations, corruption has a significant impact on real GDP per capita. Real GDP was positively and significantly impacted by public investment in education, spending by governments on finances, and the creation of gross fixed assets. Model for Error Correction: The imbalance brought on by the shock of the previous year converges to the long-run equilibrium in the current year at a rate of -52%. The policy conclusion is that to ensure robust economic growth, Ethiopian governments at all levels need to develop efficient systems for combating corruption.

Abstract: Through the use of a quantitative methodology that is based on an exhaustive examination of secondary data, this study conducts an in-depth investigation of the complex link that exists between unemployment and inflation within the context of Sri Lanka's one-of-a-kind economic environment. In the course of this comprehensive research, which spans the years 1959 through 2022, a wide range of macroeconomic variables are methodically investigated with the purpose of elucidating the intricate linkages that exist between them. These convincing results of this analysis demonstrate a considerable negative association between unemployment rates and inflation, throwing light on the numerous issues that are inherent in the process of designing successful economic policies within this framework. The research strongly supports for the implementation of policy frameworks that are balanced and successfully target both job creation and price stability. This is because the study acknowledges that both are key aspects for encouraging economic growth that is both long-lasting and sustainable. It is important to emphasize that the dependence on secondary data sources has always influenced the historical emphasis, and the availability of data has thus been restricted. On the other hand, in spite of these limitations, this study makes a substantial contribution to the understanding of the complex mechanisms that drive the link between unemployment and inflation. Insights such as these serve as a solid platform for additional in-depth investigations and policy considerations that are customized to Sri Lanka's particular economic environment. This paves the way for decisions that are better informed.
