Has the accumulation of foreign reserves protect the Thai economy from financial crisis?: An approach of Empirical likelihood

© Serials Publications Pvt. Ltd. In this article, we analyzed the effect of the accumulation of foreign reserves to economic growth in Thailand. In order to estimate of this impact, we employed a kink regression model which has an ability to capture a structure changed in the relationship between fo...

In order to estimate of this impact, we employed a kink regression model which has an ability to capture a structure changed in the relationship between foreign reserves accumulation and economic growth as well as identify the kink point of their relationship.
