A Study on the Relationship Between Unemployment Rate and Some Economics Factors in Myanmar and Neighboring Countries (Kyawt Kyawt San, 2018) Kyawt Kyawt San This study investigates the relation between unemployment rate and some economic factors in Myanmar and Neighboring Countries for the period of 1997-2_016 within panel data framework. The data of unemployment rate, GDP growth rate, manufacturing value added and inflation rate has been collected from World Data Bank. In this thesis, the data series have not been existed unit root after taking the first difference. This study examines the long run relationship between unemployment rate and some economic factors by using panel co-integration tests. Panel co-integration tests supportthat the stability of long-run relationship among some economic factors and unemployment rate. The long-run coefficients are estimated using fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) procedure. This result suggest that there exists a longrun elasticity equilibrium co-integration within the variables. In addition, the fixed effects and random effects modelling approach were applied in this panel data. In order to deter,srine the suitable model for estimating panel data, Hausman test and Lagrange Multiplier test were done. According to the results, the random effects model was more appropriate for the data. In the appropriate random effects model, the productivity and inflation rate have statistically significant and positive impact whereas GDP growth rate has a signifieant and negative effect on unemployment rate. 2018-12-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/8964
