Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The existence of financial institutions and services precedes realising economic growth.

    “Against this argument, it is possible to conclude that the existence of financial institutions and services precedes realising economic growth (Beck and Levine 2004; Odhiambo 2009; Ibrahim and Alagidede 2018).”

  • The structure of an economy has its own impact on the relationship between financial development and economic growth.

    “Contemporary empirical evidence suggests that the structure of an economy has its own impact on the relationship between financial development and economic growth (Ibrahim and Alagidede 2018; Sohag et al. 2015).”

  • The results differ from Law and Singh (2014), Arcand, Berkes, and Panizza (2015), and Ibrahim and Alagidede (2018).

    “Our results also differ from Law and Singh (2014), Arcand, Berkes, and Panizza (2015), and Ibrahim and Alagidede (2018).”

    From How Does Financial Development Impact Economic Growth in Pakistan?: New Evidence from Threshold Model (2020) · cites this paper as Ibrahim and Alagidede (2018)

  • Ibrahim and Alagidede (2018) find that financial development only has a significant and positive effect on growth after an initial financial development threshold-level, at odds with our results.

    “Based on data from 29 SSA countries over the period of 1980-2014, they find that financial development only has a significant and positive effect on growth after an initial financial development threshold-level, at odds with our results.”

    From Finance-growth nexus in sub-Saharan Africa (2021) · cites this paper as Ibrahim and Alagidede (2018)

  • Smoothing the business cycle effect and controlling for endogeneity with the estimation of a dynamic threshold model reinforce the findings in the large sample and the alternative estimation method, but do not support Ibrahim and Alagidede's (2018) results.

    “Hence, smoothing the business cycle effect and controlling for endogeneity with the estimation of a dynamic threshold model reinforce our findings in the large sample and the alternative estimation method, but do not support Ibrahim and Alagidede's (2018) results.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
