Abstract :
We applied the ARDL model in order to investigate the longrun and the short-run relationship among Domestic saving (dependent variable), Gross Domestic Product, inflation, foreign direct investment, urban population growth, remittances, tax revenue and broad money (independent variables). Time series Data were obtained from 1976- 2017 from the website of World development indicator (WDI). Results of ARDL show that all variables have a significant effect on gross domestic saving in the long-run, but CPI has insignificant effect on gross domestic saving in the long-run. CPI and UPG have a negative relation with gross domestic saving in the long-run while other variables have a positive relation with gross domestic savings in the long-run. Remittances and tax revenue have insignificant effect while other variables have a significant effect on gross domestic saving in the short run. Only urban population growth has a negative effect on gross domestic saving in the short-run. It is recommended that Proper policies may be framed and adopt for financial institutions of the selected countries in the study for the purpose to achieve main goal of economic growth, capital formation. On the other hand Policies of income effect and prices effect should be presented and adopted for constructive changes in behavior of saving.
