• Does the stock market cause economic growth? Portuguese evidence of economic regime change (2013, background): “…system and economic growth have been discussed mostly in quantitative terms, through crosscountry (e.g. King and Levine, 1993; Levine and Zervos, 1998) panel data (e.g. Luintel and Khan, 1999; Zang and Kim, 2007) and time series (e.g. Gries et al., 2009; Masih et al., 2009; Wolde-Rufael, 2009).”
• The impact of trade openness on economic growth: The case of Cote d’Ivoire (2017, background): “Gries, Kraft, and Meierrieks (2009) investigate the case of 16 Sub-Saharan African countries and do not find significant long-run relationships among the variables for most of the sample.”
• Financial development, trade openness and economic growth in African countries: New insights from a panel causality approach (2014, methodology): “1 The only two studies which have accounted for the impact of financial development and trade openness on economic growth are Gries et al.

• Economic growth, financial development and trade openness in Nigeria: An application of the ARDL bound testing approach (2016, background): “However, the existence of any meaningful relationship between the two has been challenged by Wolde-Rufael (2009) for Kenya, and Gries, Kraft, and Meierrieks (2009) for 16 Sub-Saharan African economies who noted that no prominent relationship exists among them.”
