This chapter has considered the methodological basis for all the following chapters of the book. The Research Approach used a comparative heuristic approach to compare the outcomes of reform in the Arab region with those in other world regions. The chapter presented the empirical model of the study, which is primarily driven by the augmented Solow-Swan growth model with TFP. This approach allows computing all control variables identified by ‘Barro-type regression’ into only six separate groups. The chapter also displayed the econometric techniques, including any modelling issues and problems, as well as provides techniques for solving these problems.
