Abstract:

The paper sought to investigate the effect government expenditure on economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa using a panel data for 35 Sub-Saharan African countries for the period 2006-2018. The paper adopted dynamic panel data and estimates were achieved by using two-step system GMM while taking into account the problem of instrument proliferation. The paper provided evidence that education and health expenditure are key determinants of income growth for SSA. The impact of education spending on cross-country income variation is more effective in low income SSA countries than the middle income S

Abstract:

Africa is no longer behind in the race of acquiring global share of foreign direct investment (FDI) compared to other developing regions. This study uses FDI dataset of 27 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries and examines what drives the recent trend of higher FDI flows to Africa. A variety of empirical techniques (e.g. cross-section OLS, panel fixed effects and dynamic GMM) are employed for identifying main drivers of FDI in African countries. The finding of this research suggests that resource endowment is the main driver attracting FDI to SSA countries. More specifically, empirical estimates

Our results suggest that inclusion enhances bank stability in SSA and LAC countries, and financial regulation contributes to increasing financial stability in LAC countries, while we find no statistical significance in the effect of financial regulation on financial stability in SSA countries.

Abstract:

This study examines the threshold level of financial sector development on inclusive growth in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) between 2000 and 2020 with the view to ascertain the level of sustainability in the relationship between financial sector development and inclusive growth in SSA countries. Data extracted from the World Development Indicator (WDI) and International Financial Statistics (IFS) were analysed using dynamic panel threshold (DPT) techniques. Findings revealed that there exists a positive and significant sustainable level of financial sector development of 0.098 (out of a scale of 0

Abstract The effects of macroeconomic shocks and labour market institutions on employment in sub-Saharan African countries are examined in this study. Using a sample of 27 SSA countries for the period 2007 to 2018, both linear and interactive relationships are investigated. The results show that labour market institutions (especially in terms of wage flexibility) dampen the effects of shocks on modern employment but amplify the effects of shocks on informal employment in the sampled SSA countries. There is also evidence that shocks themselves (especially those emanating from the external secto

Abstract:

Several works have studied the consequences of industrialization on macroeconomic variables. However, the relationship between industrialization and education has not yet been studied, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The objective of this study is to fill this limitation of the literature by analyzing the direct effect of industrialization on education in 23 SSA countries during the period 2000-2018. Moreover, we analyzed the indirect effect between the two variables through the transmission channels. To achieve our objective, we mobilized the Driscoll and Kraay methods and System GMM.

Abstract:

The long-run relationship between human capital and economic growth in Sub Saharan African (SSA) countries was examined using An ARDL and ECM cointegration analysis approach. The endogenous and human capital theory posits that human capital accumulated acquired from the education system contributes to economic growth in any economy. Despite many years of huge government expenditure in education, SSA countries appears to experience little or no economic growth. Studies on the long term effects of human capital on economic growth in SSA countries remain few despite a growing body of research in

Abstract:

The variation in economic growth among nations has brought the issue of economic growth to the forefront. Growth in an economy is key for economic development. When "the country's total earnings increase", its population benefits. Economic growth is significant because it promote the competitiveness of any nation. One of the most striking challenges of economic growth in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries is poor governance, decline in the living conditions of the population, with the specter of widespread hunger plaguing people's perceptions.

However, strong institutions mitigate the negative effect of urbanization on public health outcomes. These results imply that SSA governments

There has been considerable research on the effect of democracy on trade openness since the 1980s when development strategies toward free trade and democracy were rapidly adopted in developing countries. Most studies have focused on Asian, Latin American, and former soviet bloc countries and few studies have focused on Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This study is an attempt to fill that gap and uses a gravity model approach to test the effects of democracy in SSA on trade.

Using a panel data set of 28 selected SSA countries from 1996 &ndash; 2015, a model was specified and estimated using the techniques of random effects based on results of the Hausman test. The results show that only bilateral aid has a significant negative impact on domestic savings of SSA countries, implying a crowding-out effect.

Foreign aid is aimed to promote economic growth by complementing the recipient country’s shortfall of financial resource. However, if the recipient country’s quality of governance and institutions is poor, the process of growth will be undermined. Since foreign aid to SSA countries has been increasing substantially in recent years, it is imperative to explore its impact on the level of corruption in the SSA countries.
