Institutional Governance and Global FDI Convergence
The global investment landscape presents challenges as subdued growth prospects, geopolitical tensions, and economic disintegration reshape international investment. Increasing tensions are making globalization more exorbitant and uncertain. Increasing trade barriers, intensified scrutiny of investments, and reputational risks are shaping foreign direct investment (FDI) strategies, prompting a shift in focus from efficiency to navigating geopolit…
Do Public‐Private Partnership Investments Influence Poverty in Southern African Economies? A Panel VAR Approach
As Southern African economies continue to struggle with achieving Sustainable Development Goal 1 (eradicating poverty), there is an increasing need for strong collaboration between public and private sectors to accomplish this goal, as the public sector cannot achieve it alone. Based on this, this study examines the influence of public‐private partnership investments (PPPI) on poverty and its severity in Southern African economies from 2000 to 20…
The Environmental Concern-Behavior Gap in South Africa
Despite widespread concern for environmental issues, a noticeable gap between concern and pro-environmental actions persists across countries and cultures. This study examines this gap in South Africa, analyzing the relationship between income and pro-environmental behavior using the ISSP 2020 Environment dataset. Linear regression results reveal that income positively correlates with concern-behavior gaps in recycling and green purchase behavior…
Meritocracy and Inequality in South Africa
In light of rising global inequality, public concerns for inequality have been declining. This paradox of inequality has been explained by the rise in meritocratic beliefs in some developed countries. Untested in South Africa, the most unequal society, this study aims to report on these issues by investigating the impact of meritocratic and nonmeritocratic beliefs on redistribution preferences in South Africa. Using the International Social Surve…
How did African stock markets react to the Russia-Ukraine crisis “black-swan” event? Empirical insights from event study
This study builds on the recent literature by investigating how various types of African stock markets responded to the Russia-Ukraine crisis (commonly referred to as the black-swan event). The empirical analysis used in this paper centred on event study analysis, a statistical technique used to measure the impact of a specific event. The findings show that the black-swan event had a significant negative impact on African stock markets (14/20), w…
I am, therefore I preserve
Extensive research on pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) reveals a significant knowledge gap in understanding the influence of social class, perceived status and the middling tendency on pro-environmental behaviour. Using the International Social Survey Programme Environment dataset, and conducting multilevel mixed-effects linear regressions, we find that the middling tendency and biased status perceptions significantly influences pro-environmenta…
Remittance and carbon dioxide emissions in the Southern African Customs Union region
The remittance-carbon dioxide ( C O 2 ) emissions nexus remains a hotly debated topic in the literature, with the majority of studies offering mixed conclusions. This study attempts to reconcile these disparities by investigating the nonlinear effect of remittances on the C O 2 emissions in top-remittance receiving countries in Southern African Customs Union (SACU) region, using the modified Environmental Kuznets Curve framework which focuses on …
Symmetric and asymmetric effects of financial deepening on income inequality in South Africa
The aim of this study is to examine the financial development-inequality nexus in South Africa from 1980 to 2017, specifically if financial deepening reduces income inequality. The initial results indicate a positive association between financial deepening and income inequality. On further exploration, we find evidence that the Greenwood and Jovanovich hypothesis holds for South Africa. We observe an inverted non-linear relationship between finan…
Determinants of Bias Perceptions in South Africa
While objective class dynamics have received much attention in South Africa, less is known about the subjective social positions individuals place themselves in. For example, in a highly unequal society like South Africa, some individuals would overestimate (inflate) or underestimate (deflate) their social position compared to their objective class position. This paper aims to provide further information on status inconsistency in South Africa by…
Determinants of Subjective Social Status in South Africa
Recent studies suggest that South Africa has experienced increased income polarization and is dealing with a struggling middle class. However, with some studies reporting a strong middling tendency, there seems to be a large discrepancy between how people perceive their social position and their actual economic status. Surprisingly, even with the most unequal society label, South Africa has received little attention on the dynamics behind how peo…
Remittances and subjective well-being
Using all five waves of the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) panel dataset, we examine the effect of domestic remittances on the static and dynamic subjective well-being (SWB) of recipient individuals in South Africa, by using a random effects ordered probit model that accounts for individual heterogeneity. Moreover, we check the robustness of our static model results by making use of an instrumental variable for migrants’ remittances. Two m…
