Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Drivers of Sustainability Transitions in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Despite growing emphasis on sustainability transitions in developing economies, evidence remains limited on how environmental, social and governance (ESG) conditions shape sustainability outcomes in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). This study examines the environmental, social and governance drivers of sustainability transition performance across 39 SSA countries over the period 2000–2023. A composite sustainability transition performance index (STPI), …
From Innovation to Sustainability
The transition toward circular and sustainable growth remains a major challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), where resource constraints, limited recycling capacity, and infrastructure deficits constrain environmental performance. Drawing on circular economy and innovation systems perspectives, this study examines how financial technology (FinTech), green trade (captured by ICT goods imports and trade openness) and knowledge systems shape circular…
Bridging the energy gap
The impact of environmental policy, technological innovations, and digitalisation
Natural resource abundance, governance, and government expenditure
This study examines the quest for environmental sustainability in Africa by analyzing the roles of natural resource abundance, governance quality, and government expenditure. It explores the relationships between these variables, employing the N‐shaped hypothesis across 42 African countries from 1986 to 2020 grouped into resource‐rich and resource‐poor countries. Utilizing the Lewbel 2SLS modeling technique, the research evaluates how these facto…
Natural resource extraction and environmental sustainability in Africa
We examine the effect of natural resource extraction on environmental sustainability in Africa. Using comprehensive panel data from 30 countries for the 2004–2021 period, we find that natural resource extraction reduces environmental sustainability, particularly in resource‐poor countries. However, the nature of this nexus is time‐varying, with natural resource extraction exerting a positive and negative impact on environmental sustainability in …
Achieving environmental sustainability in Africa
We investigate the causal impact of the development of financial institutions on environmental sustainability in Africa. Drawing on a distinctive panel data set encompassing 34 countries from 1980 to 2017, with carbon emissions serving as an indicator of environmental sustainability, we discover that enhanced development of financial institutions leads to increased carbon emissions, especially in relation to the depth of these institutions. Furth…
Examining Finance-Growth Nexus
This paper examined finance-growth nexus in the finance industry and the influencing factors of economic indicators which deliberate on the performance of the Solow Growth model to prove the actuality of financial development (FD) inside the economic growth (EG) model, based on the regional data from 1980 to 2017 in Africa. We applied the econometric method of GMM style panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) and panel quantile regression (PQR). With …
Economic Growth and Environmental Quality
Environmental expenditures (EX) are made by the government and industries which are either long-term or short-term investments. The principal target of EX is to eliminate environmental hazards, promote sustainable natural resources, and improve environmental quality (EQ). Thus, this study looks at the impact of economic growth (EG), and government finance expenditure (GEX) on EQ in Northern Africa and Southern Africa (NASA) republics from 2000-20…
