The irony of use-water-wisely
There are limited qualitative studies on attitudes and behaviours toward water conservation in middle- and low-income countries. This study explored water conservation attitudes and behaviours of participants using a qualitative descriptive method, involving interviews with conservation experts. Respondents perceived water conservation as an efficient use of water to preserve it for future generations. While all respondents were conscious of wate…
University learners’ educational experience survey
Intense competition among universities with its negative consequences has necessitated the investigation of students’ academic experiences as it influences students’ university choices. To bridge this gap, this study seeks to examine students’ satisfaction with their educational experience at two selected universities in Ghana. Utility Maximisation Theory was deployed to guide the study. Relevant research ethics principles were duly observed. We …
Disaggregated behavioral responses to willingness‐to‐pay for the electronic levy in Ghana
This study investigates the disaggregated behavioral responses of mobile money users' willingness to pay for electronic levy payments in Ghana. We use cross‐sectional survey primary data and a probit regression estimation technique with its associated average marginal effects and check robustness with a linear probability model. The evidence from the study indicates that the disaggregated behavioral factors that drive willingness to pay for the e…
Environmental consciousness and household energy poverty in Ghana
The energy poverty literature has identified numerous factors that influence the phenomenon. However, only a limited number of studies examine the role of environmental consciousness, especially in the case of cooking fuel. This variable might be essential due to the close association of energy poverty with environmental quality to aid the overall environmental sustainability discourse. This study investigates the level of environmental conscious…
Trust in government and electronic levy payment decisions in Ghana
Governments in many developing countries have consistently experienced budgetary shortfalls due to several problems including tax evasion and avoidance. An important social capital identified in the literature that drives an individual's behaviour towards responding positively to taxation is trust. Leveraging on the theory of trust, we disaggregate trust in government into trust in the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary, and investigate the ext…
Achieving food security in Ghana
This study complements the extant literature by assessing the role of governance dynamics in food security in Ghana for the period 1980–2019. The empirical evidence is based on the fully modified ordinary least squares technique and governance is categorized into political (entailing political stability and voice and accountability), economical (consisting of regulatory quality and government effectiveness), and institutional (entailing corruptio…
Is an all-inclusive educational policy a determinant of voting behaviour in Ghana
Purpose In this study, the authors investigate Ghana's Free Senior High School policy as an all-inclusive development policy that drives voting behaviour. Design/methodology/approach Using the snowball sampling technique and a statistically representative sample size of 413 eligible voters from Ghana, the authors estimate a multinomial logistic regression with its marginal effects. Findings The results show that as the number of Free Senior High …

Domestic water improvement behaviour
Although water is important for human livelihoods, access and use of improved domestic water for households in most developing countries is still a major problem. Households adopt several domestic water improvement mechanisms to improve the quality of their water before consumption. However, the drivers of the probability to engage in this behaviour have not been adequately explored in developing countries. Therefore, this study investigates the …
Does environmental knowledge drive pro-environmental behaviour in developing countries? Evidence from households in Ghana
Renewable energy consumption in Africa
This study investigates the role of economic well-being and economic freedom as drivers of renewable energy consumption using the share of renewables in total energy consumption in Africa. To achieve this, the study employs a panel data of 32 African countries over the period 1996-2017. To deal with identification challenges associated with panel time-series data, we use the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares econometric technique. As part of our fin…
