Climate-smart agriculture
In Ghana, Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) is essential to improving the production, resilience, and sustainability of high-value perennial crops like mangos. However, there are no empirical data regarding the variables influencing mango growers’ acceptance of CSA, especially in the climate-sensitive Yilo Krobo Municipality. Using survey data from 112 farmers and a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, this study used a Tobit regression model …
Effects of Covid-19 and government stimulus packages on the resilience and recovery of micro, small, and mediumenterprises in Ghana
This study examines the impact of pandemics, such as COVID-19, and government stimulus packages on the profits of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Ghana. This study’s key contribution is using the triple hurdle model, combining logit and fractional logit regression, to provide a robust analysis of MSME resilience. The study assesses how the COVID-19 pandemic, socio-economic factors, and stimulus packages influenced MSME profitabili…
An economic valuation of the Bunso Eco-Park, Ghana
This research aims at [1] identifying the factors that influence visits to Bunso Eco-Park; [2] estimating the recreational demand function for the park; and [3] estimating visitors’ net benefit (consumer surplus) for embarking on an eco-park recreational trip to Bunso using a sample size of 440. Estimates indicate that the annual person value of the site is Gh¢ 191.06 ($ 22.29) translating into an annual economic value of Gh¢ 9,170,880 (US$ 1,070…
Covid-19 emergency income grant and food security in Namibia
This paper evaluates the effects of the government's COVID-19 economic stimulus and relief package (emergency/one-off income grant of ND750) on household food security in Namibia during the period of the lockdown. The analysis reveals that a household that received the income grant ($42 equivalent) experienced about 11%−17% reduction in food insecurity compared to their non-recipient counterparts. We also found that the effect was relatively high…
The power of faith
Religion plays a significant role in the lives of many Ghanaians, yet its influence on individual decision-making remains underexplored. This study investigates how religion shapes Ghanaians’ choices across various domains, including food consumption, fashion, career, marriage, trust in religious leaders, and contraception usage. Using survey data, the Relative Importance Index (RII), and regression analysis, the RII results show that religion ac…

Impact of African leaders’ characteristics and regime transitions on economic growth in Africa
This paper examined the extent to which leaders’ characteristics and regime transitions impact on economic growth. A unique panel dataset, comprising 44 sub-Sahara African countries from 1970 to 2010, was used for the study. We used the differenced generalized methods of moments’ estimation to test our dynamic model for the dataset controlling for leader specific effects. We observed that democratic leaders were able to attract foreign direct inv…
