Sustainable development outcomes of tech-based industrialization in emerging markets
Industrialization is vital for economic growth, producing goods using technology, skilled labour, and efficient processes, driving innovation and employment. This study scrutinizes government spending and financial inclusion on the relationship between tech-intensive manufacturing value added and sustainable development in emerging and developing countries. We define technology intensity by the proportion of Medium-High Technology (MHT) manufactu…
Natural Resource Wealth and Access to Clean Cooking Technologies in Sub‐Saharan Africa
The study examines both linear and non‐linear relationships between natural resource rents and access to clean cooking technologies in Sub‐Saharan Africa from 2000 to 2024. It employs the Driscoll‐Kraay and the two‐step system GMM estimators to address cross‐sectional dependence and endogeneity. The findings reveal a complex relationship: negative linear and positive non‐linear associations. The positive non‐linear linkage suggests that as natura…
Navigating Macroeconomic Shocks and Energy Vulnerability
A well‐established body of literature examines how energy market dynamics translate into macroeconomic instability. However, the reverse relationship remains largely overlooked, particularly in low‐income settings. This omission is especially consequential in developing economies, where persistent macroeconomic volatility directly constrains households' capacity to secure affordable energy. Against this backdrop, the study examines both the linea…
The Conflicting SDGs of Agricultural Productivity and Agro-Environmental Sustainability in Africa
This study uses technological infrastructures to inform evidence-based policy design, addressing the conundrum of agricultural productivity and agro-environmental sustainability in Africa. The investigations are done using the Instrumental Variable Two-Stage Least Squares (IV-2SLS) strategy to control for potential endogeneity, covering the period 2000–2020. The findings show that farmers, in their pursuit of greater productivity, often adopt uns…
Agricultural Budgetary Support and Emissions Outcomes
This study explores the potential of agricultural budgetary support as a lever for climate action within the Sustainable Development Goal 2.4.1 framework, which emphasizes sustainable and resilient farming practices. Specifically, it investigates first, the linear and non‐linear effects of agricultural budgetary support on greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector, and second, examines the role of governance in moderating this relatio…
Building Resilience in Times of Crisis ( SDG 1.5)
This study contributes to the literature by providing the first empirical assessment of how resilience capacities shape shock exposure among artisanal fishing households in Cameroon, distinguishing between internally displaced and immigrant populations. It introduces a novel application of the endogenous switching regression (ESR) model to capture selection dynamics across displacement status while jointly examining multiple dimensions of vulnera…
Establishing a sustainable fishing industry
This paper examines the effects of fishing activities on sustainable fisheries in the Cameroon fishery bodies, while exploring the moderating impact of environmental stringency, fishery training and education infrastructure. A large-scale survey data, covering 511 fishermen and aqua farmers in 25 fishing localities is employed to establish the study's findings. The Conditional Mixed Process (CMP) Ordered Probit and the endogenous switching regres…
Households’ resilience capacity in the Cameroon fishing communities
Does Women Empowerment Promote Sustainable Development in Developing Countries
On the question of whether women empowerment is a vector of sustainable development or not, the jury is still out. This study probes into the relationship between various aspects of women empowerment (political and socioeconomic) and sustainable development, taking into account the environment, social, and economic dimensions. The paper uses the system Generalized Method of Moments to analyze data from 44 developing African economies (1996–2022).…
Advancing agro-environmental sustainability in Africa
Agro-environmental sustainability schemes are set up to harmonize agricultural productivity with environmental conservation, ensuring long-term food security while safeguarding ecosystems. This involves implementing practices that conserve resources, minimize pollution, and maintain biodiversity. By aligning with sustainable development goals, this approach promotes resilient, equitable, and environmentally sustainable agricultural systems. This …
Religious freedom and welfare in Africa
Objective Regions with multi‐ethnicity like Africa benefit from religiosity and freedom for improved mental and physical well‐being. Although religious freedom in its original sense advocates for peace, there are questions about whether it results in making healthy decisions that are beneficial to one's well‐being. This argument is made in light of the crimes carried out globally in the name of religious freedom, even though it is considered to b…
