Income inequality and conflict in sub-Saharan Africa
Purpose The main aim of the study is to investigate the role of resource endowment in the relationship between income inequality and conflict in SSA. The study aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 10 (reduced inequality) and SDG 16 (promoting peaceful and inclusive societies). Design/methodology/approach The study employs the Driscoll-Kraay cross-sectional and spatial-consistent covariance matrix estimat…
Is the resurgence in conflict across sub-Saharan Africa rooted in inequality
Purpose The study investigates the root causes of the resurgence in conflicts across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a battery of econometric methods, including the panel VAR Granger, the Dumitrescu and Hurlin causality test and the Driscoll and Kraay covariance matrix estimator. Findings The study reveals that income inequality fuels and contributes to conflict in the SSA. Specifically, we find that for som…

Impact of sectoral economic performance and fiscal capacity on public health expenditure in South Africa
This study analyses the long-run relationship between, and the direction and magnitude of impact of sectoral economic growth and fiscal capacity on government health expenditure. The study was carried out to validates the Wagner hypothesis from sectoral perspective and revenue-expenditure hypothesis for South Africa for the period 1984–2020. Fully modified least squares and dynamic least squares and canonical cointegration regression were used to…
Public finance and sustainable development in Sub-Saharan Africa
The objective of the research is twofold. The study examines the role of public finance in promoting sustainable development in SSA. Secondly, the study investigates the optimal level of public finance beyond which public finance crowds out investment and hinders sustainable development in SSA. The study adopts a battery of econometric techniques such as the traditional ordinary least square (OLS) estimation technique, Driscoll-Kraay covariance m…
Entrepreneurial Risk Attitude in Micro and Small Enterprises
We analyze the risk attitude of women and men entrepreneurs in the micro and small enterprises (MSEs) and investigate the factors that influence the risk attitude of MSE owners. The empirical analysis of the study consists of two parts. First, we use a moment-based approach to estimate the risk preferences of male and female entrepreneurs. Second, we estimate a regression model to understand the correlates of risk attitude and decompose the gende…
Remittances and Economic Growth
The purpose of this study is to analyze the possible effect of international remittances on the economic growth in three selected economies of Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) member countries, namely, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda. Remittance inflows have emerged as a key link between human mobility and development. However, empirical findings on the nexus between remittances and economic growth are either conflicting or at most m…
