Understanding food security determinants and coping strategies among smallholder farming households in Northern Ethiopia
Empirical information on food insecurity at the disaggregated geographic level is vital for effective interventions. Using a household survey, we explored the prevalence of food insecurity among smallholder farming households and analyzed the factors associated with it in northern Ethiopia. We collected data from 353 smallholder farmers and utilized the dietary intake method to assess and quantify food security. Nearly half (49.3%) of households …
In-depth and feedback analysis of the relationship between human activities, the environment and economic growth in Africa
Purpose The literature argues that human activities are responsible for environmental pollution and world climate change. Africa is the second-largest continent by population and its socio-economic conditions are adversely affected by climate change due to environmental pollution. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between human activities, the environment and the economic growth of 38 African countries from 2000 to 2018. Design/…
Going beyond the traditional EKC hypothesis: A panel quantile approach
The traditional environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis focuses on the relationship between economic growth and a few types of pollutants. Moreover, most previous studies examined EKC based on ‘Black-box structure’ rather than decomposed form. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of decomposed growth on environmental quality for 108 countries from 2000–2018 using the panel mean and quantile regressions. The panel data result confirm…
The impact of food insecurity on health outcomes: Empirical evidence from sub-Saharan African countries
Food insecurity harms the health status of SSA countries, but food security impacts in the reverse direction. This implies that to meet SDG 3.2, SSA should ensure food security
Labor Rights Abuses as the Cold Currents of Economic Globalization in Multinational Apparel Exporting Firms in Ethiopia
In the context of economic globalization, global apparel brands play a dominant role in price and lead time negotiations, exerting significant cost and time pressures on their supplier factories in late-industrializing countries like Ethiopia. This dynamic often strains relationships between suppliers and their workers, because the drive to meet deadlines and reduce costs compromises labor rights within the industry. Despite this, there is a lack…
Covid-19 Stress and Teachers Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Sense of Coherence and Resilience
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many professions with short-, medium-, and long-term consequences. Hence, this study examined the mediating role of sense of coherence (SOC) and resilience in the relation to COVID-19 stress and teachers’ well-being (TWB). It recruited 836 teachers from Ethiopia’s higher-education institutions, of which 630 (75.4%) were men and 206 (24.6%) were women, with a mean age of 32.81 years and a standard…
Testing the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis: An empirical study for East African countries
The green economy aims to achieve economic growth and development without an adverse effect on the environment. The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis explains the relationship between economic activity and environmental degradation. Using the EKC hypothesis as a theoretical framework, this study tested the EKC hypothesis for 12 East African countries using the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) approach for the period from 1990 to 2013. The resul…
Macroeconomic determinants of external indebtedness of Ethiopia: ARDL approach to co-integration
Although Ethiopia is one of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC), there is a lack of empirical studies about the determinants of its external indebtedness. This paper aims to fill this gap by examining the macroeconomic determinants of the external indebtedness of Ethiopia between 1981 and 2016, using the two- and three-gap models as a theoretical framework and an autoregressive distributed lag bound testing approach. The result shows that …
