Women Empowerment and Environmental Sustainability in Africa
The moderating effect of corporate governance reforms on the relationship between audit committee chair attributes and ESG disclosures
This study examines the impact of audit committee chair attributes on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures, focusing on the moderating role of corporate governance reforms in an emerging market, specifically Saudi Arabia. Using a sample of 243 firm-year observations from 2014 to 2023, the study employs a fixed effects regression model to analyze the relationship between the quality of ESG disclosures and the independence, exper…
Do Uncertainties Affect the SDI and SDG Index Differently? Correcting Conceptual Misuse Through Evidence From G7 Economies
Accurately assessing sustainability performance has become increasingly important as global uncertainties intensify and advanced economies confront mounting ecological, institutional, and economic pressures. Yet empirical research frequently treats the sustainable development index (SDI) and the sustainable development goals index (SDGI) as interchangeable measures, despite their fundamentally different conceptual foundations. SDI reflects an eco…
How Do Policy, Energy, and Geopolitical Risks Shape Sustainable Development Uncertainty in OECD Economies
Heightened volatility in economic policy, energy markets, and geopolitical relations has intensified concerns about the predictability of sustainable development trajectories in advanced economies. Such uncertainty complicates environmental planning, distorts long‐term investment decisions, and challenges governments' ability to sustain progress toward sustainability objectives. However, the extent to which different sources of uncertainty shape …
Does Gender Participation Drive Sustainable Development? Evidence From G7 and E7 Economies
Policy debates on sustainable development often presume that expanding women's participation in the labor market strengthens social, economic, and environmental outcomes. Yet whether female labor‐force participation (FLFP) is systematically aligned with sustainable development—and under what structural conditions—remains empirically unclear. This study provides a comparative assessment of the gender–sustainability relationship across two major gl…
A scientometric analysis on blockchain and NFTs
This study provides a comprehensive contribution to the current understanding of blockchain technology and non-fungible token (NFTs). Blockchain technology is a revolutionary data storage and management tool that records data shared across a network of computers globally, making it safe, transparent, and decentralized. Non-fungible token is a specific type of token built on a blockchain, enabling the authentication of digital assets and safeguard…
Knowledge management and sustainable innovation for green finance
This study investigates the relationship among digital sustainability, knowledge management capacity, and green finance in Asian countries during the period spanning 2007 to 2023. Previous research has explored the role of digital transformation in promoting sustainability; these studies are predominantly firm-level and lack insight into how macro-level knowledge infrastructure enables or constrains digital technologies in advancing green finance…
The nexus of financial socialization, financial literacy, financial capability and financial well-being
There is a dearth of studies on local women’s financial well-being in the mainstream financial literature. Therefore, understanding women’s financial socialization and its relationship with their financial well-being is more vital than ever. Women’s financial well-being can foster independence, develop access to basic resources, and help overcome gender inequalities. The current study aims to understand how financial socialization, financial auto…
Energy poverty, air quality, and health expenditures in Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces a triple development burden – energy poverty, environmental degradation, and rising health expenditures – that threatens progress across the core dimensions of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study investigates how energy poverty and air pollution are associated with health, economic, and social outcomes in 45 SSA countries from 2000 to 2023. Specifically, it models out-of-pocket health expenditure (S…
Extractive Wealth, Governance, and Sustainable Development in Africa
Why do resource‐rich African countries struggle to achieve inclusive and sustainable development despite decades of extractive wealth? This study revisits the resource curse hypothesis through the lens of institutional mediation and SDG‐aligned outcomes, focusing on 10 of Africa's most resource‐dependent economies between 1996 and 2022. Employing a mixed‐method econometric strategy—Common Correlated Effects Mean Group for baseline analysis, Cross…
Fossil Fuels, Clean Cooking Energy, and Health Inequality in Sub‐Saharan Africa
This study investigates the asymmetric health impacts of fossil fuel dependence in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) using the method of moments quantile regression (MMQR), Driscoll–Kraay robustness checks, and interaction models with clean cooking energy (CCE). Unlike conventional analyses focused on mortality, we examine chronic outcomes—respiratory illness, disability, and out‐of‐pocket health expenditure—across 48 SSA countries from 1990 to 2022. Resu…
