Institutional Governance and Global FDI Convergence
The global investment landscape presents challenges as subdued growth prospects, geopolitical tensions, and economic disintegration reshape international investment. Increasing tensions are making globalization more exorbitant and uncertain. Increasing trade barriers, intensified scrutiny of investments, and reputational risks are shaping foreign direct investment (FDI) strategies, prompting a shift in focus from efficiency to navigating geopolit…
Digital economy and environmental quality of African countries
This study examined the spatial impact of the digital economy on the environmental quality of 36 African countries between 1995 and 2020. Methodologically, the study used the fixed effect instrumental variable regression model, spatial Durbin model and two alternative proximity matrices—contiguity and inverse distance. The empirical outcomes have produced three important findings: (1) there is evidence of spatial spillover on the impact of digita…
Infrastructure and the Path to Sustainability
Infrastructure development, as an SDGs objective, foster inclusive growth by improving access to transport, energy, and digital systems, enhancing productivity, connectivity, resilience, and sustainability while reducing inequalities and supporting environmental goals. This study examines the impact of infrastructure development on sustainable development, focusing on the mediating role of governance across 42 African nations. The insightful find…
How did African stock markets react to the Russia-Ukraine crisis “black-swan” event? Empirical insights from event study
This study builds on the recent literature by investigating how various types of African stock markets responded to the Russia-Ukraine crisis (commonly referred to as the black-swan event). The empirical analysis used in this paper centred on event study analysis, a statistical technique used to measure the impact of a specific event. The findings show that the black-swan event had a significant negative impact on African stock markets (14/20), w…
The effect of digital transformation on the productivity of business enterprises in South Africa
As digital technologies continue to shape the economy, countries are faced with increasing scrutiny in the use of digital transformation to aid productivity and improve performance. In South Africa, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated Small and medium-sized businesses’ (SMEs’) uptake of digital technologies, as many businesses had to shift their operations online and adopt new digital tools and technologies to solve the challenges posed by the pand…
Diaspora income, financial development and ecological footprint in Africa
This study examines the impact of diaspora income on the ecological footprint of 22 African countries. Methodologically, we used the robust type fixed-effect model, fixed effect instrumental variable regression, method of moments quantile regression (MMQR), and the heterogenous granger causality test. There are four main important findings from this empirical study: (1) diaspora income has a negative and statistically significant impact on ecolog…
