Title A name given to the resource Does industrialization promote the emission mitigation agenda of East Africa? a pathway toward environmental sustainability Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yan Yu, Jingyi Zhao, Mohammed Musah, Michael Owusu-Akomeah, Joseph Akwasi Nkyi, Jing Li, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong, Emmanuel Attah Kumah, Siqi Cao, Yuxiang Xu, Yingfang Shi, Liqi Wang, Can Hui, Kaodui Li Description An account of the resource Africa’s economy continues to be characterized by increasing environmental pollution caused by anthropogenic activities. Despite the implications of environmental pollution in the continent, little attention has been paid to it, although almost all its countries are signatories to the Paris Agreement. One macroeconomic variable that has proven to be a major driver of environmental pollution in the region is industrialization. However, despite the numerous explorations on the connection between industrialization and environmental degradation, limited studies have examined the linkage amidst the series in East Africa. This study was, therefore, conducted to help fill that gap. In accomplishing this goal, econometric techniques that control cross-sectional correlations, heterogeneity, and endogeneity, among others, were employed for the analysis. From the results, the panel under consideration was heterogeneous and cross sectionally correlated. In addition, the studied series were first differenced stationary and co-integrated in the long run. The elasticities of the regressors were explored via the cross sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) estimator, the cross sectionally augmented distributed lag (CS-DL) estimator, and the augmented mean group (AMG) estimator. According to the results, industrialization led to a reduction in the environmental quality in the region through high CO2 emissions. In addition, financial development, foreign direct investments, urbanization, and energy consumption were not environmentally friendly in the bloc. On the causal linkages amid the series, bidirectional causalities between … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Frontiers Media SA Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=-U-tBVYAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=-U-tBVYAAAAJ:Wp0gIr-vW9MC Language A language of the resource English http://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/880c471a6f1c8ef111694077820ac26f.pdf adbe86ad26a7e5fa3f34417d64178ed7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Students from Central University College Accra were selected randomly to respond to a questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used in analyzing the data. The study revealed that service quality significantly influences both customer satisfaction and brand loyalty; and also customer satisfaction significantly influences brand loyalty. Telecommunication firms and other firms which want to survive competition have to know what their customers want and satisfy them. Managers must also be aware that service quality must be measured in terms of customer satisfaction in order to enhance brand loyalty.

Title A name given to the resource Promoting carbon neutrality in China: do financial development, foreign direct investment, and industrialization play a material role? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jun Yan, Kaodui Li, Mohammed Musah, Lijuan Zhang, Yutong Zhou, Dan Gao, Joseph Akwasi Nkyi, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Emmanuel Attah Kumah, Siqi Cao, Linnan Yao Description An account of the resource One of the crucial issues confronting China is high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Despite the numerous measures outlined to promote the country’s carbon neutrality target, CO2 emissions in the nation continue to increase. This means that more policy options are needed to help improve environmental sustainability (ES) in the nation. Hence, examining the relationship between financial development (FD), foreign direct investment, industrialization, and environmental sustainability in China to provide proper recommendations to drive the carbon neutrality agenda of the nation is deemed fitting. In attaining this goal, time-series data from the period 1990 to 2018 is employed. According to the results, foreign direct investment deteriorates environmental sustainability by promoting more CO2 emissions. This validates the pollution haven hypothesis (PHH). In addition, industrialization and financial development are not friendly to the nation’s environmental quality. Furthermore, economic growth and urbanization escalate environmental pollution in the nation. In addition, the interactions between financial development and foreign direct investment and between financial development and industrialization deteriorate the environment in China. Moreover, foreign direct investment and financial development have an inverted U-shaped association with environmental degradation, but industrialization and environmental pollution are not nonlinearly related.

Title A name given to the resource The Effect of Capital Structure on the Profitability of Non-Bank Financial Institutions: An Empirical Evidence from the Ghana stock exchange Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Takyi Kwaben Nsiah, Cheng Li Mei, Mohammed Musah, Frank Antwi Description An account of the resource This research aimed to investigate the effects of capital structure on profitability of listed non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). The research used panel data obtained from the fifteen (15) companies, for the period 2010-2017. In the study, short-term debt (STDTA, long-term debt (LTDTA), firm size (SZ) and liquidity (LQDTY) as a measure for capital structure while Return on Asset (ROA) measure profitability. Result: The study findings show that there is a negative and statistically significant relationship between short-term debt and profitability. However, long-term debt indicates a positive and significant association with the profitability of the firms. The findings of this empirical research are of higher significance for developing nations such as Ghana because it calls for the concentration of firm’s leadership and policymakers to pursue measures that decrease or increase debt dependence in order to achieve optimal capital structure.

Title A name given to the resource The Relationship between Size and Firms’ Financial Performance: An Empirical Evidence from the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MOHAMMED Musah, YUSHENG Kong Description An account of the resource The goal of this study was to examine the association between size and the financial performance of nonfinancial firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). Specifically, the study sought to; determine the affiliation between size and the firms’ financial performance as measured by Return on Assets (ROA); examine the association between size and the firms’ financial performance as measured by Return on Equity (ROE); and to establish the link between size and the firms’ financial performance as measured by Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). This study was a quantitative study. The study was quantitative because, it aimed to classify features, quantify them in terms of numbers and create a statistical model to test hypothesis and explain observations. The study was specifically correlational in nature because, it sought to explore the bivariate associations between size and the firms’ financial performance.

Title A name given to the resource The Impact of Economic Indicators on Financial Performance of Non-financial Firms on Ghana Stock Exchange Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mary Donkor, Yusheng Kong, Stephen Kwadwo Antwi, Mohammed Musah, Florence Appiah Twum Description An account of the resource Financial performance is one of the basic indicators that investors and creditors check in accessing the performance of firms. The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the impact of economic indicators on financial performance of quoted non-financial firms on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). The study focuses on the impact of RealGDP, Exchange rate, Inflation, Unemployment and Interest rate as determinant of economic indicators whereas Sales growth, Company size, Leverage and Efficiency from firms specific are used as controlled variables in checking the effect of these indicators on financial performance of these firms. ROA and ROE were used as proxies for financial performance of the listed firms. The study employed a panel data of 21 listed non-financial firms from the period of 2008 to 2017. The result revealed that Real GDP and inflation have significant positive impact on ROE. On the contrarily, economic indicators used for this study showed no level of significance with ROA. Company size recorded positive and negative significant impact on ROA and ROE respectively, sales growth and efficiency were statistically significant with ROA. The study recommends government and regulatory authorities to come out with good policies that will help boost the economic activities in the country and drop inflation rate since they have the tendency of affecting non-financial firms’ performance. Moreover, management must ensure full utilization of its internal resources by focusing on diversification and expansion since company size, efficiency and sales growth affect the return on assets and equity of firms.

Data werecollected using questionnaires. The participantsof this study were 753 students in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.Researchers used convenience and snowballing sampling techniques. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Spearman'scorrelation. This study proves that the level of utility and all its factors (economic and non-economic benefit, probability ofsuccess, and cost) differ significantly between GHE and IHE(Sig0.05). Moreover, it was found that all factors correlate with enrolment intention(Sig0.05).However, correlation coefficients indicate that the costof GHE and IHE is the factor with the weakest correlation (p=0,139andp=0.084) with enrolment intention. The strongest correlation with enrolment intention is the utilityof GHE and IHE(p=0,597and p=0.579)and the possibility of success in GHE and IHE(p=0,614 and p=0.530).
