Title A name given to the resource Investigating the impact of institutional quality under the petroleum price deregulation policy regime on the economic growth of Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Emmanuel Orkoh, Mohammed Musah Description An account of the resource The importance of institutional quality as a means of influencing economic growth is being given much attention. This paper examines the extent to which institutional quality under the price deregulation policy in Ghana impacts GDP growth. The study employs the Bayesian linear regression and the auto regressive distributed lag (ARDL) models in estimating a quarterly data that spans from the first quarter of 2005 to the fourth quarter of 2022. We observe that an increase in petroleum prices increases GDP growth by 0.3 units in the long run while an increase in inflation reduces GDP growth by 0.6 units in the short run. Again, we observe that in the short run an increase in foreign direct investment increases GDP growth by 3.24 units. The interactions of petroleum prices and institutional quality on the other hand reduces GDP growth in the short run by 0.91 but tend to increase GDP growth by 1.45 which is … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer International Publishing 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=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:maZDTaKrznsC Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Investigating the Interrelationships among Financial Development, Strategy Efficiency and Economic Growth: Evidence from Ghana and Nigeria. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Augustine Opoku-Antwi Description An account of the resource This thesis sought to identify strategies employed by the banking sectors in Ghana and Nigeria, establishes finance-growth relationship if any and finance-strategy-growth interrelationships. Ghana and Nigeria were selected because the two countries have the largest Economies in West Africa and undergone extensive financial sector reforms since mid-1980s. The research philosophy and approach employed in this study were positivism and quantitative methods. The annualised data used were from World Bank, Bank of Ghana, and Central Bank of Nigeria, and from all deposit money banks (DMBs) in the two countries from 1985 to 2015 for effective assessment. Porters Fives Forces of Competition Model, SWOT Analysis and Miles and Snow Strategy Typology (MSST) were used to identify different strategies. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model estimated strategy efficiency and econometric techniques such as Johansen Cointegration, Vector Error Correction model, Vector Autoregression Model and Granger Causality Test were employed to establish finance, growth and strategy interrelationships. The banking strategy of each DMB is largely determined by the strategic focus of the individual bank and in part by the monetary authorities. Retail banking is a major segment but vulnerable. Six major strategic themes were identified. The results obtained suggest that strategies employed by Ghanaian banking system are technically more efficient compared to their counterparts from Nigeria. Aggression does not lead to efficiency. In the short run, there was no causal relationship between the market-based financial system and economic growth in both countries. Ghana’s bank-based financial system has no causal link with economic growth. Financial development in Ghana causes economic growth in the short-run and long run while in Nigeria there exist bidirectional causal relationships with economic growth. In the Finance-Strategy-Growth interrelationships, it was established that these variables have some common linkages in both Ghana and Nigeria. DMBs and regulators must address the regulatory compliance, capital management, technology infrastructure and cybersecurity. Ring-fenced retail banking segment for protection from all risks. Push the DMBs from pursing short-term gains compared with long-term gains that contribute to sustainable economic growth. This study contributed to finance-growth literature, opened a discussion on finance-strategy-growth interrelationships, developed strategy and strategy efficiency models.

Title A name given to the resource Investigating the rheological, microstructural and textural properties of chocolates sweetened with palm sap-based sugar by partial replacement Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Arifin Dwi Saputro, Davy Van de Walle, Sheida Kadivar, Mohd Dona Bin Sintang, Paul Van der Meeren, Koen Dewettinck Description An account of the resource Palm sugar, a natural alternative sweetener which can be made from the nectar of several species of palm tree flowers, recently gains more interest. Due to its physicochemical characteristics, utilisation of palm sugar as chocolate sweetener results in different quality attributes of chocolate. In this work, a thorough investigation about the influence of palm sugar on the rheological, microstructural and textural characteristics of chocolate was carried out through partial replacement of sucrose as chocolate sweetener. Accordingly, five sucrose–palm sugar blends with different palm sugar (PS) proportion, namely PS0, PS25, PS50, PS75, and PS100 were used as chocolate sweetener. The results showed that the Casson yield value of chocolate containing palm sugar was lower than the Casson yield value of chocolate sweetened with pure sucrose which could be attributed to the presence of agglomerates in the … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Berlin Heidelberg Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:wyCGhLAOp5UC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/3538b438550645782d4f7cfff001b368.pdf e1e1857f8c442738b42207aa2877afbc Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Is energy transition possible for oil-producing nations? Probing the case of a developing economy Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Kingsley Dogah, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Derrick Ofori Donkor, Christopher Lamptey, Lilian Arthur Description An account of the resource An expected decline in oil revenue and a complicated global energy market present significant concerns about oil-producing countries’ intentions to move away from fossil fuels. Understanding the dynamics of these concerns, particularly in light of potential energy transitions, is crucial for future energy supply and sustainable energy discussion. Given the scarcity of research on the issue, this study examined whether an implied shift from fossil fuels to a cleaner energy state is possible for Ghana, a small oil-producing economy in sub-Saharan Africa. A two-state Markov Switching Model (MSM) was applied to a dataset covering 1980–2019. Results based on a multivariate state-dependent regression technique were documented as follows: First, the probability of transitioning from a nonrenewable energy state to a renewable energy state is 76.5%. Second, there is 80.2% chance of remaining in a renewable energy … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=8wFumg4AAAAJ&citation_for_view=8wFumg4AAAAJ:d1gkVwhDpl0C Language A language of the resource English
