Title A name given to the resource Working capital management and profitability: Evidence from Ghanaian listed manufacturing firms Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard Kofi Akoto, Dadson Awunyo-Vitor, Peter Lawer Angmor Description An account of the resource Working capital management plays a vital role in the success of businesses because of its effect on profitability and liquidity. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between working capital management practices and profitability of listed manufacturing firms in Ghana. The study used secondary data collected from all the 13 listed manufacturing firms in Ghana covering the period from 2005-2009. Using panel data methodology, the study finds a significantly negative relationship between profitability and accounts receivable days. However, the firms’ cash conversion cycle, current asset ratio, size, and current asset turnover significantly positively influence profitability. The study suggests that managers can create value for their shareholders by creating incentives to reduce their accounts receivable to 30 days. It is further recommended that, enactments of local laws that protect indigenous firms and restrict the activities of importers are eminent to promote increase demand for locally manufactured goods both in the short and long runs in Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource Do Trade Openness and Domestic Credit to the Private Sector Stimulate Economic Growth in Ghana A Bound Test Approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sackey Frank, Asravor Richard, Ankrah Isaac Description An account of the resource The study examined the impact of trade openness and domestic credit to the private sector (DCP) on the growth of the Ghanaian economy. The study therefore examined the extent to which trade openness and domestic credit to the private sector impact GDP growth with other covariates such as inflation, exchange rate and foreign direct investments both in the short and the long run. Data was gleaned from the World Bank database spanning from 1970 to 2021. The study adopted the bound test approach using the autoregressive distributed lag estimation. Our results showed that trade openness has a positive relationship with economic growth both in the short and the long run while no such significant relationship was observed for domestic credit to the private sector. Again, we observed a positive relationship between inflation and GDP growth at least, in the short run.

Title A name given to the resource Do Petroleum Price Asymmetries and Price Deregulation Cause Business Cycles in Ghana? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Kofi Asravor, Emmanuel Orkoh, Isaac Ankrah Description An account of the resource In the context of volatilities in the international situations in recent times, studies regarding the complexities of oil price fluctuations have focussed on analysing the special fluctuation characteristics of oil prices in different historical perspectives. This study examines the extent to which petroleum price fluctuations under the petroleum price deregulation regime impact on business cycles in Ghana. The study uses the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model with a quarterly data spanning from the first quarter of 2005 to the fourth quarter of 2022. Our empirical results show that price stability impacts positively on economic growth, both in the short and the long run, while foreign direct investment also has a positive effect on economic growth in the short run. Our findings are consistent with theory and empirical studies and contributes immensely to the discussions about price asymmetry and business cycles. Again, offers a nuanced perspective on how policy makers can enact policies that ensures efficient and effective deregulation and price stability.

Title A name given to the resource A spotlight on fossil fuel lobby and energy transition possibilities in emerging oil-producing economies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Michael Appiah-Kubi, Eric Ofosu Antwi, Ivy Drafor Amenyah, Mohammed Musah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Isaiah Sikayena Description An account of the resource This study investigates the impact of fossil fuel industry on renewable energy deployment in emerging oil-producing economies, using Ghana as the subject of analysis. Drawing on the "theory of lobby," the study extends previous analyses to examine how fossil fuel production influences the possibility of transitioning to renewable energy. The results, based on a stepwise estimation technique, within a two-regime Markov-switching Model, show a consistent negative relationship between fossil fuel production and renewable energy deployment, supporting the lobby effect theory in Ghana's energy economy. Notably, while fossil fuel production initially increases the probability of transitioning to renewable energy (from 39.65 % to 58.42 %), this trend is reversed by foreign direct investment, reducing the likelihood to approximately 42 %. These findings underscore the need to expand the lobby-effect theory to include … 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 2025 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=qSyX_i8AAAAJ&citation_for_view=qSyX_i8AAAAJ:LkGwnXOMwfcC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/494693ae19edb8aa54eb906930966933.pdf d22b830721a8cadeadd4534e37e86c93 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mohammed Musah, Isaac Adjei Mensah, Stephen Taiwo Onifade, Isaac Ankrah, Bright Akwasi Gyamfi Description An account of the resource The global anthropogenic activities among nations are largely behind the growing environmental concerns of our modern time. The rise of China on the frontiers of all economic activities with rapidly booming industries including the tourism industry has raised valid concern about the country’s future sustainability. Past studies have largely focused on CO2 perhaps because of the long-lasting environmental damages from the atmospheric accumulation of this greenhouse gas (GHG) relative to other gases like methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide emissions N2O. However, there is a need to examine other greenhouse gases given that their immediate warming impacts could be much more pronounced over a relatively shorter period. As such, China’s sustainability future was assessed via direct & indirect environmental aspects of the booming tourism industry while exploring the moderating roles of eco-technological … 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 2025 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=qSyX_i8AAAAJ&citation_for_view=qSyX_i8AAAAJ:roLk4NBRz8UC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/4aa17ed3858bcd06036446cea703729c.pdf cff23b94b6a3d434ebafae54e8678b01 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 Firm characteristics and asymmetric information based credit rationing in an emerging economy: a gender perspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Asravor. Richard Kofi, Emmanuel Orkoh, Isaac Ankrah Description An account of the resource Micro, Small and Medium firms’ credit access remains a dilemma though the financial sector has been liberalized. This paper investigates the factors influencing credit rationing and how variations in the characteristics of firms owned by different genders contribute to credit rationing. The study utilizes probit estimation with marginal effects, Fairlie counterfactual and decomposition analysis to analyze both credit rationing and the extent to which the credit rationing gap is influenced by differences in gender endowments and discrimination using 1,430 firms’ owners’ loan applications randomly selected from eight (8) commercial banks. Our results show that borrowers having more years of experience, external market access, proximity to lender, being older and being male are not likely to experience credit rationing.

Title A name given to the resource STRATEGIC COLLABORATIONSATATECHNOLOGY RESEARCH AND INNOVATION CENTRE IN GHANA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Prince Obeng Lokko, Mark Ofori Nketia, Kofi Bobi Barimah Description An account of the resource Nearly five years ago, the Ghana Technology University College (GTUC) responded to a call for proposals by the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET) and the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) under Component 2 of the Ghana Skills and Technology Development Project (GSTDP). Funding received was used in the establishment of the Technology Research and Innovation Centre (TRIC) for technology and market-oriented research with an overarching goal of transferring technology to the public and industry. Ghana Technology University College is committed to bridging the gap between academia and industry, and the establishment of TRIC transformed this vision into reality. Nine projects were selected from presentations made at workshops by researchers from our academic faculties (ie, Faculty of Computing and Information Systems, Faculty of IT Business and Faculty of Engineering) in collaboration with their private industry partners. Thus, the implementation of the projects entailed cross-institutional collaborations between GTUC, COTVET and MESTI with the involvement of the private sector. This paper discusses the processes and outcomes of the implementation of the TRIC projects with recommendations for the sustainability of TRIC.
