Climate Change In The Sub-Saharan Region: Impact, Transmission Channels And The Mitigation Effect From Financial Market Development On Carbon Emission
(2025-01)
Mohamed, Abdinur Ali
Climate change poses a global challenge, impacting countries differently based on their geographical and economic contexts. African nations are particularly vulnerable due to their location and reliance on climate-sensitive sectors. The sub-saharan region faces significant economic risks from climate variability, affecting productivity, investment, and labor supply. Existing studies often overlook the complexity of these impacts and their transmission channels, lacking robust analyses of nonlinear relationships. This study aims to assess the impact of climate change on economic growth in sub-saharan africa, focusing on the nonlinear effects of temperature and rainfall. It also examines how financial market development can mitigate these impacts. Using data from 1994 to 2018 across 29 countries, the study employs instrumental variables and the lind and mehlum u-test to identify nonlinear relationships, alongside robustness checks to ensure result validity. Results indicate that moderate temperatures support growth, while extreme heat is detrimental. Rainfall positively influences growth, though heavy rainfall shows mixed effects. The study finds that financial development initially increases carbon emissions but reduces them at advanced levels. A nonlinear relationship between temperature and investment is confirmed.

Assessing The Compensation And Reinvestment Plans For Fuel Subsidy Rationalization In Nigeria
(2024-12)
Ibrahim, Shittu
Nigeria completely rationalized fuel subsidies in may 2023. To cushion the effect of this policy, the government rolled out ambitious plans to recycle proceeds from the subsidy removal to compensate vulnerable households and reinvest in critical sectors of the economy. Yet these plans have prompted some unsettling questions regarding their potential impacts, adequacy, and efficiency. This research utilizes the 2018 social accounting matrix data for nigeria and employs a dynamic computable general equilibrium model to assess the compensation and reinvestment plans of the government. The objectives of the study are: (i) to examine the impact of fuel subsidy rationalization without compensation and reinvestment, (ii) to examine the impact of fuel subsidy rationalization with compensation and reinvestment, (iii) to assess the efficiency of resource allocation between compensation and reinvestment expenditure, (iv) to identify an optimal timeline for implementing the compensation and reinvestment plans and (v) to identify a policy pathway for efficient resource allocation and optimal implementation timeline. Results from the research show that subsidy removal without compensation and reinvestment brings detrimental impacts to the economy and significant welfare losses to all households.
The Production Performance Of Malaysia’S Food Processing Industry
(2024-12)
Lee, Yong Chin
The food processing industry (fpi) plays a significant role in malaysia's economy, but it faces ongoing challenges with low productivity and negative production growth, which indicates potential inefficiency concerns, particularly within its five sub-sectors. These issues may be partly attributed to economic shocks like the 2009 financial crisis, which impacted access to financing, supply chain stability, and investment in productivity-enhancing technologies. Hence, the main objectives are to analyze the production performance of malaysia’s fpi. The first objective is to determine the level of efficiency and productivity of the small and medium-sized enterprises (smes) and large-scale enterprises (lses) in malaysia’s fpi. Secondly, it aims to examine the factors affecting productivity and inefficiency. Lastly, it aims to assess the impact of productivity and other macroeconomic factors on the production growth in malaysia’s fpi. To achieve this, the study utilizes total factor productivity (tfp) instead of partial productivity measures like labour or capital productivity, as tfp offers a more comprehensive assessment by encompassing all production inputs and reflecting overall productivity levels.
