A comparative result is based on two types of data bases. Firstly, the Acemoglu et al.’s (2001) database and the Albouy's (2006) database. Two samples including 29 for the settler mortality rate and 33 for the settler rate have been chosen. Applying ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, we find that institutions exert a negative and significant influence on financial market growth in African countries where settler mortality rates were high while in countries where settlers settled, the interaction effect of settler sedentarization rate and institutions is positive and significant. These results remain robust to several tests conducted. As a key recommendation, we suggest that African governments put in place new institutional governance policies that take into account the current economic context to further improve the growth of their financial markets.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Government and Economics","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100099"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266731932400003X/pdfft?md5=7fb351350fc5595b7420ce3cef2851bf&pid=1-s2.0-S266731932400003X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139395578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is unknown whether it affects men and women equally. In this scenario, the aim of this paper is twofold. First, to investigate the differential effect of monetary policy on female- and male-run firms. We find that a contractionary monetary policy widens credit market discrimination, i.e., female-owned and -managed firms receive less funds during a tight monetary policy period. This effect reverses during the expansionary period, i.e., female-run firms are more likely to receive funds than male-run firms. This result implies that during a tight policy period, financial institutions resort to credit rationing and women are the victims of this practice, whereas during an expansionary period, banks are flushed with money and they channelize these excess funds to female-owned firms. Our results also indicate that the adverse effects of the policy fall heavily on small and medium enterprises. Second, to study the impact of gender equality on monetary policy-led credit market discrimination. We find that credit market discrimination during the contractionary period is relatively lower (higher) in a country where gender equality (gap) is higher. This is another evidence that women receive less external funds not based on their lack of repayment ability but rather on society's predetermined notions about their incapability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Government and Economics","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100095"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667319323000381/pdfft?md5=7a29650deeef074c1bf21c886e1c115c&pid=1-s2.0-S2667319323000381-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138501067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Estimation of employment effects may be hindered by the non-random manner in which minimum wage laws are created. To overcome this, we explore the employment implications of the minimum wage in the US restaurant industry through an approach that exploits variation in compliance, as opposed to legislation. In the five US states without state minimum wages, violations of the US federal minimum wage are shown to be associated with decreased employment in the restaurant industry in the time period around the federal minimum wage increases of 2007 through 2009. The most robust specification shows an elasticity of employment with respect to unpaid wages of -0.233. Robustness checks use earlier time periods to show results do not reflect seasonal trends, vary the group of industries used as controls, and only use 2007 to show estimates are not confounded by a unique effect of the Great Recession on the restaurant industry.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Government and Economics","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100096"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667319323000393/pdfft?md5=edd9a7f05bcc68345bd16331a868ab5d&pid=1-s2.0-S2667319323000393-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139100743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the many consequences, physical capital destruction has been the most dramatic- the economic toll of war has been estimated to be about US$1.2 trillion, according to official data. This paper takes stock of the conflict's impact on domestic capital in Syria. It also contributes to the empirical literature on the effect of government capital spending on private capital during 1970–2011, using Vector Error Model (VECM) model. The key findings are: (1) the economy facing extreme limitations in raising the investment rate- as the total investment share of GDP (in real term) has dropped from 20% in 2010 to less than 7% in 2020; (2) the public investment appears to have a significant role- as it influences the economic growth in Syria directly and indirectly through private investment (in which crowding- in effect found to be significant). Further, we argue that political and institutional factors will determine the shape and scope of attracting foreign capital and enhancing local business during the reconstruction phase.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Government and Economics","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100082"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50193243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
