The\u0000attractions of security, stability, investment potential and a sense of pride outweigh the fear of\u0000price instability. For this reason, the Colombian government has encouraged in recent years,\u0000various demand policies that have sought to promote the increase in the number of homeowners.\u0000However, these ideas could have a severe impact on prices in the real estate market. Therefore,\u0000this study seeks to examine the effect of homeownership rate on new house prices in an emerging\u0000country with low real estate ownership, credit restrictions and average per capita income. The\u0000study uses panel data model to examine the influence of housing tenancy and other variables on\u0000the variation of housing prices in Colombia. Data were obtained from various sources including\u0000the Central Bank of Colombia, Financial Superintendence of Colombia, and National\u0000Administrative Department of Statistics of Colombia. The results show that homeownership rates\u0000have a positive effect on the price of new homes, which supports the hypothesis of the research.\u0000The population growth of the cities is the factor that is most relevant when explaining the price\u0000variations.","PeriodicalId":145327,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Advancement of Developing Economies","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121338534","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}

The study assessed the effects of\u0000corruption, government effectiveness and their joint effect on human development in SSA. Data\u0000collected on thirty-seven (37) countries within the period of 2005 to 2018 were analyzed using\u0000system Generalized Method of Moment which was most suitable for the dataset. Results indicated\u0000that lagged human development index (P<0.01), government effectiveness (P<0.05), economic\u0000growth rate (P<0.1) and government health spending (P<0.1) had significant positive effect on\u0000human development while corruption and its interaction with government effectiveness did not.\u0000The results of Arrelano-Bond test of first order autocorrelation and second order autocorrelation\u0000of error term as well as the Sargan test and Hansen J test for validity of instrumental variables\u0000confirmed the validity of the model. The robustness of the estimation was established as the\u0000coefficient of the lagged dependent variable fell between the values in the fixed effect and pooled\u0000ordinary least square regression. The study recommended retraining and reorientation of\u0000government employees towards the mindset of effective service delivery and strong political will\u0000to achieve it, diversification of SSA economies alongside other growth stimulating policies such\u0000as reduced lending interest rate on loans meant for the real sector, improvement in the ease of\u0000doing business, improved funding of the health sector and proper monitoring of activities in the\u0000public service by concerned agencies to curb corruption where it is present.","PeriodicalId":145327,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Advancement of Developing Economies","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126777145","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}

I examine whether the mother’s rank in the household whether she is a senior (first) or junior wife influences her child’s school enrollment, school expenditures, work activities, and educational attainment in early adulthood. I find that being the child of a senior wife positively affects enrollment and school expenditures at the middle school ages, relative to being the child of a junior wife. The children of junior wives participate more in home production, suggesting they are performing tasks that allow the children of senior wives to attend school. Senior children accumulate an additional year of education by their early twenties, leaving junior children at a long term educational disadvantage. The results of fixed effects regressions which take account of unobserved heterogeneity of the fathers are consistent with the evidence of the OLS estimates although imprecisely estimated. This evidence that rank affects investments in children is consistent with the credit-constrained collective model presented in the paper.

The contributing factors to the problems in these countries are multifaceted, such as, ethnic, cultural, environmental, governance, and infrastructural. To address these problems, current efforts have focused mostly on the issues of disease control and management. However, insufficient attention has been given to the concomitant problems of medication (drug / prescription) management especially as they relate to information management between patients, physicians, and pharmacists. In most of these countries, the absence of integrated and reliable system for management and maintenance of a patient’s medical history exposes a patient to prescription and dispensation errors and/or mistakes by physicians and pharmacists, respectively. In this paper, taking cognizance of the infrastructural and other applicable impediments and deficiencies, the design and implementation of a mobilebased system (henceforth referred to as “iRx”) is presented. This system enables patients, physicians, and pharmacists to reliably interact in managing and maintaining an individual’s drug history. This management is subject to the patient’s authorization for anyone to access the applicable information.","PeriodicalId":145327,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Advancement of Developing Economies","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114678645","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}

A multi-stage random sampling method was used to select four hundred and thirty-seven rural households from whom data were collected for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and cost of illness approach. The results revealed that an average household had six members with an average quarterly income of N80,717.52 (N160.00 = 1US dollar, at time of study). The sum of N28,571.36 was incurred as economic cost of water-borne diseases per household per quarter in the study area. Gender (p<0.05), access to safe water (P<0.1), cholera epidemic (p<0.01), diarrhoea infection (p<0.1), access to improved toilet (p<0.1) and State dummy (p<0.01) were the significant factors affecting economic burden of water-borne diseases in the study area. The study therefore recommends that rural households should consume quality water or water from improved sources (borehole and well water) so as to combat water-borne diseases. They should also seek medical attention when they fall ill. In the same vein, the three tiers of government (federal, state and local) should give more priority to sensitizing rural households on water-borne diseases control programs in order to prevent economic losses resulting from loss of income and shortage of food supply.","PeriodicalId":145327,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Advancement of Developing Economies","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132677744","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}
