The study is motivated by the persistent state of underdevelopment of the manufacturing sector in the region and the palpable dearth of empirical evidence on the sector’s response to monetary policy actions as suggested by theory. The study employed panel data from 1995 to 2020 and the framework of the panel ARDL model which is estimated using three dynamic panel estimators - Mean Group (MG), Pooled Mean Group (PMG), and Dynamic Fixed Effect (DFE). Findings from the study showed that the monetary variables are time sensitive and heterogeneous in their effects depending on the long or short-run. We document that while interest rate and the exchange rate had statistically significant negative impacts on manufacturing value added in the long-run only credit to the private sector had no real impact on manufacturing value added in the short and long-run. The implication is that policymakers have to conduct monetary policy in such a manner that mitigates the persistent rise in interest and the depreciation of the domestic currency exchange rates to boost manufacturing value added in the region.","PeriodicalId":150957,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Economics and Social Sciences","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131810335","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}

This study focused on the law on e-commerce practice and business sustainability in Nigeria. The study applied a conceptual review focusing on the trends of development of e-commerce practice and the supportive effects of the legal system in facilitating business sustainability in Nigeria. The study relied on extant literature sourced from various outlets, relevant to the topic of this study. The key findings highlighted and discussed factors for improved e-commerce practices in Nigeria. These included access to legal services, effective government policy and institutional support, time and fair interpretation of the law governing e-commerce, continuous evaluation of the e-commerce processes in Nigeria, increased awareness and familiarity with e-commerce facilities, and the adoption of suitable technology. The study provides valuable insight into the support of the Nigerian commercial sector on e-commerce practices. The adoption of systems theory enhances the promotion of fairness across the entire ambience of e-commerce practice and the support of the law. This implied focusing on the continuous evaluation of legal support and a flexible process of developing the needed approaches to address emerging changes in e-commerce that can enhance business sustainability in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":150957,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Economics and Social Sciences","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126799158","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 was motivated by the quest to reexamine the validity of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) theory in 15 selected African economies by practically decomposing the total environmental effects of foreign finance into three strands, namely scale, technique, and composition effects. The panel dataset contained the 15 largest economies selected from the five regions of the African continent from 1990 to 2020 and ensured the used of 31 observations for each country. To simultaneously guarantee heterogeneity among the long-run and short-run coefficients, the study employed pooled mean group (PMG) estimator of the dynamic heterogeneous panel auto-regressive distributed lag (panel ARDL) model as its analytical technique. The study revealed that economic performance was negatively and positively related to environmental degradation in the short-run and long-run, respectively. This confirms the existence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic performance and environmental degradation and also validates the existence of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis. Moreover, foreign finance was inversely related to environmental degradation, which implies that poor environmental quality cannot be directly linked to foreign capital inflows among the investigated countries.","PeriodicalId":150957,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Economics and Social Sciences","volume":"398 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127035084","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}

This study is motivated by the rising development challenges confronting the world today, in which poverty reduction and the lack of empirical studies regarding globalization and poverty reduction in BRICS countries are significant. The study utilized the techniques of Impulse Response Functions (IRFs) and Variance Decomposition to address the objective of this study. The results from this study showed that a long-run convergence existed among globalization components and poverty reduction in BRICS countries. Also, FDI, trade openness and the number of people using internet, and HDI responded immediately to each other ’s policy shocks, but not in the most desired or best direction. Therefore, the policymakers and other relevant stakeholders in BRICS countries need to embark on swift policy responses that will shape and redirect the economic components of globalization- inflows of FDI, trade openness and the number of people using internet in such a way to bring poverty reduction in this economic bloc.","PeriodicalId":150957,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Economics and Social Sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134127059","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}
