Stratified samples were taken from North Central States of Benue and Plateau, and South-South Cross River State and Akwa-Ibom. These four states are among the thirty six states in Nigeria that have been badly hit by climate change. This study used soft and hardware computer applications including German 12 handheld GPS, and Integrated Land and Water Information System (ILWIS), for data collection. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected for the evaluation. The GIS information software package was used to manipulate and perform feature identification, recognition, classification, calculation, and ground-trotting. A structured questionnaire was also used to collect data on some livelihood activities, the influence of livelihoods activities on water resources, food security, and climate change impacts. Data analysis, found that the forest and water bodies are shrunken. Industrial activities such as oil exploration and exploitation, mining, by Multinational Corporations, illegal mining, grazing, unsustainable farming practices, fishing and hunting for bush meats, bush fire, timber exploitation and deforestation have contributed to climate change. The study recommends climate action and climate diplomacy, building local capacity for resilience, engaging the private sector, partnerships and international assistance.","PeriodicalId":292161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics and Technology Research","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141651571","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}

Interestingly, there seems to be a “Spill-Over” of this “Conditional Data-Transformation Imperative” that impacts the development and execution of forecasting-protocols.Focus We offer inferential-tests of Transformations applied to randomly selected S&P500 Firm-datasets to address the following research Questions of Interest:(1) Is there Transformation-Jeopardy if the wrong Box-Cox-Carvalho-Transformations are selected re: (a) The Capture Rate Profiles for the 95% Forecasting Prediction Internals Or (b) The Relative Absolute Forecasting Error [RAFE] for the Forecasting Predictions?(2) In a consulting context, when Transformations are correctly used, the client almost always requires that the forecasts be re-transformed to the original measure of the data. Is there a Re-Transformation-Jeopardy re: the forecasting decision-intel needed to inform the decision-making processes of the client?Results We found that the theoretical expectations for the 95% Forecasting Prediction Intervals were founded even if the transforms were not to have been correctly selected. However, if the wrong transformation was to have been selected, non-trivial RAFEs are the likely result. Finally, if the correct transformation was to have been selected, re-Transformations to the original data-measures likely will inform the decision-making processes.","PeriodicalId":292161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics and Technology Research","volume":"15 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141652716","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}

Multiple taxation, corruption, value added tax, policy failures and inefficient fiscal operations are identified by this study as contributive factors to income inequality and poverty in Nigeria. The findings revealed that the relationship between total tax revenue and poverty rate is positive (as against apriori expectations). The estimated results are R2 at 0.626243 and adjusted R2 0.588253 which are the coefficient of determination or explainability of the independent variable (TTR) for the dependent variable (GIN), 63% of the changes in the dependent variable (GIN) is caused by changes in (TTR). The study concluded that tax revenue has a significant positive impact on poverty rate and income inequality in Nigeria. Major recommendations are that the Ministry of Finance, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) the state board of Internal Revenue Service, the Joint Tax Board (JTB) should improve the dividend of taxation through accountability, transparency, better revenue generation and tax revenue expenditure on infrastructure and basic services.","PeriodicalId":292161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics and Technology Research","volume":"29 44","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141659726","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}

Notwithstanding this, food production requires adequate financing and by extension, plays some important role in reducing poverty level. Hence, this study investigates the extent to which specific agricultural financing will impact food production and reduce poverty level. The study employs secondary data which spans 1981 to 2021 and adopts Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) for the methodology. The choice of ARDL is to capture the impact for short- and long-run period. The findings from the study highlight the following: specific agricultural financing is found to be highly instrumental in promoting food production in the country. Aside this, food production is equally found to have much impact in reducing poverty level. This impact is assured in both short- and long-run periods. However, while available arable land significantly influences agricultural finance, it is much found to be sustained and long lived in the long run. Thus, the policy implication arising from this study gives necessity to a policy that will enhance credit facilities to the farmers and other supports that will ensure food surplus.","PeriodicalId":292161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics and Technology Research","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139145872","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}

Furthermore, the study aims to identify the constraints and potential to achieve sustained and dynamic results expected from the industrial park development. Despite varying degrees of successes and failures, several countries have utilized industrial park and other types of special economic zones as a policy instrument for fostering economic transformation. Ethiopia is one of the African countries that have adopted industrial park development as a policy tool to enhance its economic growth and transformation. However, the effect of the industrial park policy initiative of the country is not well researched. The analysis of the study reveals that industrial parks in Ethiopia have contributed statistically significant effects on export earnings, employment creation, and FDI attraction with significant levels of p= <.001. The analysis also showed that the top five binding constraints for the effectiveness of the industrial park development are low labor productivity, domestic raw material supply constraints, weak forward and backward linkage, transport cost and logistic constraints, and institutions’ capacity constraints. On the other hand, the availability of a trainable labor force, raw material potential, preferential policies and incentives, the economic growth of the country, and the labor wage rise in China and other emerging countries are identified as the top five potentials and opportunities to achieve sustained and dynamic benefits of industrial park development in Ethiopia.","PeriodicalId":292161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics and Technology Research","volume":"185 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121306958","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}
