Multiple intelligences are a group of Intelligence with its entity and domain. Gardner suggests that the human being has different individual units of intellectual functioning. He labels these units as intelligence, each with identifiable and quantifiable aptitudes. The nine intelligence types differently influence an individual's behaviour and decisions. The multiple intelligence Inventory and a questionnaire on investment decision-making were used for data collection from a hundred investors. Analysis was done with the help of Pearson's correlation, multiple regression chi-square test, and correspondence analysis. Rational decision-making is intellectual, as per the review, and it is proved here that intelligence influences rational decision-making significantly while the other is not influenced. The observed results help to get new visions of investment behaviour, including a new proof of the root causes of investment decisions.","PeriodicalId":30329,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Financial Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141682187","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 self-administered structured questionnaire was used to survey 348 owners/managers of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) in the South Eastern District of Botswana. Descriptive and inferential statistics were generated from the gathered data using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM SPSS Version 27.0). findings revealed that entrepreneurial factors, firm-specific factors and exogenous factors impacted the growth and sustainability of manufacturing firms in Botswana. In addition, government policies and guidelines, innovation and creativity, human capital development, access to finance, financial management skills and managerial skills were also confirmed as significantly contributing to the growth and sustainability of manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises in Botswana. Key recommendations derived from these findings include the need for policymakers in the government of Botswana and private sector partners to upskill owners/managers of manufacturing enterprises on business planning, financial management, financial literacy, quality management, and market research skills. Furthermore, efforts should be accelerated to promote products manufactured in Botswana to regional and global markets.","PeriodicalId":30329,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Financial Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141837971","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}

By integrating mathematical modelling and empirical data analysis, the study uncovers how regulatory environments and credit accessibility jointly influence investment decisions. The development of a differential equation model quantitatively reveals that measures aimed at regulatory simplification and enhancing credit conditions are closely linked with increased investment levels. It identifies critical thresholds for regulatory simplification and credit availability, where indices exceeding 0.45 and 0.55, respectively, are associated with substantial growth in investment rates. This assertion is substantiated by empirical evidence from a survey of 250 industry stakeholders, highlighting the significant positive effects of these regulatory and financial adjustments on investment intentions. The findings highlight the necessity of precise financial and credit regulatory reforms to improve Ukraine's tourism investment climate. The practical significance of this research lies in its potential to guide policy formulation aimed at unlocking the investment potential of Ukraine's tourism sector, ensuring its growth and sustainability in the global context.","PeriodicalId":30329,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Financial Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141681005","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 aims to address two key questions: i) Have the events of 2020 and 2022 influenced the integration between the capital markets of MENA countries and precious metals? ii) In the case of a significant increase in integration, will this imply a trend towards efficiency or inefficiency in the markets analysed? The results of the cointegration tests show an increase in integrations between the Tranquil and Stress subperiods; for example, platinum rose from zero integrations to 4, being the market most affected by the events of 2020 and 2022, the MOEX increased from 3 to 6 integrations, the Dow Jones index rose from 1 to 3 integrations, the Amman SE General from 1 to 2 integrations. On the other hand, the ISRAEL TA 125 index decreased from 5 integrations in the Calm period to 1 integration during the Stress period. The EGX also decreased from 2 integrations to one integration, the MASI from three to zero integrations, and gold from 1 integration to zero. The BLSI stock index maintained its 1-1 level of integrations, while silver also followed the same 2-2 trend. These results do not allow acceptance of the first research question since it was found that there were increases/decreases in integrations during the 2020 and 2022 events. The DFA slopes were estimated to answer the second research question since most markets showed significant persistence. However, it was found that this persistence did not coincide with an increase/decrease in the level of integration between the markets analysed. Given these results, the second research question was also partially rejected. In conclusion, the results of this study have significant implications for international investors operating in the financial markets of MENA countries.","PeriodicalId":30329,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Financial Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141683737","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}

For this purpose, daily stock market returns were used over the period of September 3, 2019 - July 10, 2020, for the Cypriot economy. The study applied Granger causality models to explore whether the CSE is impacted by the crisis generated by novel coronavirus. Hsiao’s approach to Granger causality was employed to investigate the causalities among COVID-19 and stock market returns, as well as between pandemic measures and several commodities. The analyses uncover intricate dynamics and contributing factors, shedding light on the observed volatility. The findings demonstrate significant volatility throughout the pandemic, with notable shifts in market conditions. Nevertheless, the stock market showcased resilience and recovery during the initial shutdown period. These insights contribute to understanding the pandemic’s impact on the CSE, offering crucial guidance for investors, policymakers, and market participants.","PeriodicalId":30329,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Financial Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141681906","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 has examined the role of institutional development and policy mix in determining business freedom in developing countries. Institutional development has been measured with the help of government effectiveness and political stability. Policy mix have been measured with the help of monetary freedom and fiscal freedom. To examine the impact of explanatory variables on the explained variable, this study has used panel least squares, random effect model, and generalized method of moments. The estimated results show that fiscal freedom has a negative and significant impact on business freedom, whereas, monetary freedom has an insignificant impact on business freedom in the case of developing countries. The results show that government effectiveness, political stability, and tread freedom are encouraging business freedom in developing countries. The corporate tax has a negative and significant impact on business freedom. Empirical show that developing countries are more inclined towards non-developmental expenditures, thus to control the negative impacts of fiscal freedom developing countries needs rationalization in government expenditures. Developing countries should promote government effectiveness, political stability, and trade freedom to enhance business freedom. To control the negative impacts of corporate taxes, developing countries should rationalize tax policies to promote business freedom.","PeriodicalId":30329,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Financial Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141682814","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}
