Following the governments 2007 decision to zero-rate motorbikes with engines less than 150cc, Kenyas motorcycle taxi business has experienced tremendous growth. The operations of the motorcycle taxi business in the country are characterized by a very high rate of fatal accidents and deaths resulting from road traffic accidents and litigations hence raising questions on the sustainability of the motorcycle taxi business. The study adopted the descriptive research design. Using the systematic random selection method, a sample of 249 motorcycle taxi drivers from a population in Nairobi County was chosen. The study employed primary data that was collected through questionnaires given to motorcycle taxi drivers. A pilot study was carried out to evaluate the validity and reliability of the research tools. To determine the current links between the variables under investigation and the data shown in tables, graphs, and charts, a Multiple Linear Regression analysis was performed. The findings of the study revealed that business support services had a significant influence on the sustainability of Motorcycle Taxi Businesses in Nairobi County. It was recommended that: The government should avail business support services to the motorcycle taxi operators to improve the growth and sustainability of business in the sector and offer subsidies to those who want to engage in the motorcycle taxi business and put strict regulations to control the provision of these services. \u0000KEYWORDS: motorcycle taxi business, business support services; sustainable business","PeriodicalId":314081,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Southern Economic Light","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114328800","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 phrase says it all, “One cannot want foreign money and hate foreign businesses at the same time.” Does South Africa, as a country, love foreign investment, and by extension, foreign investors? A ‘yes’ and a ‘no’ answer will do for this question. Foreign direct investments are the most desirable form of capital inflows to emerging and developing countries. Many benefits are linked to accrue to a nation because of FDI inflows. FDI is climatic sensitive, and usually goes where it is wanted most and where conducive environment prevails. The South African nation is dominated by unending violence that also targets foreigners including their businesses. Effective policies to curb xenophobia seems to be lacking. There exist xenophobia denialism among the political leaders, making it more difficult to halt the problem. Letting the nation continue turning into a hostile destination for foreigners may pose a great investment challenge in the longer term. The path that South Africa is walking today, of protecting and failing to address issues of xenophobia, have a long term impact to investment in the country. Conflicts and violence attacks, hence xenophobia, continue to affect FDI flows several years into the future. The trend of net FDI has already shown a downward trend that may be attributed to issues of unrest persistent in the economy. The study strongly indicate that repetitive xenophobic attacks significantly impact future FDI inflows negatively. Immediate action is required to minimize the damage caused by xenophobia in the country. Investment climate restoration is required to ensure favorable economic growth path for the country.\u0000KEYWORDS: Economic Growth, Foreigners, Foreign Direct Investment, Instability, Investment, Investment Climate, Socio-economic Development, Violence, Xenophobia, South Africa","PeriodicalId":314081,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Southern Economic Light","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115861524","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}

{"title":"VERTICAL FISCAL IMBALANCES IN INDIA:\u0000CONCEPT AND MEASUREMENT","authors":"Aditi Agrawal","doi":"10.36713/epra2660","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36713/epra2660","url":null,"abstract":"India is a federation whose roots can be found in the colonial period. Indian federal setup is clearly divided between centre,\u0000state and local government and likewise, the sources of revenue and responsibilities are also divided between them. The\u0000decentralization process in India is asymmetrical in the sense that decentralization of expenditure has been much more\u0000than the revenue decentralization as provided by the Constitution, thereby creating an imbalance in states’ income and\u0000spending. When this mismatch between the two is measured at different levels of government, we call it Vertical Fiscal\u0000Imbalance. In this paper, I have presented various definitions and measures of VFI given by several economists over the\u0000years and tried to measure the extent of VFI that exist in India since 1990-91 to 2014-15. We have used twenty five years data\u0000to make an analysis based on the data available in Finance Commission reports and Indian Public Finance Statistics. Our\u0000results show that the amount of revenue that has been decentralized over the period of study falls much short of the\u0000expenditure requirements that are expected to be met by the state governments. The situation is so intense that the state\u0000governments are left with no option other than relying on central transfers for financing their needs and that where the\u0000central government enjoys an upper hand and an authoritative power over the internal matters of the states.\u0000KEYWORDS: Expenditure, Decentralization, Indian federation, Revenue, Vertical Fiscal Imbalance.","PeriodicalId":314081,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Southern Economic Light","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132278418","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}
