This study therefore, analysed the impact of financial development and financial inclusion on economic growth in Nigeria from 1981-2019. Adopting the classical linear regression modelling technique, the results showed that financial development and financial inclusion have significant positive impact on economic growth in Nigeria. The study therefore recommended that government should make policies that would enable financial intermediaries mobilise funds more efficiently and also make these funds accessible and affordable to individuals (even at the lowest segments of the society), businesses, as well as other productive sectors of the economy. This is how financial development and financial inclusion will continue to enhance growth in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":38704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economic Policy in Emerging Economies","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136258717","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}

We also extended our tests to see to what extent information asymmetry influencing these two variables. To test our proposed hypothesis, we used a sample of 200 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2016-2018 period and 600 firm year observations. With the moderate regression analysis (MRA) method and panel data regression, we provide evidence that information asymmetry is related to accounting conservatism and cost of equity capital, as well as having a role in influencing accounting conservatism and cost of equity capital. We also found that accounting conservatism could reduce the cost of equity capital. Our study is expected to make a contribution to academics, investors, managers, and regulators. Furthermore, this study is expected to fill the debate of financial accounting practices in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":38704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economic Policy in Emerging Economies","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135704654","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":"CONTRIBUTION OF REINSURANCE BUSINESS TO THE ECONOMY","authors":"Ben Kajwang","doi":"10.47941/ijecop.963","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47941/ijecop.963","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: Insurance provides protection against financial aspects of a premature death, injury, and loss of property, loss of earning power, legal liability or other unexpected expenses. However, the industry’s contribution to the economy goes much further. One could point to the millions of people employed in insurance and related activities, to the billions of income taxes and premium taxes paid and to extensive charitable works. But, significant as they are, insurers also need protection against risk. That is why reinsurance has developed in last two centuries. The importance of reinsurance is reflected in the costs insurers are willing to pay to acquire reinsurance protection and the fact that without adequate protection the insurance companies might not be licensed to do business. The purpose of this work is to enhance the reader’s understanding on the various contribution of reinsurance business to the economy. \u0000Methodology: A desktop literature review was used for this purpose. Relevant journal articles for the study were identified using search engines such as Google Scholar, Google Books, Semantic Scholar, Science.gov and Research Gate. The studies included in the study were note that were less than ten years old. \u0000Findings: From the findings, researchers have shown that without the guarantee of reinsurance, most businesses could not operate as they do today, and construction projects could not go forward. \u0000Recommendations: This study recommended that insurance firms should seek for re-insurance as it provides for protection against the potential large accumulations of individual losses that can result from catastrophic events. Insurance firms should also seek for reinsurance as an effort to restrict the loss to their balance sheets, and in that sense, helps them to stay solvent. Other firms should also be insured in firms that have undertaken reinsurance in order to add stability to the   firms   by evening out the results of the insurance companies as they continue to absorb the impact of large losses which would have led to very damaging results to the individual insurance companies. Moreover, insurance firms should consider regional reinsurance so that in case of a national catastrophe, the foreign firms can be in a position to compensate.","PeriodicalId":38704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economic Policy in Emerging Economies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89072963","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}

To achieve this in the short-run, to start with, the use of appropriate monetary policy instruments is indispensable. Hence, this study examined the short-run causality between monetary policy and agricultural sector performance.\u0000Methodology: Time series data for the study were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria between 1981 and 2020. The monetary policy instruments in the model were money supply (MS), monetary rediscount rate (MR), exchange rate (ER), prime lending rate (PR) and agricultural sector implicit price deflator (ASI) while agricultural sector performance was proxied by the gross domestic product for the sector.  After first differencing, the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test confirmed the stationarity of the variables. Optimal lag selection-order recommended four lags. The vector autoregressive model, pairwise Granger causality test and Wald coefficient test were used to show the robustness and validation of the causality test.\u0000Findings: The result shows that the t-statistics of LnMS (2.70), LnMR (3.00), LnER (2.05) and LnPR (3.53) were statistically significant (p<0.05), suggesting bidirectional relationship between monetary policy and agricultural sector performance. There was a unidirectional causality running from LnASI to LnASG. It was concluded that monetary policy Granger-caused agricultural sector performance in the short-run.\u0000Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: The study recommended that monetary authorities should note that that changes to MS, MR, ER, PR and ASI would affect ASG and vice versa in the short-run as well as the overall macroeconomic growth; and policy decisions that are aimed at altering ASG would affect MS, MR, ER, PR.","PeriodicalId":38704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economic Policy in Emerging Economies","volume":"264 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91328647","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 CPI is one of the most important variables for analyzing inflation in macroeconomics, therefore any change in the dynamic must be determined. In this paper change points and dates are highlighted and statistical analysis methods have been employed to explore and discover the underlying patterns and trends of Zambia’s CPI for the past 10 years. \u0000Methodology/approach: Secondary Data from Zambia Statistics Agency (ZamStats.gov.zm) was used for the Study. From 132 elements of observations of time series for 10 years, the detection methods of structural change were employed. The Cumulative Sum Tests (CUSUM test) of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Andrew Sup F test, Bai and Perron test, and Chow test were used to detect the model stability and verify the hypothesis using P-value. \u0000Results: The results show that there were five (5) Structural changes or breaks in mean and variance and these were February 2012, February 2014, October 2015, October 2017, and May 2019. The structural breaks are highly suggestive as they appear to broadly coincide with readily identifiable macroeconomic events, increased stock of external debt following the issuance of Eurobonds in 2012, 2014, and 2015, rise increased food prices arising from the adverse impact of erratic rainfall on agricultural output and the pass-through from the depreciation of the Kwacha. \u0000Policy Implication: Based on the study, strong and sound macroeconomic policies are needed to be implemented: Such as debt management and diversification of foreign exchange sources, and increased earnings.","PeriodicalId":38704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economic Policy in Emerging Economies","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74742501","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}

Some countries with abundant natural resources still suffer from achieving this goal. Based on this reason, this study was carried out to empirically look into the relationship between petroleum resource as measured by oil rent, and official exchange rate, and economic welfare as measured by gross domestic product per capita of five-selected lower-middle-income of oil producing countries (i.e. Nigeria, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt and India), using annual time-series data sourced from World Bank for the periods 2010-2020. \u0000Design/methodology/approach – This objective was achieved with the utilization of static panel data method coupled with other linear models such as; Pooled OLS, Fixed effects, and Random effects models. \u0000Findings – The results of the findings of Pooled OLS revealed that petroleum resource as measured by oil rent and official exchange rate had significant bearings on economic welfare as measured by gross domestic product per capita by 103.3 per cent and 0.14 per cent respectively on the average. The result further displayed that fixed effects model was an appropriate model to explain the significant fixed effects oil rent and official exchange rate had on improving gross domestic product per capita, when choice was made between Pooled OLS and fixed effects model. More so, the result further demonstrated that random effects model was the best model to explain the random effects oil rent and official exchange rate had on contributing positively to the gross domestic product per capita, when choice was made between fixed effects and random effects models. Finally, Panel Diagnostic residual test results showed that the series were normally distributed, hence the presence of cross-section dependence was not found in the model. \u0000Conclusion/Policy Implication – The study concluded that for these five-oil producing countries to achieve their economic welfare, they must adopt mixed effects model as portrayed by the findings of this study for policy inference. As this is geared towards enabling these countries to achieve policies that are aimed at pegging their exchange rate to the value of dollars, and increasing the value of crude oil production, so as to improve their economic welfares.","PeriodicalId":38704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economic Policy in Emerging Economies","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78733574","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 summarised result on Threshold Vector Error Correction model showed that positive and negative deviations for eight states (Borno, Cross River, Edo, Nassarawa, Osun, Plateau, Yobe and Zamfara) exceeded their respective threshold values. Also all the values of the above threshold values are not equal to the below threshold values,indicating the presence of asymmetric transmission. The presence of asymmetric transmission showed price changes along the chain (from farmer/marketer to consumer) was greater than the market costs of handling cattle and agents will be in a greater position to implement price changes before transmission takes place. This indicates strong asymmetric price transmission since price changes moved from bottom of the chain to the top.
