The data was sourced from the NBS database of production statistics, labour statistics, and foreign trade statistics, as well as administrative, enterprise, and household surveys. The entire productive sector was aggregated into thirteen sectors with similar features and according to international industrial standard classification. The table constructed shows that the coefficient values have changed over the years since the last review. There are indications of slight positive changes in innovation, technology, and business activities that have sprouted up over the years. Furthermore, there were no negative values in the entire production matrix. The results of the impact analysis show that electricity and water have a strong production linkage and their positive impacts cut across income, value-added, and with a relatively lower impact on job creation from direct, indirect, and induced effects. It is undeniably one of the economy's major driving sectors, while agriculture, lodging and food service, transportation and storage, professional, arts, administrative, and public sectors (labour-intensive sectors) are at the forefront of employment and income generation. The manufacturing industry contributes less to per capita income and employment. This is a signal that the nation is still lacking behind in terms of industrial development, which is the key or bedrock of development and employment generation in developed nations of the world.","PeriodicalId":431573,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Developing and Emerging Economies","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114921393","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}

Bah, Unisa Dumbuya","doi":"10.37745/ijdee.13/vol10n2113","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37745/ijdee.13/vol10n2113","url":null,"abstract":"The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between natural resources by source, institutional quality by source, and economic growth in Africa using multiple co-integration analysis, the ARDL technique, and VECM granger causality. The findings show that various resources contribute to economic growth in different ways. Mineral rents (MR) have a negative impact on growth, while forest rents (FR) have a beneficial impact. The findings also show that forest rents contribute more to growth in the rule-of-law (ROL) model than in the market openness (MO) model. Among the institutional quality (IQ) variables, the rule of law has the most significant impact on the continent's economic growth. Furthermore, when IQ was added as an interaction variable in the models, both resources (MR and FR) ended up contributing favourably to development. The study recommends that resource-rich countries must specifically concentrate on improving the rule of law since robust outcomes are generated when interacted with natural resources.","PeriodicalId":431573,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Developing and Emerging Economies","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133410794","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}
