Owing to its ability to reduce transaction costs and allow even the poor to be financially included, it has been widely adopted. While a growing body of literature has examined its welfare effects, its effects on diet quality of households and individuals are not yet well understood. Here, we evaluate the implications of mobile money on household and women's diets. We also explore several mechanisms. Using cross-sectional data from rural Cameroon, we employ instrumental variable methods to control for potential endogeneity. Our results suggest that mobile money is positively associated with household diet quality but negatively associated with women's diet quality. The results further show that mobile money operates through increasing the likelihood of engaging in off-farm employment and increased agricultural commercialization. These results imply that while mobile money could be promoted for improved household diet quality, it should be cautiously done owing to its negative associations with women's diets. In a broader sense, the results suggest that studies should look beyond the household and consider the implications on individuals, especially women who are usually more vulnerable and marginalized.</p>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 3","pages":"523-538"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jid.70073","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147683150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, studies examining the moderating role of democracy in the tourism–economic growth relationship are particularly scarce. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-8) by 2030 requires a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between tourism, democracy and economic growth. This paper addresses this gap by analysing the moderating effect of democracy on the tourism–economic growth nexus in Africa from 2000 to 2020. Using the panel corrected standard errors (PCSE) estimation technique, the study finds that tourism fosters economic growth. Moreover, democracy positively moderates the impact of tourism on economic growth in Africa, with the marginal effect of tourism varying depending on the level of democracy. Accordingly, there are positive synergies from the interaction between democracy and tourism because while tourism promotes economic growth, democracy complements tourism to further promote economic growth. The study discusses the policy implications of these findings and suggests potential policy measures.</p>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 3","pages":"570-588"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jid.70071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147683822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For Synthetic Control Model (SCM), a synthetic control unit needs to be constructed for comparison. The current study creates synthetic China from the weight shared by different predictor variables and the control units in the donor pool. Then, both synthetic China and China were compared after the intervention to determine the effectiveness of ACFTA. This paper offers a comprehensive evaluation of ACFTA effects on China's environmental sustainability using ecological footprint and carbon emissions as proxies for environmental sustainability. The study's outcome indicates that the ACFTA significantly enhanced carbon emissions and ecological footprint after both interventions, highlighting the inclusion of strict environmental regulation into the trade agreements. Further, it suggests policy intervention and international collaboration to eradicate the negative environmental impact of free trade agreements.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 3","pages":"589-602"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147683587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prioritizing deployment of renewable energy can decrease fossil fuel dependence and enhance energy security. This research explores the effects of economic growth, information and communication technology (ICT) development, CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and agricultural land expansion on renewable energy consumption in India from 1990 to 2023 by using World Bank data. Dynamics ordinary least-squares regression (DOLS), Fully modified Ordinary Least Squared (FMOLS) and Canonical Cointegration Regression (CCR) are the three advanced cointegration approaches used in this work. The findings demonstrate that ICT development significantly encourages the utilization of renewable energy, while economic expansion, agricultural land expansion and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions hinder integration. These findings suggest that India can accelerate its renewable energy transition by making investments in digital innovation and ICT infrastructure, while simultaneously adopting sustainable land-use strategies and effective carbon management policies to reduce environmental pressures and balance economic growth with sustainability goals.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 3","pages":"437-450"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147684037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on behavioural economics, social capital and institutional theories, this study proposes a dual analytical framework to measure the supply and demand of financial inclusion separately. Using principal component analysis on Global Findex and IMF Financial Access Survey data for 45 countries in 2021, we calculate a financial inclusion gap to capture the structural mismatch between the provision of financial services and their usage. Fractional logit regression analysis reveals that economic conditions, governance quality and digital infrastructure are the principal predictors of the financial inclusion gap. In contrast, liquidity, resilience, social trust, religious norms and financial literacy are the main determinants of persistent demand-side exclusion. These findings highlight persistent structural and socio-economic asymmetries that result in unequal inclusion across countries. The policy implications suggest a gradual approach to reform, beginning with digital and infrastructural expansion, followed by improvements in governance and social inclusion measures, to reduce misalignments between supply and demand and promote more sustainable and inclusive financial systems.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 3","pages":"451-470"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147683880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
