{"title":"An Analysis of the Socioeconomic Benefits Arising from Kubwa Rail Station in Abuja, Nigeria","authors":"Komolafe Emmanuel A., Bello A. Victoria","doi":"10.9734/ajeba/2024/v24i51330","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9734/ajeba/2024/v24i51330","url":null,"abstract":"The study examined socioeconomic benefits arising from the location of the rail station in Kubwa community, Abuja. The study adopted survey research, and data was collected from household heads of rented multi-tenanted apartments in Kubwa within 3km of Kubwa rail station. Structured questionnaires were used to elicit data from a sample of household heads of rented multi-tenanted apartments in Kubwa. The collected data was analysed using a weighted mean score and the Kruktal-Wallis test. In a weighted mean, factors are ranked from 1st to last position in descending order of their weighted means, such that the factor with the highest weighted mean ranks first while the one with the lowest weighted mean ranks last. This method is used for its simplicity and ease of communicating the results of the research. The study found that within a one-kilometre radius of the rail station, increased property value is the highest socioeconomic benefit derived from the rail station. Following this came cost-effectiveness, increased retail activity, and improved accessibility and connectivity. The research also revealed that increased property value is the most significant benefit within a two-kilometre radius, followed by improved accessibility, connectivity, and cost-effectiveness. Also, within a three-kilometre radius, cost-effectiveness is the highest socioeconomic benefit derived from the rail station, followed closely by improved accessibility and connectivity, and time schedule and organization. Rail stations play a crucial role in urban and regional development that extends beyond mere accessibility by catalysing a variety of socioeconomic effects in the areas they serve. Consequently, the government must place a high priority on the meticulous maintenance and upkeep of the rail infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":505152,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Economics, Business and Accounting","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140695948","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}

In view of this, using the Chinese provincial panel data from 2008 to 2020 to scrutinize the consequential impact and intricate mechanisms at play between these variables.  Employing a robust methodology, including fixed-effects models, mediating-effects models, and threshold models, the analysis delves into the multi-faceted impact of the digital economy on export implied carbon intensity. It is found that (1) The enhancement of the digital economy can significantly reduce the implied carbon intensity of exports. (2) The digital economy further diminishes the implied carbon intensity of exports through the mediating influences of industrial structure and technological progress. (3) The relationship between the digital economy, industrial structure, and technological progress exhibits a noteworthy non-linear dynamic concerning export implied carbon intensity.","PeriodicalId":505152,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Economics, Business and Accounting","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140696543","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}

From this currently, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix, one of the most well-known tools for strategic planning, is used to evaluate a company's products to help with long-term strategic planning. It assists businesses in finding fresh development prospects and selecting their future investment strategy. This study intends to investigate international markets’ segmentation, marketing and performance of Ethiopian coffee industry using a BCG matrix approach.\u0000Objectives: In this regard, the study has two objectives. First, evaluate Ethiopian coffee industry and its export performance. Second, segment Ethiopian coffee's international markets and assess market attractiveness using the BCG matrix's market share and growth approach.\u0000Methods: The matrix was utilized to examine Ethiopia's coffee export market and the top twenty Ethiopian coffee export destinations with the highest average values over the last six years (2016–2021) were selected from more than sixty countries. The export values extracted from International Trade Center (ITC) database. An explanatory approach was used in this study. In addition to primary data from semi-structured interviews, sales figures and market share from written documents were used as secondary data.\u0000Results: The outcome suggests that Ethiopian coffee destinations are segmented in international markets using a BCG matrix approach, which assists coffee exporters in deciding whether to finance through investments or be liquidated to free up funds with little potential for use elsewhere.\u0000Conclusion: Ethiopian coffee exports have shown growth globally over six years, though dipped in 2018. Germany, USA, Japan, Belgium, and South Korea are top five destinations among the top twenty for Ethiopian coffee export destinations based on an average of six years' worth of export value.","PeriodicalId":505152,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Economics, Business and Accounting","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140714267","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}

Furthermore, it analyses whether the global financial crisis of 2008 affected the direction of the causality or not. For this purpose the causality tests were performed in two sections one on the data for the pre financial crisis period  from 1999 to 2007 and another on the data for post financial crisis period from 2008 to 2022. The causality was tested using the quantile Granger causality test, the research findings reveal the complex causality between the UK stock market and the most prevalent macroeconomic factors. The findings of the research are suggestive that the causality between macroeconomic factors changed from pre-crisis period to post-crisis period. This is indicative of the event sensitivity of the stock market of UK.  It was found that the direction of this causality varies according to the circumstances of the economy and across different sectors involved, and particular economic conditions at various times. The findings of this research provide important insights for policymakers, investors, and economic analysts, as they shed light on the dynamic and complex relationship between the indicators, both on an aggregate and sectoral level.
