Making use of Nigerian data from 1990– 2017, this paper sought to investigate the interactive effects of unemployment, poverty, and insecurity in Nigeria; and examine the response of poverty and unemployment to the emergence of conflict in Nigeria by employing the Granger causality test and the variance decomposition technique. The results show that as more people fall below the poverty line, the rate of unemployment increases and government spends more on security; and also as more people become unemployed, the level of poverty increases; and as government expenditure on security increases, poverty increases. Insecurity accounted for the greatest shocks in poverty and unemployment; and also, poverty and unemployment positively and significantly responded to shocks from insecurity. The paper recommends that appropriate micro- and macro-economic policies that are tailored towards elevating more people above the poverty line, creating more employment opportunities, and imposing more stringent penalties on culprits involved in insecurity vices must be pursued to enhance citizens’ quality of life. \u0000JEL Classification: E24, F52, I32","PeriodicalId":91807,"journal":{"name":"Tanzanian economic review","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73443001","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}

Informed by the positivist and deductive paradigms, as well as theoretical lens of the AIDA model, the study used structured questionnaires to gather quantitative data from 103 conveniently sampled NHC customers based in the Tanzania’s sprawling city of Dar es Salaam. These were complemented by in-depth information from 3 key informants. Data were subjected to multiple regression analysis. The findings indicate that of all the four constructs, only two—television, and radio— advertisements were the major shakers as they emerged as significant predictors with 53% and 27% contribution to changing the consumers’ buying behaviour, respectively. Print and online media, on the other hand, insignificantly contributed 13% and 7% to influencing consumers’ buying behaviour respectively. These findings have implications for policy makers and real estate companies seeking to make the most from advertising of real estate products through the media.","PeriodicalId":91807,"journal":{"name":"Tanzanian economic review","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80862859","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}

It relied on the autoregressive distributed lagged (ARDL) technique, utilizing data obtained from the World Bank Development Indicators (WDI) between 1980 and 2018. The specific objectives of the study are to examine the impact of financial deepening on industrial growth, and compute the threshold of financial deepening index required to spur industrial growth to its optimum level. To achieve the above, the study built its theoretical framework on the supply-leading hypothesis. The results reveal that financial deepening index exerts a positive impact on industrial sector growth. Also, financial deepening threshold of 36.8% is required to spur industrial sector output to its equilibrium steady-state, beyond which industrial growth declines. Furthermore, the Granger causality test supports the bi-directional hypothesis, hence, the study concludes that government policies and programs should be focused at persuading financial institutions to grant more credit facilities to private investors in the industrial sector. \u0000JEL Classification: C5 G2 I6","PeriodicalId":91807,"journal":{"name":"Tanzanian economic review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81541719","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}

Using an exploratory method of analysis; the paper recognises that the EU was founded with the aim of establishing a ‘Common Market’ with the ‘four freedoms’ of goods, services, persons, and capital. By aiming for free movement of goods and services, it is proven in the paper that a single market goes beyond a ‘free trade area’ or ‘free trade agreement’, which is predominantly concerned with reducing—and in many cases eliminating—trade tariffs on goods between members. A single market tackles other trade costs—especially non-tariff measures such as licensing and other regulatory barriers to trade. The paper further considers the place of Britain in the EU, and establishes the fact that the EU is important as far as Britain is concerned. It confirms that the EU is the UK’s largest trading partner, comprising around half of all trade. Therefore, the impact of the BREXIT on the UK economy is not farfetched. The paper finally considers the roles of the EU in the ECOWAS by stating that the two regional unions have some common peculiarities. Some of the roles of the EU in nurturing the ECOWAS include: trade and economic structure of ECOWAS, institutional setting and policy coverage, political dialogue, development cooperation, regional integration and trade supports, etc.","PeriodicalId":91807,"journal":{"name":"Tanzanian economic review","volume":"119 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77934832","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 study used annual data for the period 1996 to 2017, which was obtained from the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Bank database of the World Development Indicators of 2018. The study estimated the random effects and fixed effects models. Importantly, instrumental variable-fixed effects regression was estimated to control for the potential endogeneity in the regression. The study findings indicate that unemployment in the EAC is likely to decrease with sustained economic growth and increased supply and access to private sector credit while, on the other hand, increased trade openness and gross national expenditure are likely to exacerbate the unemployment problem. Therefore, the study recommends measures to increase economic growth (such as promoting high productivity industries with high employment intensity), enhance competitiveness and reasonable protection of infant firms (e.g., through subsidized credit), and enhance supply and access to credit by the private sector (such as risk insurance and reduction of interest rates). \u0000JEL Code: E24, J01 J2.","PeriodicalId":91807,"journal":{"name":"Tanzanian economic review","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90202477","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}

It examines the relationship between domestic savings, investments and current account balance by analysing the position of selected demographic variables in Nigeria, both in the short- and long-term, using the ARDL cointegration method, and a sample period from 1980 to 2018. The study tested whether there was empirical evidence supporting the life-cycle hypothesis (LCH) in Nigeria. However, the study revealed that the coefficient of error correction was negative and highly significant, as well as establishing a long-term cointegration. The study revealed a negative sign of life expectancy; and the ratio of total age dependence was found to be statistically significant, thus indicating that a unit increase in life expectancy and the ratio of total age dependence could result in a decline in current account balance in Nigeria by 1.2796 (127%) and 6.43038 (643%), respectively. This result supported the presence of the LCH theory on saving actions in Nigeria, since people could borrow. In addition, the population growth exhibited a positive relationship with current account balance. Therefore, a unit change in the population age structure is expected to influence saving, investment and current account balance; especially with an increase in population, because the current account is, by definition, equal to the saving-investment balance. \u0000JEL Classification: E21, F32, J13","PeriodicalId":91807,"journal":{"name":"Tanzanian economic review","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79102356","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}

Previous studies failed to link health expenditure appropriately to family planning and poverty alleviation in Nigeria. This study addresses this theoretical gap by employing the vector error correction mechanism (VECM) in analysing the interrelationship between government fiscal health, family planning and poverty rate in Nigeria by employing time series data from1977 to 2019. The data were tested for stationarity and found to be statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the VECM showed that GDPP, SGHE, POVR and MMORR significantly explain 44.49% variation in family planning, while the ECM coefficient indicates a speed of adjustment of 5.372%; and it is statistically significant. The FEVD of family planning (FP) indicated that the variability of the SGHE was also rising between 0.193528% in the second period to 2.811% in the tenth period. The variability in POVR accounted for 1.008% of the variation in FP in the second period. The variation in poverty rate fell relatively over the forecast horizon such that at the tenth period it was 1.888%. The study concluded that the government’s fiscal health expenditure has a positive but insignificant impact on FP, but a negative impact on POVR and MMORR in Nigeria. It is recommended that the government should increase its fiscal health expenditure significantly. This can be achieved via an increase in the budgetary allocation for the health sector.","PeriodicalId":91807,"journal":{"name":"Tanzanian economic review","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84669537","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}
