Previous studies showed significant and non-significant impact of the flow of external funding on the economy. In this study the researchers analyzed the impact of external funding flow on Jordan's GDP for the period (1997-2017) and found that grants (GR) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) have a statistically significant impact on Jordan's GDP; in contrast, Soft Loans (LN) and the Jordanian Migrant’s Worker’s Remittances (JMWR) have no statistically significant impact on Jordan's GDP for the same period. This study filled the gap and expanded the analysis to test whether there is an impact of grants independently of the soft loans on Jordan’s GDP and vice versa, in addition, the study investigated the impact of other variables such as; Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and the Jordanian Migrant Worker's Remittances (JMWR).","PeriodicalId":92484,"journal":{"name":"Business and economics journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70045015","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}

This essay, which is based on my recent book, Precarious Lives (2018), summarizes the recent rise and consequences of precarious work in six rich democracies: Denmark, Germany, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. We discuss how differences in these countries’ labor market institutions and policies (such as unions and collective bargaining, active labor market policies and employment protections) and social welfare policies (such unemployment insurance and the generosity of other welfare benefits) shaped peoples’ experiences of job and economic insecurity, transitions to adulthood, and subjective well-being. We also outline the elements of a new political and social contract that is needed to address the negative consequences of precarious work for individuals and their families. Such a new social contract must maintain flexibility for employers yet still provide individuals with ways to cope with the negative consequences produced by such flexibility.","PeriodicalId":92484,"journal":{"name":"Business and economics journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70045025","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}

Daniel Carpenter’s (2001) theory of bureaucratic autonomy serves to provide the definition and method for evaluating the research question. The case study identifies that the bureaucratic autonomy afforded is intrinsically bound to interest group politics. There exists little room for initiative not supported by specific interests. Actions required by the multiple use mandates, but not supported by interests will be suppressed. But, of greater interest is in understanding that once support shifts for an initiative all previous action is undone or at least mitigated to a point of inconsequence. Hence, limited bureaucratic autonomy is afforded either way. The multiple use requirements will not satisfy all parties, and does not allow the BLM to ignore other potential uses of the public lands.","PeriodicalId":92484,"journal":{"name":"Business and economics journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70045156","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}

Hence, this paper aims to investigate the potential impacts of extension services and local institutions (social capital) on conservation agriculture and food security. A cross-sectional data is collected from 350 randomly selected farmers in northern Ethiopia. The propensity matching method and endogenous switching regression are used to control for selection bias from observed and unobserved factors. Results indicate that extension services and social capital have significant and positive effects on adopting conservation agriculture and improving household food security. Farmers under the treated groups have higher per capita food consumption, per capita expenditure and food security levels than counterpart farmers. Besides, the rate of adoption of conservation agriculture for the treated farmers is relatively higher than for other farmers. This confirms that extension services, formal institutions and informal groups have motivated farmers to adopt conservation agriculture and replenish risks of food insecurity shocks. Therefore, governments, researchers, academicians, NGOs, development practitioners and others actors should exert utmost efforts and investments to empower local institutions and strength agricultural extension services, which are viable options to stimulate farmers to adopt sustainable agriculture in drought-prone areas of the country.","PeriodicalId":92484,"journal":{"name":"Business and economics journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70045039","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}
