A meta-analysis study of the relationship between research and economic development in selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa

A bibliometric study of human–computer interaction research activity in the Nordic-Baltic Eight countries

“…Research activity was analyzed using absolute publication counts, as well as these publication counts normalized according to the respective gross domestic products (GDP) and the country population sizes. Relationships between GDP and research output have been reported in several works (see for instance Hart & Sommerfeld, 1998;Vinkler, 2008;Onyancha, 2020) as well as relationships between GDP per capita and research indicators (see for instance Ye, 2007).…”

Macroeconomic factors, R&D expenditure and research productivity in economics and finance

“…However, prior literature reveals mixed and contradictory findings on the link between macroeconomic factors and research output. While some papers found no causality (Inglesi-Lotz et al, 2015), some others determined unidirectional (Jin, 2010;Solarin and Yen, 2016) or bidirectional (Onyancha, 2020) causality between economic growth and academic research. The examination of the relationship between macroeconomic environment and academic research volume would seek help nations to develop and implement proper policies and strategies to foster macroeconomic performance as well as to promote academic research to improve research productivity.…”

“…This study specifically focuses on economics and finance domain's research productivity and macroeconomic factors as the two sides of the association are closely related and quite straightforward since the subject of the research in economics and finance domain is particularly drawn from the macroeconomic field. Besides, a country's economic development relies on the utilization of the research output in solving real-life problems concerning economic issues (Onyancha, 2020). Therefore, research productivity (quantity) in economics and finance may contribute to a country's economic development, implying the significance of high-quality knowledge dissemination in these MF 48,5 fields.…”

“…First, as there is limited research focusing on the bidirectional causality between the macroeconomic environment and academic research activity, our study adds to the understanding of the causality relationship between these two constructs. Second, our research examines the bidirectional relationship between macroeconomic factors and research output at a global scale, while prior studies mostly focus on a single country, such as Japan (Jin, 2010), South Africa (Inglesi-Lotz andPouris, 2013;Odhiambo and Ntenga, 2016), the USA (Inglesi-Lotz et al, 2014;Blanco et al, 2016) or a certain region or continent, such as Asian countries (Meo et al, 2013), BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) countries (Inglesi-Lotz et al, 2015), East Asian countries (Jin, 2009) and sub-Saharan Africa (Onyancha, 2020), limiting the generalizability of their findings. Third, while prior studies mostly use a limited number of indicators such as economic growth (i.e.…”

Global, Regional, and National Burden of Accidental Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, 1990–2019: A Systematic Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

“…These economic parameters are widely used in the evaluation and prediction of national economic development. [16][17][18][19]…”
