The aim of this study was to examine the curvilinear relationship between tangible investment and sustainable firm growth in the MENA region, as well as the moderating role of financial inclusion on this connection. To achieve this, we selected a sample of 465 firms over the period 2007–2020. Employing a system GMM model for the empirical analysis, the findings reveal that there is a curvilinear (inverted U-shaped) nexus between tangible investment and sustainable firm growth. Moreover, this study employs a moderating effect model to demonstrate that financial inclusion can enhance sustainable firm growth. The system GMM model further indicates that financial inclusion moderates the curvilinear relationship between tangible investment and sustainable firm growth. This study offers valuable insights for strategic firm planning and policy development, highlighting the role of financial inclusion in promoting firm sustainability.

“…The empirical literature concerning remittances-FI nexus produced inconsistent results (Ajefu & Ogebe, 2019;Murshed et al, 2023). Many studies reported positive association between remittances and FI (Ajefu & Ogebe, 2019;Kokorović Jukan et al, 2020).…”

This study examines the remittances and financial inclusion nexus by subsuming the critical role of institutional quality in the unique settings of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) economies. The existing literature pertaining to the role of institutional quality in remittances and financial inclusion has placed less emphasis on the multidimensional nature of financial inclusion. Therefore, this study contributes to the debate on the role of institutions in explaining the nexus between remittances and financial inclusion. By adopting two-stage least squares (2SLS) and generalized methods of moments (GMM) estimation techniques, the empirical findings show that institutional quality plays a significant role in explaining the relationship between remittances and financial inclusion across various dimensions. The overall findings are further confirmed by applying a series of robustness checks such as the adoption of alternative measure of financial inclusion and institutional quality, alternative instruments and alternative estimator. The study offers useful policy implications for governments, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders in BRI partners economies. GEL Classification: F24; G15; G28

Thus, the process of creatively discovering distribution channels and opportunities in a firm's domestic and international market to pursue competitive advantage is considered of paramount importance.…”

Vietnam, an emerging economy, leads the Southeast Asian region in terms of the growth rate of coconut production; yet, its sustainability is questionable because Vietnam lacks a credible strategy to reap the benefits of its export potential. While the literature is rich with studies on coconut-related export competitiveness and readiness, it seems that studies focused on a single set of factors, and very few studies take Vietnam as a case study for analysis. Studies we found use aggregate data for econometric analysis. On the contrary, this study attempts to address the literature’s gaps by proposing a comprehensive view of key factors identifying the export potential of bottled coconut water. It also adds to our comprehension of how large- and small-scale manufacturers prioritize factors differently. To answer the research questions, we collect qualitative and quantitative data for analysis. We use AHP and M-CRITIC-RP methods for ranking the factors. This study also incorporates the criteria weights into the gravity of the trade model to identify export potential to target markets. Our findings can draw researchers’ and policymakers’ attention to the importance of considering how firms and manufacturers prioritize key factors in export readiness, and thereby impact export potential and target markets.
