“…To check for the robustness of the estimates, this study employs the fully modified OLS and dynamic OLS. In addition to controlling the CSD and heterogeneity, they account for the eventual bias of endogeneity of the variables and serial correlation (Herzer and Donaubauer, 2017;Ngouhouo and Nchofoung, 2021). The estimates reported in Table 7 suggest that overall financial integration and its de jure aspect have statistically positive effects on the installed capacity of renewable energy in the long run.…”

“…The definition of variables is presented in Appendix . Previous empirical analyses show that improvements in economic growth, investment, labor market flexibility, and human capital contribute to lower unemployment rates (Anyanwu, 2013; Baah‐Boateng, 2013; Choudhry et al., 2012; Folawewo & Adeboje, 2017; Ngouhouo & Nchofoung, 2021). The literature also shows that increased government spending tends to increase the level of unemployment (Anyanwu, 2013).…”

The main objective of this study is to analyze the effect of political instability on youths unemployment in sub-Saharan Africa. Particular interest is devoted to the channels through which political instability affects youths unemployment. The empirical analysis covers a sample of 23 countries for the period 2000-2016.To better characterize the labor market framework in sub-Saharan Africa, the empirical analysis incorporates the impact of political instability on youths underemployment and labor underutilization. Using panel data techniques, the results show that political instability increases youths unemployment, underemployment, and labor underutilization in sub-Saharan Africa. The main transmission channels identified are foreign direct investment, domestic investment, gross domestic product, government spending, human capital, and labor market flexibility. The findings confirm the investigated hypothesis. As the main policy implication, policymakers in sub-Saharan Africa should resolve political instability as a priority toward addressing youths unemployment.

“…Rapid global economic integration has motivated developing countries to adopt TOP to enhance inclusive growth and development through technology diffusion, knowledge spillover and economies of scale. TOP may benefit developing countries through technology transfer (Barro, 1997), rise in employment productivity (Ngouhouo & Nchofoung, 2021), and price reduction (Romer, 1993). Anand et al (2013) also encourages economies to open their economies for international trade to foster inclusive growth.…”

The call for inclusive growth has been unanimously declared by policymakers across the world. With India’s rapid economic growth rate, Indian policymakers also set its economy on the track of inclusive growth while formulating the 11th Five Year Plan. Despite, India’s fast-growing and vibrant economy, it fails poorly in Human Development Index ranked 131 in 2016. An unfortunate aspect of the current phase of high growth of the Indian economy has been its ‘non-inclusive’ nature. The distribution of income has been highly iniquitous. The richest 1% in India cornered 73% of the wealth generated in 2017, presenting a worrying picture of rising income inequality. In this regard, the study attempts to identify the determinants of inclusive growth in India by using annual data from 1981 to 2015. The study employs the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and the error correction method (ECM) to investigate the long-run and short-run relationship between inclusive growth and its determinants. The bounds test findings confirm the cointegrating relationship among variables. The ARDL estimates suggest that growth in initial income, government expenditure, human development, investment and financial development fosters inclusive growth; while inflation and population growth dampens it. The results also imply that increasing trade openness and foreign direct investment would not be beneficial for India in terms of growth inclusiveness. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the Government of India should take appropriate steps to increase per capita income and social spending with particular attention to macroeconomic stability while they work at improving the quality of population in order to achieve sustainable and robust inclusive growth.
