“…Business growth is made possible by the company's willingness to support the usage of technology. People are more inclined to adopt new technology if they believe doing business is simple (Babatunde et al, 2021). EDB is a crucial marker that reveals the ideal setting for enhancing new technologies and also a key element that influences how willing a population is to adopt innovation.…”

Artificial intelligence is user-friendly and possesses useful characteristics to share across the various services that are provided. By enhancing innovative contact, artificial intelligence applications (AIA) enable a more involved environment in governmental institutions. The goal of this study is to discover how users in the UAE feel about using AIA for educational reasons. Data collected from a survey of 387 university students were used to validate the model and hypotheses. The adoption features, such as perceived compatibility, trialability, relative advantage, ease of doing business, and technology export, are included in the conceptual model. The current study's practical implications are crucial in that they push the relevant educational authorities to comprehend the significance of each component and enable them to make plans and efforts in accordance with the order of the factors' relative importance. The managerial implications give educational sectors insight on how to apply AIA in their system to improve the growth of the provided service and to make the process easier for all users. The conceptual model of the paper, which links both traits of the individual and those of the technology, is what makes it new. The findings indicate that the diffusion theory variables outperform the other two variables of ease of doing business and technology export.

“…Using a dynamic panel data model from 2004 to 2015, Shabani and Parang (2019) found that the EDB negatively and significantly influenced capital flight in all the studied countries. Another study by Babatunde et al (2021), who utilised the OLS technique, found that the return on investment was significantly negatively impacted by government policy consistency, government procurement procedures, the availability of raw materials and workforce quality. Canare (2018) evaluated the effect of EDB on firms in 120 countries.…”

This study assessed the link between ease of doing business (EBD) and investment among 11 selected countries in West Africa covering 2006-2020. The study used the fixed-effects estimator, the random-effects estimator, the augmented mean-group method, and the Half-Panel Jackknife Wald-type test.The study found a bidirectional relationship between the EBD and foreign direct investment (FDI) and a unidirectional relationship running from EBD to domestic investment. The findings further revealed that the EBD and national income have a strong influence in determining the level of domestic investment and FDI inflows, and that some indicators of EBD, such as the procedure for starting a business, access to credit facilities, tax, and security threats, discourage domestic investment and FDI inflows, in contrast to the influence of obtaining electricity and national income on investment. The study suggests that West African governments reduce taxes, ease the procedures and costs of starting a business and dealing with construction permits, and increase the availability of credit facilities at lower interest rates to promote investment in the region.domestic investment, ease of doing business, foreign direct investment, investment, West Africa | INTRODUCTIONSeveral economies rely on their level of investment to achieve economic and developmental goals. As explained by Keynes, national income rises when investment increases (Ono, 2011). This means that investment determines the growth and development of developing nations. It also helps in the transfer of technology and skills that accelerate the growth process in developing countries (Ho & Rashid, 2011). A higher level of investment also creates jobs and generates income that is spent and reinvested. Developing and underdeveloped economies in their developmental quest and process are becoming increasingly conscious of the fact that investment is a major stimulus to economic growth given the inadequacy of financial resources, technology, and skills. According to Ijirshar et al. (2019), investment improves the standard of living of citizens and drives economic growth. It is one of the major components in aggregate income analysis (Kukaj & Ahmeti, 2016). Anyanwu ( 2006) also shows the relevance of investment as an engine of economic growth for developing economies.

During times of financial turmoil, when traditional assets experience significant volatility, commodity markets provide diversification benefits to investors. The objective is to investigate the factors influencing financial contagion between the United States and emerging Asian equity markets (China and India). The study analyzes the influential impact of the volatility index, gold, oil, and USD index on financial contagion among the markets. The dynamic conditional correlation analysis is utilized to explore the correlations during the US subprime and Covid-19 crises, and quantile regression analysis is conducted at different levels of time-varying correlations. The study's results suggest that financial contagion becomes more pronounced during periods of financial turmoil, and global financial crises contribute to alterations in the dependence structure between financial contagion among equity markets and global macroeconomic risk factors. The effect of financial contagion can be abridged through altering portfolio reallocation strategies according to investors’ risk appetite during high market volatility.
