“…Along with handling autocorrelation and measurement error, FGLS can handle several sorts of model misspecification. Due to its ability to manage heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation using a cross-sectional specific variance–covariance matrix, this panel data model has been utilized to estimate marginal effects in several empirical studies (Ahmad et al, 2022; Arshed et al, 2022; Huang et al, 2023; Iqbal et al, 2023). In general, FGLS is a useful and often used statistical approach for dealing with heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation in regression analysis, allowing for a more accurate and reliable assessment of the relationship between variables.…”

This study examines the impact of different factors on inflation in six regions of the world between 2002 and 2021, analyzing variables such as control of corruption, political stability, broad money growth, GDP growth, and imports to exports ratio. This study seeks to investigate the crucial factors that cause inflation and their significance in different regions. The feasible generalized least square (FGLS) results indicate that the determinants of inflation vary in different regions, but broad money growth consistently increases inflation across all six regions, while control of corruption and political stability reduce inflation in most regions. The study has business implications for political stability and its contribution to inflation control. This should be taken into account when making investment choices by businesses operating in politically insecure regions. The study also highlights how crucial it is to control the growth of broad money and comprehend how GDP growth and inflation are related. Policymakers should establish effective inflation control measures that take into consideration the unique elements driving inflation in their region. JEL Classification: E31, P24, P44

Purpose This study aims to consider environmental sustainability, a global challenge under the preview of sustainable development goals, highlighting the significance of knowledge economy in attaining sustainable aggregate demand behavior globally. For this purpose, 155 countries that have data available from 1995 to 2021 were selected. The purpose of selecting these countries is to test the global responsibility of the knowledge economy to attain environmental sustainability. Design/methodology/approach Results are estimated with the help of panel quantile regression. The empirical existence of aggregate demand-based environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) was tested using non-linear tests. Moreover, principal component analysis has been incorporated to construct the knowledge economy index. Findings U-shaped aggregate demand-based EKC at global level is validated. However, environmental deterioration increases with an additional escalation after US$497.945m in aggregate demand. As a determinant, the knowledge economy is reducing CO2 emissions. The knowledge economy has played a significant role in global responsibility, shifting the EKC downward and extending the CO2 reduction phase for every selected country. Further, urbanization, energy intensity, financial development and trade openness significantly deteriorate the environmental quality. Originality/value This study contains the empirical existence of aggregate demand-based EKC. The role of the knowledge economy is examined through an index which is calculated by using four pillars of the knowledge economy (technology, innovations, education and institutions). This study is based on a combined panel of all the countries for which the data was available.

“…Despite not being new, CSR is still hotly debated. It is a topic of discussion in academia and governments when talking about the negative impact that some companies have on the global environment and its social effects (Iqbal et al , 2023; Golob et al , 2019: Matten and Moon, 2020). Examples include the removal of forest cover, global warming, pollution, environmental degradation and child labor (Naatu et al , 2022).…”

Purpose This study aims to fill the gap on proenvironmental behavior studies among consumers in bottom of the pyramid (BOP) market by examining the relationship between values, beliefs and norms among Ghanaian consumers. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 324 Ghanaian consumers (responses rate of 64%) was used to estimate the model. The data was analyzed using maximum likelihood robust approach of Lavaan package for structural equation modeling in R. Findings The findings show that there is no significant relationship between values and the new ecological worldview, which also does not affect awareness of environmental consequences. However, awareness of consequences, likely based on personal experiences, significantly impacts perceived ability to reduce threats to the environment. Ghanaian consumers are mainly influenced by personal experiences with local environmental consequences that affect their perceived ability to reduce threats to their environment and their willingness to engage in proenvironmental behavior. The study supports the argument that proenvironmental behavior is the result of complex decision-making that might be influenced by a country’s economic situation, infrastructure, culture and institutions. Research limitations/implications This study focuses on a single country in Africa. More studies are needed among other base of the pyramid countries, and in comparison to developed countries’ consumers. Originality/value The study adds to the limited knowledge regarding sustainable consumption in the neglected context of the bottom of the pyramid market.
