“…Human resource capacity building in OMICs research plays a vital role not only in health and disease but also in building a knowledge-based economy (Dandara et al, 2014;Kumwenda et al, 2017). In 2016, from a total of US$22.3 billion spent on R&D worldwide, African countries spent only US$0.25 billion (1.1%) (Sokolov-Mladenović et al, 2016). Data from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (access date: 22/11/2019) show alarming disparities in R&D expenditure for African countries with South Africa and Egypt accounting for 60% of all represented countries (Fig.…”

Following the publication of the first human genome, OMICs research, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metagenomics, has been on the rise. OMICs studies revealed the complex genetic diversity among human populations and challenged our understandings of genotype-phenotype correlations. Africa, being the cradle of the first modern humans, is distinguished by a large genetic diversity within its populations and rich ethnolinguistic history. However, the available human OMICs tools and databases are not representative of this diversity, therefore creating significant gaps in biomedical research. African scientists, students, and publics are among the key contributors to OMICs systems science. This expert review examines the pressing issues in human OMICs research, education, and development in Africa, as seen through a lens of computational biology, public health relevant technology innovation, critically-informed science governance, and how best to harness OMICs data to benefit health and societies in Africa and beyond. We underscore the disparities between North and Sub-Saharan Africa at different levels. A harmonized African ethnolinguistic classification would help address annotation challenges associated with population diversity. Finally, building on the existing strategic research initiatives, such as the H3Africa and H3ABioNet Consortia, we highly recommend addressing large-scale multidisciplinary research challenges, strengthening research collaborations and knowledge transfer, and enhancing the ability of African researchers to influence and shape national and international research, policy, and funding agendas. This article and analysis contribute to a deeper understanding of past and current challenges in the African OMICs innovation ecosystem, while also offering foresight on future innovation trajectories.

“…It is not just sharing of information, but also sharing of technology and techniques. The transfer of knowledge between organisations and between employees contributes to the promotion of human capital (Sokolov-Mladenovi c et al, 2016). Therefore, the firm's R&D intensity and R&D activities can improve the level of staff knowledge and ability, the organisation of knowledge and the technical level of accumulation, or generate new knowledge, affecting business performance.…”

“…Her findings highlighted the need for companies to focus on R&D intensity to improve future commercial value. According to Sokolov-Mladenovi c, Cvetanovi c, and Mladenovi c (2016), R&D is used to implement laboursaving technological changes. In other words, the results of scientific research contribute towards an increase in the efficiency of existing workers.…”

This study examined the impact of research and development (R&D) investment behaviour on the corporate performance of the Taiwanese semiconductor industry, which faced the economic downturn caused by the global financial crisis of 2008, for the period 2005-2016. A dynamic panel data model was used to empirically analyse the impact of R&D intensity on business performance. A generalised method of moments estimator was adopted to avoid endogeneity problems caused by adding dynamics to the model. Further, the model was used to explore the impact of the lag effect of R&D investments on business performance. It was found that significant R&D investments in a given period may reduce business performance in the same period and continue to influence it in the next few periods, thus indicating the presence of a positive and lagged effect of R&D investments in the high-tech industry. Firm size was also found to be positively correlated with business performance, that is, the larger the firm size, the greater is the use of resources for R&D, which, in turn, leads to more sophisticated technologies and profitable outcomes, forming a positive cycle. This indicates that R&D expenditures affect firms' sustainable management. ARTICLE HISTORY

Impact of Sustainable Financial and Economic Development on Greenhouse Gas Emission in the Developed and Converging Economies

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Several studies have examined the relationship between environmental performance and economic development. However, most of them did not take sustainable development and financial development into account. The study argues that sustainable financial and economic development contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We use the panel data regression model to capture the relationship between greenhouse gas emission and sustainable economic and financial development. The panel data refers to the period of 2007–2017. The EU 25 countries were analysed. The results show that the relationship between sustainable financial development and environmental degradation is more relevant for converging economies than developed countries. We found that the variable “energy productivity” has the strongest impact on greenhouse gas emissions for both country groups (converging and developed); however, it increases for developed countries and it decreases the greenhouse gas emissions for converging economies. We also found that environmental taxes are an efficient instrument that mitigates greenhouse gas emissions, especially in developed countries group.
