“…To overcome the problem associated with the short sample size, the annual data were transformed into quarterly data via Econometric Views (version 10). Interpolation is a widely employed econometric approach (Shahbaz et al, 2014) found in several published studies for developing countries (Osundina, 2019;Shahbaz et al, 2014;S. J. Shahzad et al, 2016).…”

Sound innovation capabilities help the nations not only to capture bigger market shares but also to sustain long-term economic growth. Innovation is of vital importance at all stages of a country’s development as it promotes productivity, value creation, employment, economic growth, and sustainability. Several factors can affect the innovation activities of a country. For example, peaceful and stable environment, effective macroeconomic designs, sound institutional quality, and efficient utilization of resources are of great significance for a country to nourish economic, business, and market activities. Applying the Auto Regressive Distributive Lag approach to cointegration, this study investigates the short- and long-run impacts of aid, political instability, and terrorism upon the innovation of a laggard economy, namely, Pakistan. Our findings reveal that aid, political instability, and terrorism all have adverse impacts on innovation. Results across robustness checks remain the same. This study is of strong policy implications for policymakers, governments and opposition parties, and security and intelligence agencies to develop sound macroeconomic designs and policies, bring harmony for political stability, and curb terrorism, respectively.

This research aims to (1) examine the impact of the number of females aged 15 years and over (JWU), the provincial minimum wage (UMP), the average length of schooling (RLS), and economic growth (PE) on the labor force participation rate (LFPR) in Central Sulawesi Province from 2016-2021 and (2) determine the partial influence of JWU, UMP, RLS, and PE on the LFPR. Secondary data from the publications of Central Agency of Statistic, the Department of Manpower, and Transmigration are utilized to analyze the data. Additionally, the panel data regression analysis with the fixed effect model (FEM) was applied to enhance the results. The results showed that the number of females aged 15 years and over has a significant impact on the LFPR in Central Sulawesi Province Eastern Indonesia, with a probability of 0.0000. Meanwhile, the provincial minimum wage, average length of schooling, and economic growth have no significant impact, with probabilities of 0.1630, 0.7360, and 0.6769, respectively. This suggests that these three variables have no effect on the female LFPR in Central Sulawesi Province Eastern Indonesia.

“…Hence, these fresh graduates were willing to work for low-quality jobs due to the difficulty of entering the high-quality job market. Osundina (2020) discussed the sustainable development goals had brought about general improvements in the quality of life of females, especially in the aspects of health and education. There were positive and significant relationships among the health status, the level of education and the labour participation rate of females in Nigeria.…”

“…It is also deemed timely to examine the women's employment rate using the robust statistical tests of Vector Error Correction Method (VECM) and Johansen Cointegration Rank Test. Osundina (2020) explained that females with higher education and appreciable health statuses have better chances of participating in the labour force. In a nutshell, the purpose of this research was to study how net-flow of foreign direct investment (FDI), GDP growth rate, educational level (EDU), marital status (MARS), and fertility rate (FR) affect the sustainability of the women's employment rate (WER) in the Malaysian economy development nowadays and in the future.…”

This research paper develops a model for the sustainability of women’s employment rate in Malaysia’s economic development. This study examined annual data from 1982 to 2018, with 37 observations. A new econometric method was adopted to determine both short-run and long-run relationships among the variables using the Johansen Cointegration rank test, Vector Error Correction Method (VECM) with error correction model of cointegration equation. The VECM results revealed significant and positive short-term relationships between foreign direct investment, gross domestic product (GDP), and the negative short-term relationship of the lagged period of women’s employment rate to women employment rate (WER). The variables, GDP, education level, and women’s marital status are cointegrated and have a long-term relationship between WER in the cointegration equation. The Johansen Cointegration rank test also showed the existence of cointegration equations, and a long-term relationship between the variables. Eventually, the residual diagnosis, significant error term, and the performance of the model evaluation were found as satisfactory and valid. In short, this research paves the way for policymakers to construct a better policy for the future of women’s employment sustainability.
