“…Second, the effectiveness of good governance, which pays great attention to the quality of regulations, high efficiency of public capital and effective tools to control corruption, could provide a practical business framework that can promote economic growth. And the positive relationship between good governance and economic growth has been verified in various regions (Zall e, 2019;Drebee et al, 2020;Al-Saadi and Khudari, 2020;Mahmood, 2021). Hence, we propose hypotheses 4 and 5.…”

PurposeThis paper investigates the relationship between human capital, economic freedom, governance performance, and economic growth and whether institutional factors such as governance performance and economic freedom mediate the association between human capital and economic growth.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the authors apply the panel data regression method to verify five hypotheses and check the robustness of the empirical findings from four aspects (chow test, panel unit root test, granger test and generalized method of moments) based on the data covering China, India, Russia, Brazil and South Africa from 2000 to 2018.FindingsAfter multiple tests with mixed methods, the empirical results show that the relationship between human capital and economic growth is not linear but inverted U-shaped. Furthermore, human capital has a positive effect on economic growth only in a certain period of time, and governance performance positively moderates the effect of human capital on economic growth in BRICS.Originality/valueFirst, the impact of human capital on economic growth is not linear but an inverted U-shaped and governance performance moderates the effect of human capital on economic growth in BRICS. The study and research model enhances the authors’ insights on the advantage and challenges of human capital in the future. Second, the proposed multi-methods in the study accurately forecast economic growth which partially solves endogenous problems because of reverse causality.

“…The data on inflation and agricultural investment was obtained from the [10]. Finally, the corruption data was obtained from [11], where the CPI was used, whose index ranges from 0 (very corrupt) to 10 (very clean) [12]. Regarding the cultivated area, its average value was 2211.5 thousand hectares, where the lowest value was 35.5 thousand hectares, and the highest value was 3986 thousand hectares.…”

The agricultural sector is one of the most important economic sectors in Iraq. It is ranked second after the crude oil sector in terms of its contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP). However, its contribution to the GDP declined from 26.93% in 1991 to 10.86% in 2004, 7.23% in 2010, and 4.77% in 2020. This decline can be attributed to many determinants of agricultural production that had a significant impact; therefore, this study aimed to investigate the determinants of agricultural production in Iraq during the period 2004:1- 2020:4 using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL). The study concluded that there is a short and long-run equilibrium relationship between the GDP and the cultivated area, corruption, inflation, agricultural investment, agricultural production requirements, the availability of water, and employment in agricultural, on the other hand. The results indicated the significant impact of these variables on agricultural GDP in the long run. The main variables contributing to the agricultural GDP are water availability, corruption, and employment in agricultural. The estimates of the short-run parameters would correspond in terms of signs and significance with the results of the long-run estimates, even if the parameters’ values varied in different proportions. It indicates that the Iraqi agricultural sector suffers from a lack of optimal use of agricultural resources. Therefore, decision-makers in Iraq must adopt an effective agricultural policy by setting plans for the optimal use of water and paying attention to the human element to be qualified to carry out employment in agricultural and attract investment in the agricultural sector to develop it. It is also necessary to put in place financial and economic policies that reduce the adverse effects of inflationary pressures in the short and long terms, combat rampant corruption in the country, and preserve agricultural lands and reclamation of unsuitable lands.

“…The 2018 Worldwide Governance Indicators data placed the Indonesian government in the 107 th position out of 214 surveyed countries with a governance index score of 46.48, much below Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, and Malaysia (Kaufmann & Kraay, 2019). The data indicate that the Indonesian government still poorly implements good governance that negatively affects various sectors, including the pervasiveness of corruption (Drebee et al, 2020;Rahayuningtyas & Setyaningrum, 2018;Tyagi, 2019), slower economic growth (Al-Bassam, 2013), and public welfare (Keser & Gökmen, 2018), and reduced public trust (Cheung, 2013;Jameel et al, 2019).…”

This study aims to assess the quality of post-reformation good governance implementation in 34 Indonesian provincial governments using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. Specifically, the method determines the governance index sourced from the KNKG covering democracy, transparency, accountability, legal culture, and fairness and equality principles. The findings show that (1) there are 26 or 76.47% provincial governments with “good” good governance quality and 8 or 23.53% provincial governments with “adequate” good governance quality; (2) Indonesian provincial governments tend to exhibit fluctuating but downward performance (although still in the “good” category); (3) Bali Province is the best province in implementing good governance, while North Maluku Province is the worst province in implementing good governance in Indonesia; (4) the Kalimantan region is the region with better governance implementation quality in Indonesia, while the Maluku region exhibits the poorest performance. Our empirical findings underscore the importance of stakeholders’ commitments and synergy in improving good governance quality.
