“…To evaluate the impact of FinTech on the banking sector discipline, the authors [25] employed a FinTech index from (2000-2014). They found that fintech reduces the positive correlation between bank deposit growth and capitalization [31]. They also found that the unfavourable relationships between banks' hazardous assets and deposit growth diminish as fintech development rises.…”

This study examined the impact of financial technology FinTech on economic growth in Palestine, moreover, the study used annual time series data from the Palestinian Ministry of National Economy (MoNE), the Palestinian Ministry of Finance and Planning (MoFP), as well as the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) and the Palestinian Monetary Authority (PMA), in addition to investigating the current study of the impact of FinTech on Palestinian economic development for the period (2008 to 2021). In addition, the co-integration was evaluated using a distributed autoregressive approach, and a vector error correction model was used to consider long- and short-term causation. However, the data shows that FinTech products (number of people using the Internet, number of broadband subscriptions, number of mobile cellular subscriptions, number of automated transfer machines, number of branches) contribute to the growth in financial inclusion, which in turn fuels the growth economy in Palestine. Moreover, these results indicate that the (PMA) in Palestine is focusing more on expanding access to financial services. Moreover, this study aims to explore opinions and attitudes regarding the emergence of financial technology in Palestine's future financial services industry. The study’s objectives were also achieved by speaking to a group of managers in the banking and financial services industries, who were administrative employees from departments with technical, software and information technology departments, in addition to departments specialized in technological fields electronic payment services. The study analysis was performed based on the objectivity of the data collected. The approach used in this study was used to produce and rank data-related results for these traits and patterns. According to the findings of the study, it is critical that existing banking and financial institutions, academic institutions, technology companies and business incubators work together to build a supportive environment for the Fintech system in Palestine. According to the ADFGLS co-integration test results, all variables are stable at the initial difference. The results of the ARDL technique show that the co-integration of the variables occurs and that the null hypothesis is rejected. The VECM results show that fintech products have a long-term and short-term causal relationship with both economic growth and financial development. Thus, the results indicate that financial technology in Palestine has many obstacles: rules and regulations, cybersecurity, customer distrust of digital services, etc. All of this is believed to have a direct and beneficial impact on the Palestinian economy.

This study review the internationalization of SMEs in East Java from a literature and empirical perspective with the aim of providing in-depth knowledge based on the existing literature and supported by empirical data generated from previous research. This study uses content analysis of current theories and models coupled with empirical analysis of the internationalization studies of SMEs that have been carried out. There are several theories and models, such as the internalization theory, the eclectic paradigm, the Upsala model, the network perspective that connects the internationalization strategy of SMEs in East Java, and several modes of entry for internationalization. The theory is based on the basic resource-based view and network theory. Documented evidence shows that the internationalization strategy of SMEs in East Java still has many obstacles and challenges. Theoretically, the internationalization strategy related to the mode of entry leads to networking. Empirical data supports that the strategy mostly carried out by SMEs in East Java is networking independently. The results of this study are expected to contribute ideas for policymakers, in this case, the government, to play a more active role with long-term strategies for the success of the internationalization of SMEs in East Java.

“…According to [10], teenagers and young people are more open to learning sustainable behaviours and are more likely to disseminate such behaviours to others. Students should be seen as present and future customers who can make a big difference and pick up and maintain excellent behaviours [11,97,98]. They will also serve as the future planners, decision-makers, and instructors of the new economy's marketing strategies [12] as well as future environmental management policymakers [13,98].…”

Researchers and policymakers have long been interested in education for sustainable development (ESD). Despite a sizable body of research, more thorough empirical investigations are needed to comprehend how sustainable development goals are applied in higher education and how (ESD) could be used to influence sustainable behaviour. The two main drivers behind this sort of study are the lack of studies examining economic and business higher education and the requirement to accurately measure the relationship between (ESD) principles and students' behaviour. In light of this justification, the current study seeks to offer an overview of how students’ perceptions of sustainable campus efforts, teaching staff engagement, and curriculum influence their sustainable behaviour. The statistical and econometric analysis performed on survey data of students from Birzeit University (BZU) (N = 1062) reveals insights into the degree to which students’ knowledge of topics relating to sustainable development is obtained via education results in sustainable behaviour. According to the findings, we contend that a greater emphasis on sustainable development subjects along with efforts by teaching staff to increase student understanding of sustainability concerns are essential to promoting sustainable behaviour in students. On-campus activities are unlikely to alter behaviour unless they are elective rather than mandated. Our findings confirm the essential need for consistency in developing higher education to sustainability challenges, as education is one of the key drivers of sustainable development.
