Title A name given to the resource Financial sector deepening and economic growth in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Eric Maric Nkrumah Description An account of the resource The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of Financial Sector Development on Economic Growth in Ghana using the Johansen Co-integration analysis. The paper examines empirically the causal link between financial sector development and economic growth in Ghana. The Johansen Co-integration techniques within a bi-variate vector auto-regressive framework were used for the regression. Using a quarterly time series set of data on Ghana over a ten year period (2000–2009), the result of the study shows that, there is a statistically significant positive relationship between the Financial Sector Development and Economic Growth in Ghana. This outcome is in line with the results found for most of the literature reviewed. It is recommended that Government should encourage competition in the financial sector and micro finance development as these will improve and increase outreach and access to credit at a lower cost. This will boost private sector development and investments which is the engine of growth and development. This study will help policy makers in decision making as well as serve as a source of reference for further studies. Further studies are recommended to increase the frontiers of this study. Further research on the role of financial sector developments–following Hasan et al.(2006)–is warranted in order to gain a more conclusive understanding of the finance-growth nexus in a transitional country like Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource Journal of Chinese Economic and Foreign Trade Studies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Doku, John Akuma, John Owusu-Afriyie Description An account of the resource Purpose–This study aims to examine the quantitative effect and direction of Chinese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on economic growth in Africa using a sample of 20 African countries from 2003 to 2012 with data obtained from United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the World Bank. Design/methodology/approach–The study used panel least squares regression, specifically fixed effect model to examine the quantitative effect of Chinese FDI on economic growth in Africa. The study also used Granger causality test to examine whether a causal relationship exists between economic growth and China’s FDI in Africa. Findings–The study finds that a 1 per cent increase in China’s FDI stock in Africa significantly increases Africa’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth by 0.607 per cent, all things being equal. Furthermore, the study finds that a causal link exists between GDP growth in Africa and China’s FDI and the nature of causality is unidirectional. Practical implications–The study recommends that to stimulate Chinese FDI in Africa, free visas must be given to Chinese investors coming into the continent, low tariffs should be imposed on inputs and intermediate goods from China and grant of business operation permit to Chinese investors must be made less bureaucratic. Originality/value–This research has not been presented to any journal for publication and is originally written by the authors.

Title A name given to the resource Management accounting practices and financial performance of manufacturing firms: Moderating role of information technology integration Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John Kwame Akuma, Anthony Adu-Asare Idun, George Tackie, Emmanuel Addai Kwaning, Kojo Agyekum Asiama Description An account of the resource This study assessed the moderating role of information technology integration (ITI) in the relationship between management accounting practices (MAPs) and financial performance (FP) of manufacturing firms. MAPs comprise five dimensions namely; Costing System (CS), Budgeting System (BS), Decision Support System (DSS), Performance Management System (PMS) and Strategic Management Accounting Practices (SMAP). This research applied the cross-sessional survey design to obtain data from managers of manufacturing companies in Ghana. Data from 266 respondents were processed using Smart PLS (version 4) and analysed using the Structural Equation Modelling. The study found a significant positive moderating role of ITI in the relationship between a dimension of MAPs called performance management systems (PMS) and FP. The research contributes to the literature on MAPs by empirically establishing the role technology plays in the MAPs and FP nexus. These findings extend the literature on the role of ITI by encouraging manufacturing firms in Ghana to implement ITI skills and PMS to enhance their FP. The study recommends that leadership of manufacturing firms in Ghana should blend PMS (like ratio and variance analysis) as well as ITI skills to boost their financial performance.

Title A name given to the resource Management accounting practices and sustainability performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John Kwame Akuma Description An account of the resource This study was designed to assess the relationship between Management Accounting Practices (MAPs) and sustainability performance (SsP) of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The study also investigated the moderating roles of IT adoption, CG and OC in the link between MAPs and SsP. The positivist philosophical paradigm, quantitative research approach, explanatory research design, and cross-sectional study design were employed for the study. Questionnaire was designed to obtain data from managers of 266 manufacturing firms and Smart PLS-SEM was used to analyse the data. The study found significant positive relationships between CS and FP, DSS and EP, DSS and SP, PMS and EP, PMS and SP, as well as SMAP and EP. All other individual first order direct relationships were not significant. Secondly, the study also found a significant positive moderating role of IT adoption in the link between PMS and FP. Thirdly, CG was found to have a positive significant moderating effect in the connection between PMS and EP. Fourthly, CG was found to have a negative significant moderating effect in the link between DSS and EP. However, OC played no moderating role in the MAPs and SsP nexus. The study concludes that, manufacturing firms should implement CS (like variable costing), DSS (like customer profitability analysis), PMS (like variance analysis, and ratio analyses) and SMAP to boost their SsP. They must also implement IT adoption skills and PMS to enhance their FP. Last but not least, they should resource their audit committees as well as implement PMS to boost EP.
