Title A name given to the resource Prediction of Electricity Consumption in Ghana: Long or Short Memory Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource S Twumasi Ankrah, Isaac Ankrah Description An account of the resource In this study, we explore both univariate and multivariate aspects of time series analysis. In the univariate aspect, we evaluated the predictive performance of three widely used univariate time series methods in forecasting the electricity consumption in Ghana during the 1980–2011 periods. The three univariate time series approaches are autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), autoregressive fractional integrated moving average (ARFIMA) and exponential smoothing. In each approach, we examined competing models and the “best” model according to the minimum information criterion and diagnostic checking was selected. The forecast accuracy measure (ie; mean absolute forecast error, MAFE) was computed for each “best” model in the three different approaches. The empirical results revealed that the MAFE for ARIMA, ARFIMA and exponential smoothing were 31.3%, 9.4% and 41.6% respectively. Thus, the comparative analysis of the forecast performance of these methods clearly concluded that the ARFIMA method gives better forecast in predicting electricity consumption in Ghana. And, in the multivariate aspect, we examined whether GDP, export, import and population influences electricity consumption. The results revealed a feedback causality between electricity consumption and economic growth. Again, we established that there exists an uni-directional influence of import, export, population towards electricity consumption. The “best” model of the univariate approach is ARFIMA (2, 0.31, 1) with MAFE of 9.4% while the “best” model for the multivariate approach is vector error correction model VECM (3) with MAFE of 1.5 … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Advances in Economics and Business Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=qSyX_i8AAAAJ&citation_for_view=qSyX_i8AAAAJ:UeHWp8X0CEIC Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource HIV/AIDS scourge and economic growth in sub-Sahara Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource S Twumasi-Ankrah, JT Ashaolu, Isaac Ankrah Description An account of the resource This study examines the impact of HIV/AIDS scourge on economic growth of some selected Sub-Sahara African countries. The three sub-Sahara African regions (Southern, West and Eastern) are categorized into lowest and highest HIV prevalence rate, using the global report of the UNAIDS 2012 data. In each region, the lowest and the highest HIV prevalence rate countries are selected respectively. Thus, we consider a panel of three countries in each category over a period from 1995–2012. We used these data to estimate the cross-country level regressions of these two categories, using panel data models. Thus, our results are in twofold: For lowest HIV prevalence rate category, the pooled OLS model was the “best” model. This pooled OLS model indicated that, for one unit increase in HIV prevalence rate, the gross domestic product per capita of countries is expected to decrease by US $23.46, holding all other variables constant. Again for highest HIV prevalence rate category, the fixed effect model was the “best” model. The fixed effect model revealed that, one unit increase in HIV prevalence rate will cause the gross domestic product per capita of countries to decrease by US $9.98, holding all other variables constant. Generally, for a unit increase in HIV prevalence rate, the impact of HIV on the economy is two-thirds larger in lowest HIV prevalence rate countries than that of the highest HIV prevalence rate countries.

Title A name given to the resource Modeling ICT adoption and electricity consumption in emerging digital economies: Insights from the West African Region Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Michael Appiah Kubi, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Brenya Boahemaa, Derrick Donkor, Lilian Arthur, Christopher Lamptey, Eric Ekobor-Ackah Mochiah Description An account of the resource This study investigates the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on electricity consumption in West Africa, employing a dynamic panel data model. The results show a significant long-term positive effect of ICT adoption on electricity consumption. Notably, internet connections increase the demand for electricity, with estimates ranging from 13.4 % to 19.3 %. While mobile phone subscriptions demonstrate modest positive effect of 6.85 %, personal computer ownership appears to have a negligible impact. The study contributes to the existing literature by offering a detailed examination of the distinct effects of different ICT components on electricity consumption, incorporating a novel estimation approach and sensitivity analyses that account for the COVID-19 pandemic and the Anglo-French linguistic divide.

Title A name given to the resource Towards a cleaner energy system: estimating the odds of transitioning to an energy-efficient state Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah Description An account of the resource At the heart of the global transition to cleaner energy systems is also an inherent mandate of ensuring a transition to an energy-efficient economy. This study applies a two-regime Markov switching dynamic model to examine the possibility of transitioning to an energy-efficient state, using Ghana as the subject of analysis. Since changes in energy intensity do not necessarily suggest improvements in energy efficiency, the study controls for the effect of income, trade, and energy price. The results show that Ghana has a higher chance of transitioning to an energy-efficient state but a relatively lower possibility for such efficiency to persist. What's more, it would take 1.2 y for the said efficiency to persist. The study recommends a broad policy overhaul targeting institutional restructuring, energy financing, and regulatory efficiency as means to facilitate the prospects of transitioning and improving energy efficiency persistence.

Title A name given to the resource Is energy transition possible for oil-producing nations? Probing the case of a developing economy Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Kingsley Dogah, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Derrick Ofori Donkor, Christopher Lamptey, Lilian Arthur Description An account of the resource An expected decline in oil revenue and a complicated global energy market present significant concerns about oil-producing countries’ intentions to move away from fossil fuels. Understanding the dynamics of these concerns, particularly in light of potential energy transitions, is crucial for future energy supply and sustainable energy discussion. Given the scarcity of research on the issue, this study examined whether an implied shift from fossil fuels to a cleaner energy state is possible for Ghana, a small oil-producing economy in sub-Saharan Africa. A two-state Markov Switching Model (MSM) was applied to a dataset covering 1980–2019. Results based on a multivariate state-dependent regression technique were documented as follows: First, the probability of transitioning from a nonrenewable energy state to a renewable energy state is 76.5%.
