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%. Second, there is 80.2% chance of remaining in a renewable energy … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived http://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=qSyX_i8AAAAJ&citation_for_view=qSyX_i8AAAAJ:Tyk-4Ss8FVUC 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 Main Objectives and Expectations for the Use of Social Media in the Public Sector in Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This chapter interrogates Africa’s public sector organisations’ major objectives for using social media. The review of the literature and social media accounts found that social media platforms are used to provide information to citizens. The secondary objective is to identify effective pathways for offering opportunities for citizens to engage with public sector organisations in Africa. The chapter also identifies that social media platforms assume increased importance during times of crisis to manage emergencies in Africa. Social media platforms are an integral part of delivering e-government services in African countries. On the political front, social media plays a crucial in promoting democracy and citizens’ political participation. This chapter acknowledges the role played by social media platforms in enhancing government communications, engagement, and participation in governance.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource G. K. Musah, M., Onifade, S. T., Ankrah, I., Gyamfi, B. A., & Amoako Description An account of the resource Following the rising importance of energy transition in the environmental sustainability discussion, it is imperative to understand the roles of sustainable energy innovations and financialization to reach informed inferences for policy formulation. We examined the environmental quality performance in Sub-Sahara Africa using the case of the resource-rich Ghanaian state vis-à-vis the possible moderating influence of green innovations and financial development. The empirical analysis encompassed various estimation issues, including structural breaks, heteroscedasticity, and normality in data structure. We simulated with the dynamic autoregressive-distributed lag technique and confirmed that financialization, resource rents, and economic growth are significant positive determinants of pollutant emissions. However, green innovations decrease the rate of pollution in the nation.

Title A name given to the resource Renewable energy (electricity) development in Ghana: Observations, concerns, substitution possibilities, and implications for the economy. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Boqiang Lin, Isaac Ankrah Description An account of the resource Can Ghana build its economy on renewable energy? Is it possible to substitute nonrenewable for renewable energy? What is the impact of renewable energy on the economy of Ghana? These questions are relevant and worth considering as far as the renewable energy development agenda in Ghana is concern. Using the translog production function approach, this study primarily investigates whether Ghana can move away from nonrenewable electricity generation to renewable power generation. In particular, we provide estimates for the relationship between the two energy types and output. The estimates are then used to calculate the output and substitution elasticities between renewable and nonrenewable energy. Our findings show that while the impact of nonrenewable energy on Ghana's economy is negative, that of renewable energy is insignificant, with output elasticities for both energy types averaging −0 … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2019 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:u-x6o8ySG0sC 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 Public Sector Marketing Communications: Insights from/for the Primus National Football League Rwanda Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This chapter highlights the potential of an unexplored African Professional Football League to leverage its brand through effective marketing communications. The chapter is primarily documentary analysis-driven, drawing upon a mixture of official statistics, contingent literature and personal observation, especially the on-pitch performance of the Rwanda Professional League Football. Considering the sponsorship deals the government of Rwanda has with Arsenal Football Club in the English Premier League, and the VisitRwanda visibility, it is surprising that the domestic league is less globally visible. Interestingly, the league recently secured a sponsorship deal with the local brewer, Bralirwa, promoting a change of label Primus National League due to agreed naming rights with the domestic brewer. Arguably, football leagues are quasi-government entities and deserving of the label, public sector. Overall, the chapter advances a potential avenue for a perception change of global observers (including potential investors) of the football league in a country at the forefront of African development.

Title A name given to the resource On Nigeria's renewable energy program: Examining the effectiveness, substitution potential, and the impact on national output Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Boqiang Lin, Isaac Ankrah Description An account of the resource Considering the objectives of Nigeria's Renewable Energy Program, three basic questions are asked in this study: Can Nigeria really build its economy on renewable energy? Is it possible to substitute nonrenewable energy for renewable energy? What is the impact of renewable energy on the economy? This study primarily analyzes renewable energy development in Nigeria. Among other things, we estimate the economic impact, output elasticity, and the substitution possibilities of both renewable and nonrenewable energies. Our findings, based on a dataset from 1980 to 2015, in the framework of the translog production function, show that capital and labor are the main drivers of output in Nigeria; however, the economic impact of both energy types (renewable and nonrenewable) are insignificant, even though positive.

Title A name given to the resource Brazilian energy efficiency and energy substitution: a road to cleaner national energy system Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Boqiang Lin, Isaac Ankrah, Sylvester Adasi Manu Description An account of the resource Recognizing the need to increase energy efficiency across various sectors of the economy, the Brazilian government through the national energy efficiency plan (adopted in 2011) seeks to avoid 30 million tons of CO2 emissions through a reduction in electricity consumption of about 10% by 2030. Notwithstanding, we believe that a complete realization of such initiative will be dependent on the level of substitutability between different production factors and fuel types. Using the translog production function method, this paper, first provides insight on the economic impact of both factor and fuel inputs in Brazil. Most importantly, we examine the possibility of substitution among capital, labor, petroleum, and electricity. The ridge regression technique was used to estimate the parameters after our data depicted the existence of multicollinearity.

Title A name given to the resource Renewable energy development in Ghana: Beyond potentials and commitment Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Boqiang Lin Description An account of the resource Considering the significance of renewable energy in the sustainable energy future discussion, it is important to understand its influencing factors in order to draw result implications for policy formulation. This study examines these influencing factors for Ghana in the context of an unimpressive renewable electricity scale-up amid the potentials and commitment. It proceeds to forecast the trend of renewable energy fifteen years after the sample period. The results, based on the application of the Vector Error Correction Model and Johansen cointegration technique, on a dataset covering 1980 to 2015, shows that Ghana’s renewable electricity is mainly driven by foreign direct investment and trade openness, with real GDP per capita being inconsequential. What’s more, both financial development and fossil fuel consumption undermine renewable energy development in Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource Democracy and Use of Social Media by Public Sector Organisations in Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson, Description An account of the resource The adoption and use of social media is influenced in part by the prevailing political environment. The use of social media in Africa is fraught with some challenges due to the lack of political will, and sometimes opposition from some government institutions. The chapter provides the reasons why social media is viewed as anti-democratic within the African socioeconomic context. Some of the toxic factors have been found to include the promotion of misinformation, fake news, hate speech, and voter manipulation. The chapter also provides some examples of social media ban in Africa supervised by governments that perceive the technology as destructive. This chapter as well advocates for the promotion of social media because of its democracy-deepening function and concludes that social media must be promoted to develop democracy on the African continent Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Nature Switzerland AG Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-22642-7_5 Language A language of the resource English
