Title A name given to the resource From Smartphones To Computerized Business Operations: Modeling ICT Development and Electricity Consumption in Emerging Digital Economies 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 Mochiah Description An account of the resource The integration of new digital technologies amid a rising population in many emerging economies imposes incessant pressure on their energy systems. It has become crucial to draw result implications for future energy sustainability by exploring all relevant issues, particularly in light of how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) influence electricity demand. Using the West African region as the subject of analysis, this study provides insights into the implied connection, taking into account the region’s disparate cultural and linguistic patterns. The study is complemented by a result-based analysis of the socioeconomic and policy implications. The outcomes, derived from the application of a dynamic panel data model to a dataset spanning 1990-2021, show that ICT adoption has significant implications on electricity consumption, with notable positive impact observed in the long run. Interestingly, this effect is largely driven by French-speaking countries in the region. Beyond this statistical revelation, this study underscores the need for a balanced approach to address the ICT-electricity demand interplay. An important conclusion emerges: Embracing digitalization while ensuring energy security and sustainability can unlock economic growth, promote social inclusion, and foster a sustainable future for West Africa.

Title A name given to the resource Determinants of credit rationing to the private sector in Ghana: A case study of some commercial banks in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey Description An account of the resource This study was designed to investigate the rationing behavior of some commercial banks in the Greater Accra region, by looking at the impact of some variables on the amount of loan realized even in the era of interest rate liberalization. A single equation model involving the amount of loan realized as the dependant variable, and interest rate, the value of assets, the value of collateral security, net profits, experience in business, sex, age and purpose as the exogenous variables. The explanatory variables were jointly significant in explaining the dependant variable. The results imply that even though interest rate may be liberalized" 0 that the banks could determine their own interest rates that will make them allocate credit to the private sector. they will still ration out credit instead since other determinants such as those analyzed in this research are of much importance in determining credit allocation due to the … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2010 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ: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 Microfinance and credit rationing: does the microfinance type matter? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource F Sackey, L Diaz-Serrano Description An account of the resource Abstract© 2017,© 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This study sets out to examine the extent to which access to credit and credit rationing are influenced by the microfinance type based on the major factors determining micro, small and medium enterprises’ access to credit from microfinance institutions in the era of financial liberalization. The data for the study were gleaned from the microfinance companies’ credit and loan records consisting of the various pieces of information provided by the borrowers in the application process. Our results are puzzling and show that credit rationing is not influenced by the microfinance types but by the individual microfinance companies. Our results also show that the Government microfinance company is the least severe in the rationing behavior.

Title A name given to the resource Decomposition and counterfactual analysis of the effect of parents’ educational status on youth employment outcomes Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource FG Sackey, P.N Amponsa, P Yeboah Description An account of the resource This study sought to examine the extent to which youth employment outcomes in Ghana are influenced by their individual and family characteristics on the one hand and parents’ educational status on the other. A sample size of 250 youths, both employed and unemployed, was used for the study. A probit estimation with marginal effects was used to determine how these individuals and family characteristics influence employment outcomes. The results showed that individual and family characteristics influence employment outcomes. We disentangle educational background of parents and group them into high and low status. A Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition shows that the employment gap between youths with parents of high educational status and those with parents of low educational status is largely influenced by the differences in the individual and other family characteristics of the youths … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Taylor and Francis 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=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:dhFuZR0502QC 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 Adopting Effective Leadership Strategies for Managing Diversity Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Amdy Diene, Neeta Baporikar, Theresa T Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource In this study, 15 participants from a West African organization participated in interviews and surveys. The themes that emerged from the data analysis were organization conflict, cultural diversity, cultural competency, and the effects of nationalism and ethnocentrism on diversity management. The interview and survey data analysis revealed challenges and opportunities to achieve organizational objectives. These challenges include implementing policies that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in an organization. Leadership strategies for diversity management may fail, decreasing worker satisfaction, retention, organizational success, and the representation of women and minorities in senior positions. Based on the literature review and empirical research findings, effective management strategies promote an effective working environment, promoting employees' well-being and an organization's sustainability … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IGI Global Scientific Publishing Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=FrXAX-kAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=FrXAX-kAAAAJ:SP6oXDckpogC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/4c0fdb273b68f08d034adb55eb04dade.pdf 16058d4258eba5d35b44a1af23828cf5 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 Do trade openness and domestic credit to the private sector stimulate economic growth in Ghana? A bound test approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Kofi Asravor, Isaac Ankrah Description An account of the resource The study examined the impact of trade openness and domestic credit to the private sector (DCP) on the growth of the Ghanaian economy. The study therefore examined the extent to which trade openness and domestic credit to the private sector impact GDP growth with other covariates such as inflation, exchange rate and foreign direct investments both in the short and the long run. Data was gleaned from the World Bank database spanning from 1970 to 2021. The study adopted the bound test approach using the autoregressive distributed lag estimation. Our results showed that trade openness has a positive relationship with economic growth both in the short and the long run while no such significant relationship was observed for domestic credit to the private sector. Again, we observed a positive relationship between inflation and GDP growth at least, in the short run.

Title A name given to the resource Do Petroleum Price Asymmetries and Price Deregulation Cause Business Cycles in Ghana? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Kofi Asravor, Emmanuel Orkoh, Isaac Ankrah Description An account of the resource In the context of volatilities in the international situations in recent times, studies regarding the complexities of oil price fluctuations have focussed on analysing the special fluctuation characteristics of oil prices in different historical perspectives. This study examines the extent to which petroleum price fluctuations under the petroleum price deregulation regime impact on business cycles in Ghana. The study uses the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model with a quarterly data spanning from the first quarter of 2005 to the fourth quarter of 2022. Our empirical results show that price stability impacts positively on economic growth, both in the short and the long run, while foreign direct investment also has a positive effect on economic growth in the short run. Our findings are consistent with theory and empirical studies and contributes immensely to the discussions about price asymmetry and business cycles. Again, offers a nuanced perspective on how policy makers can enact policies that ensures efficient and effective deregulation and price stability.
