Title A name given to the resource Testing for the existence of politico-economic cycles in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, George Compah-Keyeke Description An account of the resource The abuse of incumbency during elections in order to retain power by ruling governments has become a contentious issue in political economics. This study was set to examine the effect elections and other macroeconomic variables on growth in Ghana. Data for the estimation was collected for the period, 1992-2010, during which Ghana has had an uninterrupted democratic elections. The results of the analysis show that political cycles do not exist in Ghana, which lends support to the views of (Ito and Park, 1999; Alesina et al, 1992, 1993; Brender and Drazen, 2005). Nonetheless, pre-election manipulations of some sort is a common phenomenon as its manifestation becomes glare as abuse of incumbency is noticed even though data do not suggest so. The implication is that abuse of incumbency may exist but not to the extent that creates political cycles.

Title A name given to the resource Information asymmetry and self denial in gender participation in commercial banks' credit markets in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Peter Amponsah Description An account of the resource Micro and small women entrepreneurs’ participation in commercial banks’ credit markets remains a huge challenge even after the liberalization of the financial sector. The present study sought to examine factors that influence gender participation in the credit markets of commercial banks. The sample size comprised 678 respondents to questionnaires for the study. At the individual level, the study tested that no significant relationship exists between a borrower’s individual characteristics and credit participation, and that no significant relationship exists between individual’s gender and credit participation. Also, at the firm level, the study tested that no significant relationship occurs between credit market conditions and credit market participation, and that no significant relationship occurs between individual’s firm characteristics and credit market participation. However, the findings reject all these null hypotheses for the alternates. Using the Heckman two-step model, we observed that participation increases for male and the young, entrepreneurs in the commerce sector, those closer to the bank and those who have previously participated in the market. Yet, participation reduces for entrepreneurs with secondary education and those with larger household size. Also, the likelihood to participate is influenced by being a male, having larger assets value and easiness of loan processing. Moreover, the Fairlie decomposition analysis shows a credit participation gap between men and women entrepreneurs that is largely influenced by differences in their individual and firm characteristics. The major implication is that male entrepreneurs have more favorable individual, firm and credit market conditions than female entrepreneurs for credit market participation. Thus, government policies to empower women are desirable.

Title A name given to the resource Willingness to accept capitation payment system under the Ghana National Health Insurance Policy: do income levels matter? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Peter N Amponsah Description An account of the resource This research was set to examine the factors influencing the willingness and the likelihood of Ghanaians to accept the capitation payment system under the National Health Insurance Scheme. Data was collected through the random sampling method in all the ten regions of Ghana. A probit estimation with marginal effects was adopted to examine the factors influencing the willingness and the likelihood while the generalized Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition was used to examine the extent to which individual characteristics influence the acceptance gap between high income and low-income earners. Our results indicated that, at the individual level, high income, being employed, awareness and smaller household size were the significant factors influencing the willingness and the likelihood to accept capitation. We also observed that the acceptance gap between high income and low-income earners was … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Berlin Heidelberg Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&amp;citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:WF5omc3nYNoC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/557bcfd93a3623113d85ca287be5ef7a.pdf f39a43854bb59ca346a24692bc93e414 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 Gender discrimination in commercial banks’ credit markets in ghana: a decomposition and counterfactual analysis Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Peter Nkrumah Amponsah Description An account of the resource Access to formal credit in Ghana has been a major challenge to empowering women and promoting women enterprises even in this era of financial sector liberalization. Gender bias in both the formal and informal financial sectors have created huge credit gaps between men and women entrepreneurs. This study examines factors that influence credit rationing and discrimination against women in the credit markets of commercial banks in Ghana. Data for the study, comprising borrowers’ information as provided in loan application forms, were gathered from the commercial banks’ credit application database. Using the 2-stage least squares instrumental variable regression, we found that individual, firm, and loan characteristics were significant in determining credit rationing. The Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition and counterfactual analysis pointed to a credit gap between men and women … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Adonis & Abbey Publishers Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2018 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&amp;citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:qjMakFHDy7sC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/2f0a757aebb0789de697c6b410c6a072.pdf 404c3c64e9845540df4fea42d382dd27 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 Factors influencing the perception and the willingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine among the working population in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Christopher Lamptey Description An account of the resource Purpose The onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to loss of lives and jobs and other adverse effects on persons, families and businesses. With its frightening tendencies, it was a sigh of relief with the discovery of vaccines to mitigate its disastrous effects. However, participation in the vaccination exercise in Ghana has been slow and unencoraging. This paper sought to identify the factors that influence the perception and willingness of individuals to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Title A name given to the resource Do petroleum price fluctuations under 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 markets 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. Again, we observe that increases in inflation rate and government petroleum revenue negatively affect economic growth both in the short and the long 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.

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.
