Description
An account of the resource
Micro, Small and Medium firms’ credit access remains a dilemma though the financial sector has been liberalized. This paper investigates the factors influencing credit rationing and how variations in the characteristics of firms owned by different genders contribute to credit rationing. The study utilizes probit estimation with marginal effects, Fairlie counterfactual and decomposition analysis to analyze both credit rationing and the extent to which the credit rationing gap is influenced by differences in gender endowments and discrimination using 1,430 firms’ owners’ loan applications randomly selected from eight (8) commercial banks. Our results show that borrowers having more years of experience, external market access, proximity to lender, being older and being male are not likely to experience credit rationing. Borrowers in the agricultural sector, with long term loans, who lack formal education, run labor-intensive …

Description
An account of the resource
The importance of institutional quality as a means of influencing economic growth is being given much attention. This paper examines the extent to which institutional quality under the price deregulation policy in Ghana impacts GDP growth. The study employs the Bayesian linear regression and the auto regressive distributed lag (ARDL) models in estimating a quarterly data that spans from the first quarter of 2005 to the fourth quarter of 2022. We observe that an increase in petroleum prices increases GDP growth by 0.3 units in the long run while an increase in inflation reduces GDP growth by 0.6 units in the short run. Again, we observe that in the short run an increase in foreign direct investment increases GDP growth by 3.24 units. The interactions of petroleum prices and institutional quality on the other hand reduces GDP growth in the short run by 0.91 but tend to increase GDP growth by 1.45 which is …

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.

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.

Information asymmetry and self denial in gender participation in commercial banks' credit markets in Ghana
Creator

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.
