Discriminant analysis of demand-side roadblocks to financial inclusion in Northern Ghana
Northern Ghana has been described as the most poverty-stricken spot in Ghana. Given the link between financial inclusion and poverty reduction, this paper aims at estimating a discriminant function model to analyse demand-side roadblocks to financial…
Enhancing the success of Ghanaian public road construction projects
The objective of this research paper is to determine the critical success factors (CSFs) influencing the success of public road construction projects from the perspective of a developing nation. A self-administered questionnaire was used to gather…
Modeling and Forecasting of Ghana’s Inflation Volatility
In this paper, we assessed volatility of Ghana’s inflation rates for 2000 to 2018 using the auto-regressive conditionally heteroskedasticity (ARCH), generalized ARCH (GARCH), and the exponential GARCH (EGARCH) models. The inflation data were obtained…
Success factors of pre-construction stages of Ghanaian public road construction project life cycle
The research article aims to determine the critical success factors (CSFs) of the pre-construction stages of the public road construction project life cycle in Ghana. Data on 26 CSFs and 16 success criteria were collected from key stakeholders across…
Modeling Cholera Epidemiology Using Stochastic Differential Equations
In this study, we extend Codeço’s classical SI‐B epidemic and endemic model from a deterministic framework into a stochastic framework. Then, we formulated it as a stochastic differential equation for the number of infectious individuals I(t) under…
Understanding water quality dynamics in aquaculture ponds in Sunyani, Ghana: Insights from Partial Least Squares (PLS)-Path Modeling
Oreochromis niloticus, and African catfish Clarias gariepinus, were selected for the study. Eleven fish ponds with stock ranging between 7-21 days were randomly selected and sampled at monthly intervals for five months, with the aim of capturing…
