This study investigated the perception of Nigerians towards the Treasury Single Account (TSA). A sample of one hundred and ninety respondents, drawn from management staff of MDAs, in the Federal and State Services as well as Deposit Money Banks in Calabar Cross River State, was studied to gauge their perception on the Treasury Single Account (TSA) being implemented by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The data were analyzed using the Chi-Square statistical technique. The results reveal a significant acceptance of the TSA policy itself but a non-significant positive perception of its operation. It argues that TSA, as operated presently, has negatively affected the socio-economic life of the people and the operation of Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA) as a result of delays experienced in releases due to bureaucratic bottle-necks. The paper recommends, among others, that Government should ensure timely release of operational funds to encourage MDAs to support the TSA Policy. This can be achieved through the use of treasury bills (T-bills) or other short-term borrowing instruments aimed at offsetting the impact of TSA implementation on government cash flows.

This paper analyzes the relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth, as well as the determinants of this relationship, in the countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) over the period from 1990 to 2018. The results obtained from the Autoregressive Lagged Model (ARDL) show that, in the long run, economic growth, the degree of international openness, and gross fixed capital formation explain electricity consumption. In the short run, no variable affects this consumption. Furthermore, in the country-by-country model, the results indicate differentiated effects. They show, in the long and short term, the absence of the effects of economic growth on electrical energy consumption.

Pour ce faire, une enquête de terrain a été réalisée en 2021 auprès de 205 étudiants de Licence III et de Master I et II. L'analyse statistique et la modélisation logistique des données recueillies valident l'hypothèse de l'effet de la perception de certains domaines d'appréciation sur la réussite. L'ampleur de l'échec, révélée par l'enquête, plaide en faveur des adaptations au niveau organisationnel du fonctionnement de l'établissement et du suivi pédagogique des étudiants. L'accompagnement pédagogique des étudiants par leurs pairs et les chefs de parcours, la formation pédagogique des enseignants, la modernisation de l'équipement et des outils pédagogiques, ainsi que des aides étudiantes socialement différenciées seraient des actions autorisées par les résultats de cette étude qui vise, au final, la perception positive exprimée par des étudiants. ABSTRACT. This article analyzes the impact of the perception of students from the Faculty of Economics of Marien Ngouabi University, in terms of institutional practices, on the quality of their course in License I and II. To do this, a field survey was carried out in 2021 among 205 License III and Master I and II students. The statistical analysis and logistic modeling of the collected data validated the hypothesis that certain areas of interest affect a student's success. Failure, it was revealed by the survey, is due to adaptations at the organizational level of the establishment's operation and due to the pedagogical follow-up of the students. The pedagogical support of students by their peers and course leaders, the pedagogical training of teachers, the modernization of equipment and teaching tools, as well as socially differentiated student aids are all actions authorized by the results of this study, which is aimed at championing positive perceptions expressed by students.

This article aims to determine the factors that explain the attractiveness of foreign direct investment (FDI) at the level of the six countries of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), over the period 1985-2019. Using the fixed effects panel model, the results of this research indicate that gross domestic product per capita, human capital, domestic credit provided to the private sector by banks and gross national expenditure explain the attractiveness of FDI. Moreover, by using the ordinary least squares (OLS) model to analyze the determinants of the attractiveness of FDI by country, the econometric results show differentiated effects.

his article aims to analyze the effects of foreign direct investment (IDE) on total factor productivity (PTF) in the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC). Using annual data for the period 1990-2020, the methodology was based on the Generalized Moments Method (MMG). The results of this research indicate that three variables positively influence total factor production. These are total factor productivity lagged one period, foreign direct investment and human capital. On the other hand, trade openness, labor force, gross fixed capital formation and political stability negatively explain total factor production. This suggests a series of policy recommendations.
