“…However, a 1% increase in renewable electricity consumption in the short run will insignificantly result in economic growth declining by 0.47%, ceteris paribus. These results are consistent with the studies of Stungwa et al (2022), Ha and Ngoc (2021) and Shahbaz (2015). These results entail that renewable electricity consumption has not been able to boost economic growth in the short run in both countries.…”

“…A 1% increase in renewable electricity consumption in the long run in South Africa significantly result in economic growth declining by 0.63%, ceteris paribus. These results are inconsistent with the study of Khobai and Le Roux (2017) and Stungwa et al (2022).

“…The empirical model estimation utilised in the study was adopted from the studies of Khobai and Le Roux (2017), Stungwa et al (2022), Hlongwane and Daw (2021a) and Hlongwane and Daw (2021b). The study modifies this model to suit the study's main objective.…”

“…The researchers recommend that the South African government should make appropriate effort to select energy policies that do not negatively affect economic growth. Stungwa et al (2022) investigated the relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth in South Africa for the period from 1971 to 2014. The study utilised borrowed time series data on an ARDL model to reveal short and long run relationships between the variables.…”

“…The studies that focused on energy consumption and economic growth in South Africa and Zimbabwe were done by Khobai and Le Roux (2017), Stungwa et al (2022), Hlongwane and Daw (2021a), Ouedraogo (2017), Shahbaz et al (2017), Bekun et al, (2019) and Khobai (2018). However, some of the studies did not focus specifically on renewable electricity consumption but they focused on electricity consumption in general.…”

The study conducts a comparative analysis of the relationship between renewable electricity consumption and economic growth in South Africa and Zimbabwe. The study utilises time series data spanning from 1990 to 2019 collected from the World Bank and International Energy Agency (IEA). The study performed the Dickey-Fuller Generalised Least Squares and Phillips-Perron unit root test, ARDL Bounds test for cointegration and optimal lags models. Empirical results revealed that in the short run renewable electricity consumption has a negative impact on economic growth in both countries. In the long run, however, in South Africa it has a negative statistically significant effect in South Africa and a positive statistically insignificant effect in Zimbabwe on economic growth. The study recommends the revision of renewable electricity policies in both countries to boost economic growth significantly in both countries.

Background Perpetual food insecurity has long-term health and development effects on populations. The global pandemic created sub-populations that were newly food insecure, but there exists sub-populations were food insecure, and COVID-19 held that situation. This study seeks to identify the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the perpetually food insecure in South Africa in order to obtain specific evidence of populations to be prioritised in the post-pandemic era. Methods Secondary data from the South African National Income Dynamics CRAM Survey for rounds (Waves) 1 and 5 are analysed. The study population are those respondents who reported a household member not having enough food to eat in the early stages of the pandemic (1st round) and remained without sufficient food a year later (5th round). The study controls for the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the population but also changes to employment status, social grant access and willingness to be vaccinated. Descriptive and analytical statistical tests are used. Results A total of 26.15% of respondents were food insecure at the start of the pandemic. Of these, 41.09% remained food insecure a year later. The drivers of perpetual food insecurity during the pandemic include unemployment (OR = 2.09; CI 1.335293–3.265678), still being unemployed (OR = 1.86; CI 1.308032–2.636252), seven or more (≥ 7) household members (OR = 1.24; CI 1.1611329–1.610126), those with only a primary education (OR = 1.11; CI 1.5051066–2.434695), participants between the ages of 45 and 64 years old (ORs = 1.03 and 1.20; CIs 1.0171956–1.0171956 and 1.1733304–2.144875, respectively) and women (OR = 1.09; CI 1.0745444–1.406035). Conclusions South Africa needs to address socioeconomic challenges and inequalities to assist the perpetually food insecure and to ensure that, should there be a pandemic resurgence, or a new pandemic, individuals and households in the country are in a better financial situation and appropriately supported to avoid food insecurity at all costs.

Nüfus artışı bir ülke ekonomisi üzerinde önemli etkiye sahiptir. Nüfus artışı ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkinin önemi hem büyüme teorisyenlerince hem de kalkınma iktisatçıları tarafından kabul edilmektedir. Ancak nüfus ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiye yönelik literatürde tam bir görüş birliği sağlanamamıştır. Bu konuda üç farklı görüş bulunmaktadır. Bazı araştırmacılar nüfusun ekonomik büyüme üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğunu savunurken diğerleri etkinin olumsuz olduğunu iddia etmektedir. Bazı çalışmalarda ise iki değişken arasında ilişki bulunamamıştır. Bu makalede, nüfus ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki uzun ve kısa dönemli ilişki yaşam beklentisi, enflasyon ve sermaye oluşumu değişkenleri de dahil ederek Türkiye örneğinden hareketle 1968-2019 dönemine ait yıllık veriler kullanılarak ARDL sınır testi analizi ile incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre, Türkiye’de nüfus kısa dönemde ekonomik büyümeyi negatif etkilerken uzun dönemde pozitif etkilemektedir. Yaşam beklentisi ve sermaye oluşumu büyümeyi kısa ve uzun dönemde pozitif etkilerken enflasyon değişkeni uzun dönemde negatif etkiye sahiptir.
