“…The abilities of the farmer to pay back the borrowed money is the most crucial factor determining access to farm credit. The credit worthiness of farmers depends on their worth measured as value of assets legally owned by the farmer, payment history, savings history, social capital and other socioeconomic factors ( Chandio et al., 2020 ; Asante-Addo et al, 2017 ; Abdul-Jalil, 2015 ). Income is normally used as proxy for worth in econometric models.…”

Access to agricultural services promotes agricultural production and livelihoods of smallholders in most developing countries. This study explores the factors affecting smallholders' access to agricultural services in northern Ghana. The study relied on survey data for the analysis. We estimated a multivariate probit model to assess the factors influencing access to agricultural services and a generalized Poisson regression model to evaluate the factors affecting the degree of access to these services. The results indicated that farmers had varying degree of access to different agricultural services. The most accessed service was agricultural extension (63% access) while the least was farm credit (40% access). Access to services and the degree of access (number of services accessed) were both influenced by household size, farming experience, household income, farmer group membership, and geographical location. In addition, the number of services accessed by farmers was influenced by participation in off-farm work. The paper proposed measures to enhance smallholders' access to agricultural services to promote agricultural production, food security and rural livelihoods.

“…The constructed index is compensation-proof due to the non-linear aggregation theorem and is thus named for the non-compensatory index (Tyagi et al 2020;Çelik et al 2018). In comparison, the non-compensatory index includes a variety of attractive features.…”

In light of the rapidly growing industrialization in BRICS and G7 regions, thorough energy, financials, and environmental analyses are essential for sustainable financial development in these countries. In this context, this work analyzes the relationship between energy, financial, and environmental sustainability and the regions’ social performance. Data from 2000 to 2017 is analyzed through a data envelopment analysis (DEA) like a composite index. Results show China and Brazil’s better performance in the region, with a sustainability score of 0.96, India was the third, followed by South Africa and Russia. Japan, the UK, and the USA were the most energy-efficient countries for five consecutive years. A 0.18%, 0.27%, 0.22%, 0.09%, 0.31%, and 0.32% reduction in carbon emission is observed with a 1% increase in R&D costs by Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the USA, respectively. This work contributes to the existing literature regarding an eco-friendly sustainable policy design for the G7 countries based on multiple indicators.

“…The global economy suffered a significant decline during these government-imposed lockdowns and continues to suffer a great deal, because of the closure of various businesses. Many disputed the labour, whereas industries such as tourism, education, and transport completely shut down (Chandio et al, 2020;Quigley et al, 2020). We studied the relevant literature from two viewpoints, focusing on recent publications on the financial and socioeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic: (1) transmission instability during the COVID-19 crisis and (2) the association of COVID-19 indicators with stock market performance and economic uncertainty.…”

This study described an empirical link between COVID-19 fear and stock market volatility. Studying COVID-19 fear with stock market volatility is crucial for planning adequate portfolio diversification in international financial markets. The study used AR (1) -GARCH (1,1) to measure stock market volatility associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings suggest that COVID-19 fear is the ultimate cause driving public attention and stock market volatility. The results demonstrate that stock market performance and GDP growth decreased significantly through average increases during the pandemic. Further, with a 1% increase in COVID-19 cases, the stock return and GDP decreased by 0.8%, 0.56%, respectively. However, GDP growth demonstrated a slight movement with stock exchange. Moreover, public attention to the attitude of buying or selling was highly dependent on the COVID-19 pandemic reported cases index, death index, and global fear index. Consequently, investment in the gold market, rather than in the stock market, is recommended. The study also suggests policy implications for key stakeholders.
