“…The variables could have different integration of orders i.e., I(0), I(1) or mixed (Peasaran and Shin, 1998). Besides, the sample size is relatively small in this study (Ozbay Das, 2020) and Narayan (2006) pointed out that "with the ARDL framework, the OLS estimators of the short-run parameters are consistent and the ARDL based estimators of the long-run coefficients are superconsistent in small sample sizes " (2006, p.400).…”

The study aims to see whether the long-run relation between inequality and import demand exists in Turkey. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegration technique is used in this study to estimate the long-run relationships between real imports, income, relative price, real exports, and inequality for the period 1982-2015. The results revealed that the income elasticity of imports is greater than one as the literature suggests. The sign of the coefficient of relative price and its magnitude is also compatible with the literature, while it is not statistically significant. However, the results further reflect that inequality is positively associated with real imports in Turkey contrary to assumptions of the relation between inequality and imports that is found to be negative for lower income countries in some studies. Short-run coefficients reflect that real income and relative prices are associated with real imports, whereas exports and not surprisingly, inequality variables are not in the shortrun. The coefficient of income parameter is less in magnitude in the short-run but still greater than one. However, the sign of the coefficient of the relative price turns out to be positive in the short-run.

“…Though this seems counter-intuitive to some earlier reports and research findings, [21][22][23][24] our findings could be attributed to a number of factors. As espoused by some scholars, 25,26 fertility is a resultant outcome of an interplay of several factors.…”

Background: There have been some discrepancies between Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) and Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in Ghana over the years which we examined in this study. Methods: We adopted a repeated cross-sectional study design to examine the relationship between Ghana's CPR and TFR using data from 1988 to 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys (GDHS). Results: Our findings show that TFR declined from 6.4 to 4.2 births per woman between 1988 and 2014. Bivariate models fitted revealed that between 1988 and 2014, women using contraceptives had higher prospects of bearing more children than women not using contraceptives. This manifested in 1988 (IRR=1.16, 95% CI=1.11, 1.22) and 2014 (IRR=1.20, 95% CI=1.12, 1.29). The multivariable Poisson regression models also showed the same patterns in all the surveys including the 1988 GDHS (IRR=1.12, 95% CI=1.09,1.19) and 2014 (1RR=1.13,95% CI=1.09,1.17). Contrary to earlier studies reports, and common perceptions held by stakeholders in family planning that there is an inverse relationship between CPR and TFR in Ghana, we did not find any such inverse relationship between CPR and TFR in Ghana during the period under review. Conclusions: Based on our findings we believe, contraception alone does not guarantee low fertility in Ghana, hence we recommend a qualitative study to further investigate the plausible factors behind our results/observations from this current study to inform policy and program decisions.
