“…In the same line, Shah (2023) found that governance quality positively and significantly affect poverty reduction in a panel of six SAARC countries between 2002 and 2019. Similarly, Jindra and Vaz (2019) used a multilevel Probit model to investigate the nexus between governance quality and poverty reduction in 71 countries from 2009-2014.…”

Good governance is paramount for the government of each country to reduce poverty and achieve their growth objectives. However, due to corruption, political instability, and government ineffectivesness, the quality of governance indicators has fail in most countries expecially those in the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC). Thus, the objective of this study was to examine the effect of good governance on poverty reduction in the CEMAC sub-region using World Bank data from 1996 to 2021. Due to multicollinearity and parsimonious model, four governance indicators were examine in the study; voice and accountability (vacc), government effectiveness, corruption, and political stability while household consumption expenditure (HCE) was use as a measure of poverty allevation. The study face the problem of cross-sectional dependence and heteroscedasticity. Hence, it employs the fixed effect model with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors regression. The results indicate that vacc and government effectiveness have a positive and significant impact on poverty reduction while corruption and political stability have a negative effect. This indicates that good governance is vital in reducing poverty and boosting the livelihood of the population in CEMAC sub region. The study recommends that CEMAC member countries should step up the quality of their governance indicators such as eradication of corruption, effectiveness in governance, and adopts results based financing.

PurposeContemporary changes have occurred in country-level policies and tourists’ intentions in recent years. The role of maintaining a country’s image is trendy in crisis control but has not yet been discussed in domestic tourism research. Extending the Stimulus Organism Response model, this study aims to focus on “trustable WOM creation” in China. In addition, it aimed to discover how behavioral changes encourage domestic tourism intention (DTI).Design/methodology/approachThis study explored the mediating role of DTI and the moderating role of maintenance of country image (MCI) for trustable word of mouth (WOM) creation. Using the snowball sampling technique, a structural equation modeling analysis (Smart PLS-4) was employed to analyze the data of 487 Chinese tourists.FindingsFindings confirm that behavioral changes positively encourage domestic tourism and discourage international tourism, with significant negative moderation by MCI. MCI has an insignificant positive moderating effect between government-media trust and DTI. Furthermore, DTI positively and directly affects the creation of trustable WOM. In addition, it had a 20% mediation effect (VAF%) between behavioral changes and WOM creation, higher than the rejected mediation effect (12%), in the causal relationship between government-media trust and WOM creation.Practical implicationsWOM creation varies from different behavioral changes, but findings suggest that government-media trust and DTI influenced it significantly. Based on the study findings, the government and media can enhance domestic tourism by maintaining the country’s image. These findings both encourage and control the recovery of tourism.Originality/valueThis study provides a theoretical explanation for tourists' behavioral changes during the pandemic. Moreover, it shows that despite avoiding international tourism due to behavioral changes and government-media trust, MCI moderation with the mediation effect of DTI can create trustable WOM. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to theoretically promote tourism through DTI-induced psychology as a mediator and an organism affect prevailing among Chinese tourists.

This research aims to study the role of institutions in promoting employment and economic growth for a sample of eight Balkan countries over the period 2000–2022. Based on the cointegration technique by Pedroni (2004), fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and the dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) method by Kao and Chiang (2001) determined the potential long-run relationship between variables. The results suggest the existence of a positive and significant relationship between institutions and economic growth. We also found that education supported growth, and unemployment has restricted growth. The conclusion is that further improving institutional quality and education is necessary for supporting growth and employment.
