“…Increasing the number of Hospitals and Health Centers and providing good service to the community is one of the efforts that can be made to achieve better Life Expectancy. The results of this study also consistent with previous research which says that life expectancy, expected school year, labor participation rate, and GDP per capita have a statistically significant impact on the level of development (Sattar et al, 2022). Countries that have a high HDI can concentrate on determining variables, especially education to achieve good HDI standards in a country.…”

This article aims to analyze the influence of GRDP, Life Expectancy, Average Length of School and Number of Poor Population in the 2018-2022 period on the Human Development Index (HDI) of Padang City, West Sumatra Province. The type of data used comes from the Padang City Central Statistics Agency (BPS), West Sumatra Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and Bank Indonesia (BI). While research supporting data also comes from various national and international journals as well as references related to research topics. Data analysis is the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method, namely multiple regression analysis. The results of the study show that GRDP, life expectancy and average length of schooling are indicators that have a positive and significant impact on the Human Development Index in Padang City, West Sumatra Province. Meanwhile, the indicator for the Number of Poor Population is an indicator that has a negative and significant effect on the Human Development Index. The indicator that has the most dominant effect is the average length of schooling with a standardized coefficient beta of 1.127.

“…China has now become Africa's primary trading partner, with the value of total trade reaching a remarkable 282 billion USD in 2022, which was four times larger than that of the US–Africa trade (Bociaga, 2023). China has also taken the lead in FDI in Africa, which is almost double the level of US FDI (Hu et al, 2021; Sattar et al, 2022). When China's entry into WTO expanded its trade with the African countries, participation in the BRI has further been enhancing the degree of goods market integration between the African BRI countries and China.…”

The Chinese Government has promulgated the “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) to increase trade flows and integrate goods markets between China and BRI countries. The validity of purchasing power parity (PPP) implies well‐integrated goods markets, a precondition for further economic convergence, and the next stage of economic integration in factor, service, and financial markets. Our study aims to examine the validity of the PPP and the extent of goods market integration between China and selected BRI countries in Africa. Since the functional form of the cointegrating relationship may not be exact or linear, we adopt the nonparametric rank tests for analysis without prior knowledge and specification of the functional form. We also address the rank problems that occur in multivariate rank tests. Our empirical results provide strong evidence of an unrestricted PPP relationship with reasonably strong evidence of nonlinearity in the data. We also find that some African BRI countries have experienced goods market integration with China during the second‐half period only. This indicates that the introduction of the BRI in 2013 and China's active involvement in African economic development through BRI projects are leading to enhanced goods market integration between China and Africa. The results indicate favorable prospects of closer economic cooperation in the factor, service, and financial markets to build a free trade area or common markets with BRI countries in Africa.

This study investigates the impact of financial development (FD) and green investments (GIs) on environmental pollution in Eastern and Southern African countries from 1990 to 2020. The research not only investigates the direct impacts of FD and green finance on environmental pollution but also examines the moderating role of institutional quality (IQ) and possible nonlinear effects of FD and green finance. Our analysis from the Panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) long‐run PMG reveals a negative association between FD, green investment, and environmental pollution, indicating that a well‐developed financial sector supports sustainable initiatives, leading to improved environmental outcomes. IQ moderates this relationship, with strong governance enhancing the positive effects of FD and green finance on environmental preservation. Interestingly, the study identifies nonlinear impacts, suggesting that beyond a certain threshold, the contributions of FD and GIs to environmental preservation may diminish. Recognizing these nonlinearities and the role of IQ can inform more targeted policies for maximizing efforts toward environmental conservation in African economies.
