“…Climate change also weighs on economic growth by depressing productivity, destroying housing and physical infrastructure, and dampening hydroelectric production. Other effects of climate change on the economy as enunciated by, Garcia-Verdu et al (2019) include reduced productivity, slow investment and damage to capital, the environment, and biodiversity hurt manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade. As stated by, Dell et al (2012) climate change in the form of both higher and lower levels of temperature has substantially reduced the level and rate of economic growth regardless of the category of the country, of which the poorest countries are severely affected than their richest counterparts.…”

This study investigates global uncertainty, climate change and the unemployment-economic growth relationship in Nigeria. The study utilised the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) estimation technique using quarterly data, 1990–2020. Findings indicate that global uncertainty and unemployment impact negatively economic growth both in the short run and long run. Also, climatic change variables employed in this study such as temperature and level of rainfall have a negative impact on economic growth both in the long-run and short-run. The moderating effects of global uncertainty and climatic variables on the unemployment-economic growth relationship were positive, though insignificant. The policy implication underlying the finding is that tackling economic uncertainty and climate change is necessary for solving unemployment problem and the attainment of sustainable growth in Nigeria.

Welfare and sectoral productivity shifts in a small open economy with imported agricultural inputs: The case of Sub-Saharan Africa

2022

This paper studies the impact of sectoral productivity growth on welfare in Sub-Saharan Africa. Using the analytical framework of a DSGE model, the main finding is that, for the estimated values of structural parameters, the allocation of scarce resources to the tradable agricultural sector for boosting productivity leads to a greater increase in overall welfare than would be the case if they were allocated to the non-traded goods sector.

There is cross country difference about the relationship between economic growth and inflation. Although the issue is the most researched topic, limited studies were undertaken at sectoral level, such as the relationship between inflation and agriculture sector growth. Therefore, this study examines the effect of inflation on agriculture sector growth of Ethiopia from 1980-2018 using Autoregressive Distributed Lag model. Inflation has negative and significant long-run relation with agriculture sector growth suggesting that inflation is harmful to agriculture sector growth than stimulating it. Other regressors such as total factors productivity, arable land and labour force growth have positive and significant long-run relationship with agriculture growth. In the short run, the growth of agriculture sector has positive and significant relationship with its lagged value, capital, labour force, factors productivity, inflation and exchange rate. Thus, to increase the growth of agriculture sector, government should moderate inflation using prudent monetary and fiscal policy. It should also monitor the efficacy and suitability of agriculture investment to countries context. As land is fixed input, intensive agriculture and productivity enhancing technologies should be applied. Increasing labour skill through training could also increase agriculture output.
