“…According to the structure of matrix values (Table 2), hypothesis considering the relationship between religion and income is not confirmed. Sequeira, Viegas, and Ferreira-Lopes (2017), using retrospective data on church attendance rates for different countries between 1925 and 1990, also reveal that the effect of participation in religious activities on income per capita is mostly non-significant.…”

“…1 Given the inconsistency in existing research, the current study attempts to examine the claim that religion can foster development of new (financial) markets and services, and increase the importance of financial intermediaries, especially in low-and middle-income countries. That the effect of participation in religious services on income levels was not significant (Sequeira et al, 2017) may be explained by the decreasing effect of religion on financial development in high-income countries. Barro and McCleary (2003) identified a negative effect of church attendance and a positive effect of belief in hell and heaven on economic growth.…”

Studies on the determinants of financial development have been silent on the role of religion. Growing evidence in the literature about how financial development positively affects economic growth and development highlights a greater interest in understanding the determinants of financial development. Despite the growing interest in this direction, less focus has been given to the role of religion in financial development. Using data from the World Values Survey, this study explores the relationship between finance and religion. In this study, finance is modelled through different measures of financial development and religion is represented by the intensity of religiosity. Results showed that on average there is a significant negative relationship. Subsequent analysis showed that as countries become financially developed, this negative relationship becomes insignificant. The quantile regression technique was employed to capture the nature of the relationship at different levels. The analysis showed that as countries become financially developed, the negative relationship becomes insignificant to financial development. These results account for some of the differences in the level of financial development between developed and developing countries where the latter tend to be more religious than the former.

In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) diets are largely based on cereal or root staple crops. Together with socio-cultural change, economic and demographic growth could boost the demand for meat, with significant environmental repercussions. We model meat consumption pathways to 2050 for SSA based on several scenarios calibrated on historical demand drivers. To assess the consequent environmental impact, we adopt an environmentally-extended inputoutput (EEIO) framework and apply it on the EXIOBASE 3.3 hybrid tables. We find that, depending on the interplay of resources efficiency and demand growth, by 2050 global greenhouse gases emissions could grow by 1.4 [0.9-1.9] Gt CO2e/yr (~175% of current regional agriculture-related emissions), cropping and grazing-related land may cover additional 15 [12.5-21] • 10 6 km 2 (one quarter of today's global agricultural land), blue water consumption could rise by 36 [29-47] Gm3 /yr (nearly doubling the current regional agricultural consumption), the eutrophication potential could grow by 7.6 [4.9-9.5] t PO4e/yr and additional 0.9 [0.5-1.4] EJ/yr of fossil fuels and 49 [32-73] TWh/yr of electricity may be consumed. These results suggest that-in the absence of drastic resource efficiency or technological improvements-meat demand in SSA is bound to become a major sustainability challenge. We show that a partial substitution of the protein intake with plantbased alternatives carries significant potential for mitigating these impacts. The policies affecting farming practices and dietary choices will thus have a significant impact on regional and global environmental flows.
