“…findings show a strong connotation between life engagement and GDP. Furthermore, findings illustrate the characteristic significance of measuring life engagement comparative to alternate metrics for associated theories (Hill et al, 2019), however, this paper does not cover "life engagement" as a theme of economic fluctuations. Furthermore, remittances is considered a factor affecting economic fluctuations according to Bahadir, Chatterjee and Lebesmuehlbacher (2018) who have analyzed the functional imbibition of transmittals at the macroeconomic point, comparing two potential influences on economic movement, reliant on whether these accumulate to end earnings employees or credit for self-conscious businesspersons.…”

Purpose: the purpose of this study is to provide a better understanding of the rate of accounting frauds (misappropriation of assets, fraudulent financial reporting), and how they occur in different business cycles (economic fluctuations). Further, it aims at exploring the relationship between factors influencing the economic fluctuations and the level of accounting frauds. Design/methodology approach: a qualitative research design used semi-structured interviews with a group of internal controllers and external auditors from the big four auditing companies in addition to other Leading and certified audit offices in UAE in order to identify how the factors influencing the GDP fluctuations could affect the degree of accounting frauds.Findings: GDP components that influence economic fluctuations associate with the accounting frauds rate, especially fraudulent financial reporting. Economic factors including the GDP, unemployment and inflation are very important in the steadiness of an economy. The probable drop of GDP, or raise in unemployment level, high rates of inflation are positively influence the occurrences of accounting frauds.Research limitation/implications: There are many ECONOMIC roots of business cycles and economic fluctuations such as variations in trading strategy, warfare, inflation caused by governmental finance or fears. But these represent non-economic data that is hard to be rationalized by economic theory. Typical macroeconomic theory inclines to illuminate business cycles by a number of mistake and emphasis on modifying this mistake either by dynamic strategy or by supporting a separate strategy (Raudino, 2016). Thus, it is very hard to capture all the factors influencing the economic fluctuations. However, most of the studies in the literature considers the GDP as the most important factors, in addition to inflation and unemployment. Practical implication: This study contributes to both economic and accounting research by proving findings from an investigation of the elements modifying the economical fluctuation and how these fluctuations might impact the rate of accounting Frauds (AF), with implications for economists and financiers, shareholders, stakeholders, stockholders and external inspectors of auditing companies an additional visions about the audit risk in PBOs at altered stages of GDP. Originality/value: This study contributes to both economic and accounting research by exploratory research into the GDP fluctuation, inflation, and unemployment and accounting frauds rate.

“…Greater GDP is associated with country-level health indicators, including reductions in child and all-cause mortality rates ( Ward and Viner, 2017 ), as well as increases in the amount and variety of opportunities for individuals to attain their personal goals and pursue their interests ( Clark and Senik, 2011 ). Importantly, GDP is positively associated with life engagement, one of the indicators of subjective well-being ( Hill et al, 2019 ). On the one hand, because lower GDP often portends several life difficulties (e.g., health, quality of life of individuals from low-GDP countries may have more stressful relationships—an association often seen at the individual level with socioeconomic status; Veenstra, 2000 ).…”

“…The GINI index of income inequality measures a nation’s unequal distribution of wealth among its citizens ( Central Intelligence Agency, 2011 ). Overall, quality of life is higher in countries with lower levels of inequality: people are happier, more satisfied, and report greater purpose in life ( Oishi et al, 2011 ; Pickett and Wilkinson, 2015 ; Cheung, 2018 ; Hill et al, 2019 ). Income inequality is associated with increased all-cause and communicable disease mortality ( Ward and Viner, 2017 ).…”

Prioritizing friendship is associated with many health and well-being benefits. However, to date, there have been relatively few studies that have examined cultural moderators of the link between friendship and important outcomes. In other words, is prioritizing friendships more beneficial in some contexts than others? In the current study, we examined how culture- and country-level factors were associated with the importance people place on friendships and the benefits derived from this importance. The sample comprised of 323,200 participants (M = 40.79 years, SD = 16.09 years) from 99 countries from the World Values Survey. Multilevel analyses revealed that women, people with higher levels of education, and people living in countries that are more economically equal and high in indulgence placed more value on friendships. Prioritizing friendships in life was associated with better health and well-being, but these associations depended on many cultural factors. The findings are discussed in the context of the ways in which friendships can enrich health and well-being across different settings.

“…One of the main aspects of the future healthy economy of the state is the support families so that there is no obstacle to having more children so that the gradual growth of the GDP is maintained and the population does not age and support the natality of the population. This aspect may take the form of keeping the population in tax benefits, parental bonuses, education and sports contributions and much more or even have a focus on population healthcare (Hill et al, 2019).…”
