Modelling asymmetric structure in the finance-poverty nexus: empirical insights from an emerging market economy

Do business strategies vary across firms in the banking industry? New perspectives from the bank size–profitability nexus

“…It implies that ROA and BKS skew to the right while EBC (efficiency) skews to the left. This suggests that none of the variables portray an element of perfect symmetry in their data distribution (Olaniyi, Dada, et al, 2022). They all exhibit features of asymmetrical distribution.…”

Does E-Governance Reduce Income Inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa? Evidence From a Dynamic Panel

“…It has been argued that having access to financial services, namely credit facilities could contribute to the improvement of productive capacities of the poor and therefore could contribute to improve income distribution (Olaniyi et al, 2022). Addressing the high cost of borrowing and asymmetric information could contribute to improve income distribution .…”

Financial inclusion and poverty reduction in Nigeria: the role of information and communication technology (ICT)

“…Consequently, a plethora of studies have analyzed the prevalence of poverty in developing economies (see Bolarinwa et al ., 2021; Olaoye et al ., 2022; Álvarez-Gamboa et al ., 2021; Olaniyi et al ., 2022; Olaoye, 2022; Aracil et al ., 2022; Essel-Gaisey and Chiang, 2022; Asongu and Odhiambo, 2020) and argued that the widespread poverty may not be unconnected to the poor financial system and the low level of financial inclusion in developing countries. They note that poverty is an inevitable outcome of unequal opportunities and poor redistribution of resources.…”

“…In recent literature, scholars have affirmed that without financial inclusion, it will be difficult to eradicate poverty and boost shared prosperity in the region (see Neaime and Gaysset, 2018; Li, 2018; Bolarinwa et al ., 2021; Álvarez-Gamboa et al ., 2021; Olaniyi et al ., 2022; Aracil et al ., 2022; Essel-Gaisey and Chiang, 2022; Chaturvedi, 2022). These authors assert that financial inclusion promotes inclusive growth by making financial services, such as credit and other safety nets accessible to those at the bottom of the economic pyramid.…”

“…While several empirical studies (Neaime and Gaysset, 2018; Li, 2018; Bolarinwa et al ., 2021; Álvarez-Gamboa et al ., 2021; Olaniyi et al ., 2022; Aracil et al ., 2022; Essel-Gaisey and Chiang, 2022; Chaturvedi, 2022; Dong et al ., 2022) have examined the link between financial inclusion and/or financial development on poverty reduction, however, financial economics literature has not considered the role of technology in the financial inclusion–poverty nexus in Nigeria. Existing literature on financial inclusion and poverty reduction (see Li, 2018; Bolarinwa et al ., 2021; Álvarez-Gamboa et al ., 2021; Olaniyi et al ., 2022; Aracil et al ., 2022; Essel-Gaisey and Chiang, 2022; Chaturvedi, 2022; Dong et al ., 2022) and the literature on digital economy and poverty reduction (Chao et al ., 2021; Nchake and Shuaibu, 2022; Lechman and Popowska, 2022; Nguyen et al ., 2022; Xu and Zhong, 2022) suggest that the financial inclusion–poverty nexus might be contingent on other factors such as the digital economy.…”
