“…The empirical results are in accordance with the literature review. Once again, this empirical analysis emphasizes the indirect relationship between corruption and economic development, a relationship that has been widely accepted over the years [4,11,28,30,31,33,40,41]. The impact appears to be higher for the Western Balkan countries, similarly to Mendonça and Fonseca (2012), who argue that improving the CPI will result in a greater positive impact in developing countries as compared to developed countries [32].…”

“…In other words, there is an indirect relationship between corruption and human development. Furthermore, Sarabia, Crecente, del Val, and Giménez (2019), in their analysis of the EU-28 countries for the period 2013-2017, find a high correlation between the HDI and the level of corruption because of the social conflicts that arose among EU citizens as a consequence of the 2008 crisis [41].…”

The Impact of Corruption, Economic Freedom and Urbanization on Economic Development: Western Balkans versus EU-27

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The topic of economic development has been addressed in recent decades from more and more points of view in order to identify the factors with significant impact on this phenomenon. Identifying the factors and measuring their impact on economic development are essential starting points for adopting the necessary public policies. Similar types of research for the Western Balkan countries and comparative analyses between the Western Balkans and the European Union countries are limited in number. Hence, the main purpose of this paper is to empirically test the impact of corruption, economic freedom, and urbanization on the economic development for both the Western Balkan countries and the EU countries for the period 2009–2018 to provide a comparative analysis for these two groups. The corruption perception index, economic freedom index, and urban population growth are chosen as independent variables, whereas the dependent variable of the human development index (HDI) represents economic development. Using the Random Effects model, which falls under the Panel Generalized Least Square method, the empirical analysis suggests that corruption has a negative impact on economic development, while economic freedom and urbanization have a positive impact on the economic development for both groups of countries. However, the impact of corruption is more destructive in the Western Balkans, and they appear to benefit more from economic freedom and urbanization as compared to the EU countries. Whether the impact of the chosen independent variables is restricted to any component of the HDI in particular is left open for further studies in the future, though the results of this paper are highly significant and in accordance with the reviewed literature.

“…The scale of the index is from zero (highest level of corruption) to one hundred points (lowest level of corruption). According to the literature, countries that encounter difficulties in the educational sector often have a small HDI, and CPI tends towards 0 (Sarabia et al, 2020). In Sudan and Chad there are very low HDI values of 2.3 and the latter 3.7 whilst CPI numbers are at 20 and 41 in 2017 ("Our World in Data," n.d.).…”

During a global crisis, leaders around the world need to adapt fast. In these crucial moments, managing people effectively is the most important part, because through communication and collaboration situations can usually be overcome. This paper aims to highlight the two global crises faced by the education system in the 21st century: the global crisis due to the low level of development of some countries and the coronavirus pandemic. The paper summarizes the situation Sub-Saharan Africa regions have faced in the last 20 years, highlighting the need for a system that includes rules on: gender equality, equity, inclusion, and access to education for everybody. Moreover, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic should also be analyzed in order to exemplify the importance of data collection by statistical institutions. The central research illustrates the importance of managing people during a global crisis, focusing on the rules and actions that must be taken into account when the educational system collapses. All of the aforementioned aspects of the paper emphasize the benefits brought by predictive analytics and how it can improve the educational system.

“…The authors of [37] introduced a model for identifying the circumstances driving the growth of populism politics in European democracies by looking at the links between the HDI and the Corruption Perception Index (CPI). The findings of the study provided fresh comprehension of this phenomenon, which has the potential of helping to identify the soft spots in European democracies that populist parties aim to exploit.…”

Relation between Globe Latitude and the Quality of Life: Insights for Public Policy Management

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Life quality and its determinants represent a topic which is essential to all civilizations, past and present. This paper employs common methods for inspecting factors of correlation with the aim of assessing the influence of geographical location on life quality and happiness. After setting a stable theoretical cornerstone, the article works with the measures reported by the Human Development Index (HDI) and the World Happiness Score (WHS). The work finds and proves ties between the globe latitude of one’s dwelling and their reported life quality measures, with the main conclusion being that the quality of life measured by the HDI and WHS is spread around the globe asymmetrically regarding latitude. Following the results of the research, possible reasons such as enhanced strategic thinking and an emphasis on sounder plans for living embedded in public policy are discussed. Recommendations point toward the possibility of the global north issuing aid to the global south, not in the form of financial capital, but in the form of a knowledge transfer through technology-enabled learning as a means for uplifting global well-being.
