“…These can yield net or synergy effects depending on the signs of the direct and interactive effects. In accordance with reliable existing literature on interactive regressions (Tchamyou et al, 2019;Asongu and Nchofoung, 2021), the net effects of resource rents on inclusive human development are computed on the bases of average values of the policy variables. That is CO2, governance and the constituent indicators of the governance variable, notably, control of corruption, voice and accountability, political stability, government effectiveness, rule of law and regulatory quality.…”

Resource rents and inclusive human development in developing countries

This study aims to empirically verify the effects of natural resource rents on inclusive human development in developing countries. The results from the IV Tobit regression show that natural resource rents have a positive direct effect on inclusive human development in developing countries and that this relationship varies by regional groupings, income levels, level of development and export structure. Looking at the transmission mechanisms, when the interactive variables of governance and environmental quality is introduced, the modulating channel through governance exerts a robust negative synergy effect in the sample of developing countries and positive synergy effects for Africa and low-income countries. When the interactive variable of CO2 emissions is introduced for Africa, a negative net effect of natural resource rents on inclusive human development is obtained. This was up to a policy threshold of 25.4412 of CO2 emissions when the negative effect is nullified. For Asia and the Latin America and Caribbean, a positive net effect is obtained. This is up to a CO2 emissions threshold of 29.038 and 3.6752 respectively, when the positive effect is nullified. Besides, the high income and the upper-middle income countries produce a negative net effect of resource rents on inclusive human development through CO2 modulation, with up to positive CO2 emission thresholds of 37.9365 and 23.6257 respectively. Policy implications are highlighted. In summary, contingent on engaged specificities, where conditional effects are negative, negative thresholds for complementary policies have been provided and in scenarios where conditional impacts are positive, actionable positive thresholds have been provided.

“…This improved access to water will not only decrease the time that students spent per day collecting water and will consequently decrease the school exclusion rate and improve the school performance of students. Given the fact that the sign of the interaction variable is different from the sign of the direct effect (no synergy effect), net effects are therefore necessary according to the contemporary literature (Asongu & Nwachukwu, 2017;Asongu. & Nchofoung, 2021).…”

Linking Water Access and Education in the Sustainable Development Goals in Sub-Saharan Africa

Despite the growing literature on water access, little is known about the effect of water access on education, particularly in sub-Saharan African countries. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap by assessing how water access affects education in 23 sub-Saharan African countries over the period 2000-2018. To carry out our investigation, we used the Generalized Moments Methods (GMM). The results show that there is a negative relationship between water access and education. Furthermore, parliament women and government effectiveness play an important role in mitigating the negative impact of water access on education. Finally, the positive association between water access and education in sub-Saharan Africa is conditioned by the achievement of a certain threshold of parliament women and government effectiveness.

“…The Driscoll-Kraay technique is adopted to account for the problem of cross-sectional dependence identified by the Frees and the Pesaran tests in "Appendix 4 and 5" sections, respectively. The Driscoll-Kraay estimator addresses the concern of potential cross-sectional dependence (Saadi 2020;Asongu and Nchofoung 2021). The study also adopts the Newey-West standard error technique to address problems related to the error term.…”

The study assesses the effect of digital infrastructural development on inclusive growth in 44 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2000 to 2020. The study adopts the Driscoll-Kraay strategy to address cross-sectional dependence and the Newey-West standard errors to address errors-related problems. The study adopted the four indicators of digital infrastructures and their component score to determine their effect on inclusive growth which ensures equitable distribution of resources in an economy. The findings of the study reveal that inclusive growth in Sub-Saharan Africa is enhanced by the number of individuals using the internet, the number of fixed broadband subscribers, fixed telephone and mobile cellular subscriptions per 100 adults. The findings further reveal that digital infrastructures enhance the level of inclusive growth in Sub-Saharan African economies irrespective of whether the countries belong to the lower-, middle-and upper-income groups. The study recommends policymakers augment their investments in digital infrastructure and human capital to raise the level of inclusive growth.
