“…The theory argues for prioritising key economic sectors for targeted investments to achieve overall growth and stability, especially in developing countries. Saliminezhad and Lisaniler (2018) also support this view, emphasising the efficient allocation of public resources through prioritisation in fiscal budgets.…”

The study aimed to evaluate the devolution of agriculture and its effects on mango marketing by small-scale mango farmers in Makueni County, Kenya. It utilised a descriptive research design and collected data in narrative and numerical formats from mango farmers in the county. The study used a semi-structured questionnaire and interviews; data was collected using a stratified random sampling technique. Quantitative data was analysed using frequencies, percentages, and correlation analysis in the SPSS (V27) package, while qualitative data from interviews was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings hold significant implications for policymakers, farmers, and researchers. Furthermore, the study informs small-scale farmers about the benefits of adopting good agricultural practices to improve the quality of their mangoes. Key indicators of devolution identified in the study include improved marketing guidelines, farm cooperatives, processing of farm produce, infrastructure development, improved bargaining power, provision of farm inputs, funding/soft loans, and training and capacity building. The benefits of devolution for mango farmers encompass increased decision-making authority, subsidies for farm inputs, and overall improvement in their lives. Some of the challenges faced by mango farmers are limited marketing options, restricted credit availability, and low prices for their produce. Based on the findings, there is a significant positive relationship between agricultural devolution and mango marketing. The correlation analysis indicates a positive relationship between devolution and the marketing of mangoes (r = 0.572, p = 0.000). The study concluded that although mango marketing cooperatives helped farmers, the Makueni County government lacked sufficient marketing options for mango producers. This resulted in limited market access, restricted credit availability, and low prices for their produce. The study recommends collaboration between the county government and mango farmers to increase demand and marketing approaches for mangoes.

“…Machining learning approach. Recently, researchers, though mostly in engineering (see Liu et al, 2002;Ceylam and Ozturk, 2004;Yusup et al, 2012) and few in the field of applied economics (see Canyurt et al, 2005Canyurt et al, , 2006Canyurt et al, , 2008Assareh et al, 2010;Amjadi et al, 2010;Yu et al, 2012;Saliminezhad and Lisaniler, 2018) have been carrying out research using machining learning approach. They found that the multilayer perceptron (MLPI outperforms linear regression.…”

The undesirable effect of poor exchange rate policy on economic growth has been firmly established in the literature using various parametric methods of econometric techniques. However, less is known about the prioritization of the exchange rate as a determinant of economic growth using a nonparametric approach. Thus, this study introduced machining learning approach (feature selection, particle swarm optimization-PSO, and genetic algorithm-GA techniques) to evaluate the relative primacy of the exchange rate for sustainable economic growth in Germany, South Africa, and Slovakia using Rodrik model with time series data from 1990 to 2016. The study reveals that GDP per capita is the most crucial variable for economic growth in Germany and South Africa whereas, in Slovakia, the real exchange rate takes precedence over all other determinants of economic growth. That is, exchange rate takes precedence over other factors as a determinant of economic growth in an economy (Slovakia) with the high rate of trade openness while income per capita is the most important determinant of economic growth in economies (Germany and South Africa) with a relatively lower rate of trade openness. This partly supports Rodrik's conclusion. We, therefore, recommend that highly opened economies should focus on viable exchange rate policies, such as undervaluation of currency to enhance sustained economic growth. On the other hand, relatively less open economies should focus on policies that improve income per capita rather than exchange rate policies.

“…This research selected Indonesia as research setting due to the state's unique characteristic in terms of gaps in firm location. A study in economics has previously discovered that the ongoing asymmetry in development had brought about gaps in income level across regions (Saliminezhad & Lisaniler, 2018). In addition to economic indicator consideration, Indonesia was also selected in this firm-location-related research due to its uniqueness in its topological conditions: Indonesia is an archipelagic country, but most firms are located on Java Island, on which the economic affairs in the country are centered despite its small size relative to other islands.…”

This research explored the effect of firm location in Indonesia on corporate dividend policy. The location variable in this research was represented by firm location in Jakarta, which is the capital city of the state, and firm location on Java, where three largest cities in Indonesia are situated. The empirical results of this research indicated that firms that are situated on Java Island had a tendency to have lower payout ratios than their counterparts off the island. Meanwhile, there were no empirical proofs showing that firms in Jakarta had different payout ratios. This depicts that firms that are situated beyond a financial hub have the drive to pay more dividends to their shareholders, signaling the presence of greater information asymmetry for such firms. The result still consistent after considering several robustness tests include, using alternative proxy for dividend policy, exclude crisis period and exclude upper and lower group in research sample.DOI: 10.26905/jkdp.v27i1.9355
