Abstract

In most West African countries, the financial sectors are the least developed area. The absence of deep-efficient financial markets put major economic growth constraints. This study aimed to investigate the financial sector performance in twelve selected West African countries. To determine financial sector performance, a panel data semi-log model was employed. Data were collected from the World Bank Open data page from 2004-2013. The results revealed that both variables matched the hypothesis, indicating a positive impact in the financial sector. It indicated that the variables used in this study were major players of the financial sector in the selected countries. This study recommends that because financial stability, globally and within countries, generates jobs and improves productivity, more efforts should be made to ensure an effective and developed financial sector system. It is so because limited and inadequate access to credit will limit small and medium-sized enterprises' contributions to private sector development

Abstract

The over-exploitation of natural resources to increase economic growth causes environmental degradation, and climate change has been a serious research issue. Gross Domestic Green Product (green GDP) is a proxy of Green economic growth. It is an indicator of sustainable economic development that considers aspects of environmental degradation. This study aims to determine the effect of carbon dioxide emissions, foreign direct investment, current account balance, and population on green GDP in five ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Myanmar. This study utilized panel data, a combination between time series and cross-section data. The panel data was examined by using the eViews 11 application. The selected model was the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). This study found that two independent variables: carbon dioxide emissions and the population had a significant positive effect on green GDP. Meanwhile, Foreign Direct Investment and current accounts do not significantly affect green GDP. Thus, the government as a regulator has a role in managing policies related to carbon emissions and population in supporting green economic growth.

The use of the inflation-currency rate, the availability of money, and the BI rate were all internal factors considered in this study. Meanwhile, the external factors used in this study were international gold and oil prices. The Engle-Granger Error Correction Model was used to analyze time series data in this study.

The long-term results of the research variables that could influence the exchange rate, total money supply, world oil prices, and world gold prices were all dependent on the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index.
