Abstract

Objective This study examines the impact of financial liberalisation on domestic savings in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries. Despite reports suggesting unfavourable outcomes in many countries, it addresses the lack of documented evidence regarding the impact of financial liberalisation on savings.Design/Methodology The study analyses data from 16 SADC countries from 1980 to 2019, utilising the panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. The hypothesis tested is that financial liberalisation, as one of the structural reforms, has contributed significantly to the growth of savings rates.Results The findings show that financial liberalisation measures, particularly those related to interest rates and financial depth, substantially positively impact domestic savings in SADC.Research limitations/implications The study only focused on SADC countries. The study concludes that financial liberalisation is crucial for promoting domestic savings. The governments and policymakers in SADC countries are advised to consider implementing interest rate changes and enhancing financial efficiency monitoring to foster long-term improvements in domestic savings.Novelty/Originality The paper provides an original perspective as it incorporates the financial development and the degree to which external financing affects savings in the SADC region. Again, leveraging the most recent data can capture current trends and the effects of recent financial policies on SADC domestic savings. The study employs cutting-edge econometric methods, such as the panel ARDL estimation methods, which enable both short- and long-term analysis and offer new insights that traditional models might overlook.

Abstract

In light of the escalating concerns about environmental sustainability and the profound impact of international trade on environmental outcomes, the study's focal point was to empirically investigate the relationship between trade openness and environmental quality in South Africa from 1994 to 2018. In order to achieve the goal, the research utilized the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bounds method and Granger causality test for analyzing data. The ARDL Bounds approach was chosen for its ability to examine both short-run and long-run relationships, while the Granger causality test provided insights into the direction of causality between the variables. This combination of robust econometric techniques enhances the reliability and depth of the study's findings, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between trade openness and environmental quality in the country. The analysis results revealed a significant and positive relationship between trade openness and carbon emissions in the short and long run. The Granger causality test also indicated a unidirectional causality from trade openness to environmental quality. These implications are paramount for the South African government's policy formulation. In order to tackle the environmental issues that come with open trade, the government must put in place trade agreements that will enhance its ability to address these concerns efficiently. One crucial step is reducing trade barriers on environmental goods, facilitating increased access to green technologies at lower costs. Moreover, the government should prioritize enacting and enforcing strict environmental laws to avoid the "pollution haven hypothesis," which often affects low-income countries.

Abstract

The study seeks to assess the impact of institutional quality on income inequality in SADC countries from 1980 to 2020 using the pooled mean group (PMG) estimation technique. The study considers six dimensions of institutional quality: government effectiveness, the rule of law, control of corruption, quality, voice accountability, and political rights. The study indicates that different institutional quality measures disparate impact income inequality in SADC countries. Thus, institutional quality indicators such as the rule of law, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, voice accountability, and political stability negatively and significantly affect income inequality. Yet, other institutional quality indicators such as political rights, civil liberties, control of corruption, and corruption perception positively and significantly affect income inequality in SADC countries over the long run.   This calls for the SADC governments and policymakers to be cautious about political rights and control corruption when addressing income inequality reduction policies
