International Journal of Business, Economics and Social Development (IJBESD) is published 4 (four) times a year and is the flagship journal of the Research Collaboration Community (RCC). It is the aim of IJBESD to present papers which cover the theory, practice, history or methodology of Business, Economics and Social Development. However, since Business, Economics and Social Development are primarily an applied science, it is a major objective of the journal to attract and publish accounts of good, practical case studies. Consequently, papers illustrating applications of Business, Economics and Social Development to real problems are especially welcome.

Abstract

The challenges that small countries in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) face towards the successful implementation of the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) have not been adequately empirically tested to establish if there is scope for mutually beneficial trade among the countries as advocated by AfCFTA’s intra-regional trade promotion. This study employs the gravity model of trade theory. The main objective of this paper is to empirically test if there are mutual gains from intra-regional trade for small countries in the SADC region that face several political, legal, economic, and institutional challenges toward the successful implementation of AfCFTA. This study utilised a modified structural gravity model estimated using the Poisson Pseudo-Maximum-Likelihood (PPML) approach. A balanced panel data from a set of select nine SADC countries over the period 2010-2022 is used. The study finds that distance negatively and significantly affects bilateral trade. In addition, overlapping Regional Economic Community (REC) membership positively influences bilateral trade for small landlocked SADC countries and island nations that have a high trade presence in the region. However, after considering agricultural-dependent nations, overlapping REC membership has a trade-reducing impact. Furthermore, poor institutional quality at the destination country was found to reduce bilateral trade negatively and significantly which eventually increased the overall trade costs. The study recommends AfCFTA members diversify their exports and add value to their agriculture products to adequately benefit from the agreement.

Abstract

Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) make significant contribution to economic growth in both developed and developing economies. In Botswana, the government has made extensive investment in the SMME sector, but the expected returns are compromised by poor performance and business failure among SMMEs. This problem is amplified during crises as they bring various challenges to the sector. This study used the recent COVID-19 pandemic as a proxy to identify and evaluate the nature and extent of challenges faced by SMMEs in Botswana during crisis times. A mixed methods approach was employed to collect data from 250 SMMEs in Gaborone, Francistown and surrounding areas. SPSS and manual coding and thematic analysis were used to analyse the data. It was found that SMMEs in Botswana encountered several challenges the most important being financial (75.4%), technological (74.4%), and human resource (68.8%) challenges. Specifically, these were drop in sales/business (89.2%), need for accelerated digitisation (45.8%), and capacity to ensure the well-being of employees (58.4%). Additionally, there were challenges with accessing and utilising government programmes despite a high level of awareness among SMMEs. Some challenges showed significant association with SMME industry sectors implying their potential importance in some sectors compared to others. The dominance of financial, technological, and human resource challenges may underscore the central role they play in SMME operations. It is not enough for governments to avail resources, programmes, policies and frameworks in support of SMMEs. More needs to be done to promote their access, uptake, and utilisation.

Abstract

Bamboo resource has numerous socioeconomic, ecological and cultural benefits. In Ethiopia, local farmers rely on bamboo as an alternative livelihood option. It provides a considerable share for the various household incomes. The main purpose of this study was to assess challenges and the contribution of bamboo for income of the households in Gurage Zone, across central Ethiopia. A sample of 216 households, were selected by using multistage sampling procedure. Data was collected through household survey, focus group discussion and review of reports. Descriptive, frequency and multiple linear regression model methods were used to estimate the contribution of bamboo and to identify determinants bamboo production. The finding revealed that respondents were highly relying on bamboo for household use, construction, fuel wood, fencing and fodder for livestock. The result of bamboo income share shows that, 14% Bamboo can contribute to the total income of the households. Income from bamboo ranks third next to crop and livestock production. The result of multiple linear regression model revealed that, Educational level of household head and Distance to the market were negatively affect income generated from bamboo. In contrast, the culm price Bamboo was positively and significantly affect income generated from bamboo production. Market related and knowledge on bamboo production and processing were the most challenges identified by the households. Bamboo contributes a remarkable income share for households in the study area.

Abstract

E-procurement is the use of ICT capabilities to decrease the human contact in procurement operations. E-procurement enables users to find goods in electronic catalogs, generate orders, route them for approval, create and transmit orders to suppliers, and automate the invoicing and payment process. The study's major goal was to look at the impact of E-procurement on the performance of construction projects in Kenya's Lake Region Economic Bloc counties. The study used an explanatory research design. A stratified random sampling approach was employed to choose 342 respondents from a target group of 2,346 County officers. Primary data were gathered through interviews and questionnaires. Data was analyzed for inferential as well as descriptive statistics using SPSS version 26 and theme analysis, respectively. E-procurement was established to be a strong predictor of the success of building projects in the Lake Region Economic Bloc counties. Electronic procurement can account for up to 76.2% of the variation in construction project performance (R2=0.762, P

Abstract

Health insurance premiums are on the rise due to increasing medical costs, inflation, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accurate premium pricing is crucial for insurance companies to maintain financial stability and offer fair rates to policyholders. Generalized Linear Models (GLM) have been widely used in actuarial science for modeling insurance premiums. This study proposes the use of GLM with a Gamma distribution to model health insurance premiums. The Gamma distribution is suitable for non-negative and positively skewed data, which is characteristic of insurance claim amounts. By analyzing historical data from a Southeast United State insurance company, we aim to identify key factors influencing premium pricing and develop a robust premium model. The model will consider factors such as age, gender, BMI, number of children, and smoking status to predict individual risk profiles and determine appropriate premiums. Our findings indicate that age and smoking status are the most significant factors affecting premium rates. Older individuals and smokers tend to have higher premiums due to their increased risk of health issues. Gender and BMI, however, were found to have no significant impact on premium pricing in this specific dataset. Insurance companies can use the identified factors (age, smoking status, etc.) to create more precise risk profiles for their policyholders.

Abstract

Currently, major telecommunication sub-sector companies in Indonesia are experiencing rapid growth and have become dominant players in the market. However, not all telecommunication companies are profitable, as some dominant subsidiaries have experienced declining profits or losses, potentially leading to financial distress. Financial distress is a condition where a company is unable to meet its current obligations, such as trade payables, tax liabilities, and short-term debts. This study aims to analyze and evaluate the accuracy of the Ohlson O-Score and Zmijewski methods in detecting financial distress in telecommunication companies in Indonesia. The data used in this study are historical financial data from several telecommunication companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results show that the Ohlson O-Score is effective in early detection of potential financial distress, while the Zmijewski method is more effective in evaluating companies already in critical financial conditions.

Abstract

Accident losses are unavoidable when accidents occur. Data from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) show an increasing trend in accident claim amounts in recent years. This study aims to calculate aggregate accident claims based on the number and magnitude of accident losses in Indonesia from 2013 to 2022, enabling insurance companies or entities covering such losses to estimate the total liability required for all accident claims. The Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution was applied to model claim amounts, while the negative binomial distribution was used for the number of accidents. The results show that the expected value of aggregate claims is IDR 236,768,463,076.93, with a variance of 7.28 × 10²⁰. The findings indicate that these distributions are suitable for modeling aggregate claims, providing insights for determining appropriate insurance premiums.

Abstract

Work Accident Insurance (JKK) is one of the programs of the Social Security Administering Agency (BPJS) for Employment. Insurance brokers need to make an initial estimate of the premium to determine the collective premium for JKK. Premium calculations can be done using the aggregate distribution method. The total loss of the insurance policy can be owned by the random variable of the aggregate distribution. In calculating the premium using the aggregate distribution, one of the principles that can be used is the standard deviation principle. Based on this principle, the amount of the premium can be calculated by the standard deviation of the aggregate distribution. This study uses the aggregate Poisson-Normal distribution to calculate the collective premium based on the seven benefits of the JKK BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Bojongsoang program. The data used are the number of claim events and the number of claims from the seven benefit claims of JKK BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Bojongsoang participants for the 2022 period. The principle used in calculating the collective premium with the aggregate distribution is the standard deviation principle. The results of the analysis show that the Poisson distribution is followed by claim frequency data and the Normal distribution is followed by the amount of the claim. This study shows that the amount of collective premium calculated tends to be greater than the amount of collective premium sourced from existing data of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Bojongsoang company. It is expected for insurance brokers and insurance companies to consider this study.
