Abstract

This review paper explores the integration of Blue, Green, and Grey economies as viable pathways for sustainable economic development in Nigeria. By examining the principles, current status, challenges, and opportunities of these economic models, the study highlights their potential in diversifying Nigeria's economy, enhancing environmental sustainability, and promoting social inclusion. The Blue Economy focuses on harnessing Nigeria’s vast coastal and marine resources for sustainable fisheries, aquaculture, and maritime activities. The Green Economy emphasizes eco-friendly practices, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and land management as means to address climate change and improve food security. Meanwhile, the Grey Economy, predominantly informal, presents opportunities for sustainable urban development, particularly in waste management, recycling, and construction sectors. The study identifies significant challenges, including policy gaps, inadequate infrastructure, limited access to financing, and the need for a more robust regulatory framework. It emphasizes the necessity of an integrated policy approach that aligns with Nigeria’s Vision 2050 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Strategic recommendations include fostering public-private partnerships, investing in capacity building, and leveraging innovative financing mechanisms to support sustainability projects. This review concludes that a comprehensive approach to integrating Blue, Green, and Grey economies can enhance Nigeria’s economic resilience, reduce environmental degradation, and promote inclusive growth. The findings serve as a blueprint for policymakers, stakeholders, and researchers interested in advancing sustainable development in Nigeria.

Abstract

This research investigates the convergence of the urban regional economy in North Sumatra from 2018 to 2022, employing a quantitative and descriptive approach to analyze the factors influencing the Regional Gross Domestic Product (GRDP). Data, derived from the Central Statistics Agency (CSA), encompasses eight cities: Sibolga, Tanjungbalai, Pematangsiantar, Tebing Tinggi, Medan, Binjai, Padangsidimpuan, and Gunung Sitoli. The study focuses on three independent variables—population (X1), Human Development Index (HDI) (X2), and Open Unemployment Rate (OUR) (X3)—aiming to understand their simultaneous and partial effects on GRDP. Hypotheses are formulated, indicating the anticipated influence of each variable, with the null hypothesis positing no significant effect. Utilizing eViews version 12 for panel data regression analysis, the results reveal that collectively, Population, HDI, and OUR significantly influence GRDP in the urban regions of North Sumatra. However, when analyzed individually, only HDI and TPT exhibit significant impacts, while Population does not. This suggests that the quality of human development and the unemployment rate play pivotal roles in driving economic convergence. The findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of the convergence dynamics in the cities studied, emphasizing the importance of targeted policies to foster inclusive and sustainable economic growth in the region.

Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between bank-based financial development and economic growth in 14 Asia-Pacific economies over the period 2010-2021. Using a panel data framework with Pooled OLS and System GMM estimators to address potential endogeneity, the results reveal nonlinear patterns: certain measures of financial development exhibit an inverted U-shaped relationship with growth, while another measure shows a U-shaped relationship. These findings suggest that both insufficient and excessive financial development can be detrimental, and that the growth-enhancing effects may emerge only beyond specific thresholds. Policy recommendations for Vietnam emphasize strict supervision of credit institutions, encouraging commercial banks to adopt digital transformation, inflation stability, stock market deepening, and targeted attraction of high-quality foreign direct investment.

Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have long been an important pillar in driving economic growth. This study aims to analyze the MSME ecosystem in relation to competitiveness in North Sumatra Province. This research uses the Vector Autoregression Error Correction model. The results show that in the short term, there is an increase in access to capital, which significantly and positively affects income. This is consistent in the long term, where there is a positive and significant effect of increased access to capital in driving the system towards long-term equilibrium. Increased adoption of internet technology has a positive and significant effect. Long-term analysis shows a positive coefficient for internet technology adoption. In the short term, not receiving guidance/training/counseling (BPP) shows a positive and significant effect. However, long-term findings show a negative and significant impact. Short-term findings show that the bank loan variable has a negative and significant impact, which is consistent with long-term findings.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of internet usage on economic freedom, with a particular focus on the mediating role of trade openness in developing Southeast Asian countries. Utilizing a quantitative explanatory approach with Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the analysis is based on balanced panel data from ten ASEAN member states—Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Timor-Leste—covering the period from 2011 to 2022. The findings reveal a significant and positive direct effect of internet usage on economic freedom. However, the indirect effect through trade openness is statistically insignificant, suggesting that digitalization promotes economic freedom primarily through direct mechanisms rather than by increasing trade integration. Moreover, institutional quality, as measured by the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), shows a stronger influence on trade openness than internet access alone. These results underscore the importance of aligning digital transformation efforts with institutional reforms and good governance to fully capitalize on the benefits of the digital economy. This study offers empirical contributions to the literature on digitalization, trade liberalization, and economic freedom, and provides actionable policy insights for developing countries undergoing digital transitions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of economic growth and unemployment rate on government expenditure in North Sumatra Province. The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data in the form of annual time series for the 1990–2024 period, obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) and various scientific literature. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 22. The results show that, partially, economic growth has a negative and significant effect on government expenditure, indicating that an increase in regional economic activity is followed by a decrease in government spending, along with a stronger role of the private sector. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate does not have a significant effect on government expenditure, meaning that unemployment fluctuations are not yet considered a main determinant in regional budget decisions. Simultaneously, both independent variables significantly influence government expenditure in North Sumatra. Thus, overall macroeconomic dynamics play an essential role in shaping regional fiscal policy.
