    Oil prices and economic growth nexus in Ghana: New empirical evidence
    (Sciendo, 2023) Abdul-Rahman, Mutawakil; Seidu, Ayatullahi; Abdul Rahman, Mohammed Muntaka; Turgut, Murat; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İktisat Bölümü
    The study aims to contribute to the oil price-economic growth nexus in Ghana by assessing the short- and long-run relationships with annual data that covers the period from 1987 to 2020. The study contributes to the literature by accounting for developments in the Ghanaian oil industry post-2012, including the discovery of the Tweneboa-Enyenra-Ntomme (TEN) and Sankofa Gye-Nyame (SGN) oil fields in 2016 and 2017, respectively, thus filling a massive deficiency in the literature. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and the bounds cointegration test are used because they are appropriate for analyzing short- and long-run dynamics on a theoretical basis when time series are mixed-integrated, i.e., I(1) and I(0). The bounds test results indicated a cointegration relation between economic growth as proxied by real gross domestic product per capita and physical capital, labor force, oil prices, population growth, and government expenditure. The findings provide convincing evidence that the oil price is a significant driver of economic growth in Ghana. Both long-run and short-run impacts of the oil price are positive, statistically significant, and robust for the oil price proxy. The results suggest that because of the recent volatility of oil prices, economic policies should be concentrated on reducing overreliance on oil revenue to avoid the Dutch disease phenomenon. Nonetheless, policymakers should strategize well enough by encouraging more local participation in the oil sector to avoid the risk of falling victim to the Dutch disease.

    The triple impact of innovation, financial inclusion, and renewable energy consumption on environmental quality in some emerging economies
    (Econjournals, 2024) Kaplan, Muhittin; Abdul Rahman, Mohammed Muntaka; Khan, Asad ul Islam; Vergil, Hasan; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İktisat Bölümü
    This paper investigates the triple impact of innovation, financial inclusion, and renewable energy consumption on the quality of environment. The study employed data between 2007 and 2019 from selected emerging economies. Using the fixed effect two-step GMM econometric method. The result found that financial inclusion and innovation have a positive relationship with carbon emissions, hence, contributing to the reduction in the quality of the environment. Renewable energy consumption was found to reduce carbon emissions. Similarly, the interactive terms TPT*FIN, FIN*REN, and TPT*REN were all negatively related to carbon emissions. The study recommends that governments should increase financial instruments to support innovation that will enhance environmental quality. Additionally, governments should strengthen their environmental policies. Financial institutions should encourage firms to access green finance solutions. The value and originality of this study is the introduction of the interactive term which throws more light on variables that affect the environment and through which channel. Moreso, there are few works with these interactive terms relative to emerging economies. Third, there are no previous studies that employed the fixed effect two-step GMM to analyze the impact of financial inclusion, technological innovation, and renewable energy consumption on environmental quality.
