Moderating Role

Abstract The recent study aim is to scrutinize the moderating role of natural resources between institutional quality and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 106 developing countries from 1996 to 2017 by using dynamic fixed effect, generalized method of moments (GMM) and system generalized method of moments (system GMM) estimators as well as apply the instrumental fixed effect, the instrumental time fixed effect and instrumental system GMM estimators as robustness. We make use of dynamic models and instrumental system GMM to reduce the result of autocorrelation increasing from misspecification of a model as well as clear the biases from unnecessary data and solve the possible endogeneity issues. The empirical results indicate that financial development, trade, and institutional factors: corruption perception control, government effectiveness, political stability, regulatory quality, rule of law, and voice and accountability play a vital role in CO2 emissions reduction but natural resources along with economic growth are the core factors that cause CO2 emission in developing countries. On the opposing, natural resources boost the indirect impact of institutional quality on CO2 emissions in developing countries.

Analysis Of Performance

This book addresses the central challenge facing rich countries: how to ensure that ordinary working families see their living standards and the prospects for their children improve rather than stagnate over time. It presents the findings from a comprehensive analysis of performance over recent decades across the rich countries of the OECD, in terms of real income growth around and below the middle. It relates this performance to overall economic growth, exploring why these often diverge substantially, and to the different models of capitalism or economic growth embedded in different countries. In-depth comparative and UK-focused analyses also focus on wages and the labour market and on the role of redistribution. Going beyond income, other indicators and aspects of living standards are also incorporated including non-monetary indicators of deprivation and financial strain, wealth and its distribution, and intergenerational mobility. By looking across this broad canvas, the book teases out how ordinary households have fared in recent decades in these critically important respects, and how that should inform the quest for inclusive growth and prosperity.

The Relationship

Abstract We test the effect of institutional quality on capital structure in the microfinance setting. In doing this, we rely on data from 532 microfinance institutions (MFIs) located in 73 countries dotted across the six microfinance regions in the world. We observe that institutional quality exhibits a robust negative and statistically significant relationship with capital structure in both the short and long run, implying that MFIs in countries with a better institutional environment are less likely to utilize more debt. Our moderation analysis furnishes us with evidence that the presence of women on the board of an MFI significantly moderates the relationship between institutional quality and its capital structure. We show that in the presence of more female representation on the boards of MFIs, the tendency of MFIs using less debt is higher.
