The paper presents the empirical analysis of the effect of entrepreneurship activity on the economic recovery and growth using SMEs in Nigeria. Two cities from each of the six geopolitical zones and four sectors of the economy were selected for the study. The total number of the selected four sectors form the population of the study while the sample size is seven hundred and twenty. The analysis employs the Ordinary Least Square techniques and time-series data for the economic recovery. The study adopts the Phillips-Perron test procedure to examine the stationarity of the study variables. The Johansen Cointegration test was employed to establish the cointegration of the variables and the unrestricted Error Correction Model was used to examine the speed of the alteration to the equilibrium. It has been inferred that the entrepreneurship activity and ERG are integrated of order (1(0)). This is established by the explanatory power of the models result of R value of 0.274 and R2 approximated to 0.075. The result shows a low positive impact of entrepreneurial activities on ERG. The study proves that, despite the crash in oil industry, the entrepreneurship has contributed positively to the Nigerian economy although at a low level. The study suggests that the government should support the development of entrepreneurship

With the pace of development and competitiveness, innovation plays an important role to capture the market share. Various countries have effective strategies to enhance Research and Development (R&D) and exchange value added products in international market. So, based on this the aim of this research is to examine the role of R&D, industrial design and charges for intellectual property in innovative exports in South Korean economy. Time series data for the period 1998 to 2017, Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) models are used to determine the dynamic interrelationship among the study variables. In summary, the overall results show that there is co-integration rank of in both trace test and value test at 1% significance level. Moreover, OLS and GMM findings depict that there is significant and positive coefficient for ID & RD which represent that they have positive impact on HT. Whereas, the IP displays a negative and significant relationship with high technology exports accordingly. Lastly, the diagnostic tests show that model is stable for the study time period and result is reliable. The current study also suggests some policy implications which can enhance innovative export products of South Korea while enhancing R&D.

This study aims to analyze the competitiveness, trade integration, trade complementarity, and factors affecting the export and import of main commodities between Indonesia and Turkey. Data used in this study is time series data in 1996-2018 and the methods used are Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Intra-Industry Trade (IIT), Trade Complementarity Index (TCI), and Ordinary Least Square (OLS). Results of RCA showed Indonesia's main export commodities to Turkey are woven fabrics, stearic acid, palm oil and natural rubber. While IIT showed that there is only one way trade from Indonesia. Import commodities from Turkey are carpets, borax, wheat flour, and tobacco. TCI showed low complementarity between Indonesia�s export and Turkey�s import. GDP per capita has positive impact on exports and imports. The exchange rate has positive impact on exports and negative on imports. Price and tariff rate have negative impact on both exports and imports. Dummy Non-tariff barrier has negative impact on exports while in import side, it only affects the wheat flour negatively. The Government of Indonesia should pursue a strategy in trade cooperation as efforts to reduce trade barriers such as tariffs and non-tariffs for some commodities that have competitiveness in the Turkish market.

As an agricultural country, Indonesia still imports soybeans to meet domestic soybean needs. The gap between national soybean production and consumption causes the government to import. Based on this, this study aims to analyze the factors that influence soybean imports in Indonesia. The data used are time series data for the period 2003-2018. Data is sourced from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), United Nations International Trade Statistics Database (UN COMTRADE), the Central Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Indonesia, World Bank, Bank Indonesia, and the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia. The analysis method uses SEM-Partial Least Square (PLS). The results showed that the macroeconomic conditions directly affect soybean production and consumption. On the other hand, consumption has a direct effect, but production has no direct effect on soybean imports. Macroeconomic conditions do not have a direct effect on soybean imports. Nevertheless, the total effect (combined direct and indirect effects) is significant from macroeconomic conditions on soybean imports.

Last decade, Indonesia's economic growth experienced a downward trend. The study examines the role of investment, equality in education, poverty, income inequality, and regime to economic growth in Indonesia. We used time-series data between 1970-2017. It was obtained from BPS and World Bank (Indodapur) publications. The model used is the Weighted Least Square Regression (WLS). The results showed the factors that contributed significantly to increasing Indonesia's economic growth were education equality, poverty, and income inequality. While investment/capital, economic transparency, and the regime did not significantly contribute to increasing economic growth. Expanding access to education for high school or equivalent is important by the Government, including the development of school infrastructure in remote areas and teacher distribution. The Government should maintain the poverty trend that continues to decline. The future study dynamic models look at the long-term relationships related to education equality, distribution of income, and poverty on economic growth.

The major objective of income distribution to the federal, state and local governments in Nigeria is to achieve economic growth which leads to economic development. This ultimate aim of governance in Nigeria appears not to have been achieved due to alleged corruption and mismanagement of the monthly allocated funds. Thus, this study investigates the effect of revenue apportioned to the three levels of government on economic growth in Nigeria.  The study employs annual time series data which cover a period from 1981-2016 and have been collected from CBN Statistical Bulletin, 2016 edition. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method is used to perform the multi-regression analysis with the aid of e-views version 9. The findings of the study reveal that the federally apportioned revenue to the federal government (FAFG) has a significant positive impact on RGDP while FALG has a robust significant positive impact on RGDP. The result also indicates that FASG has a significant negative influence on RGDP. This leads to a conclusion that mismanagement of funds by the state governments is a cause for concern. Therefore, the study suggests, among others, that revenue sharing formula in the country should be based more on impact of expenditure incurred on executed projects (long term and short term) by each tier of government than on any other parameter to achieve fairness and efficiency in public service delivery at all levels of governance.


The relationship between export and foreign investments is becoming more and more relevant topic in the economies of many countries in the world. This relationship, its direction and mechanism are, particularly crucial for emerging markets. This paper investigates the direction of the relationship between the export and foreign investments of Uzbekistan based on the data on previous years. Since the government have been reforming the macroeconomic policy of Uzbekistan gradually towards openness in recent years, it is very important to find the direction of the association before forming national strategy to encourage the export of the country and to attract foreign investments to the country. In this study Granger causality test is used to determine the direction of the relationship using time series data from 2005 to 2017. With respect to the findings of the study, it can be seen that the volume of export has positive impact on the foreign investments. However, there is no sufficient evidence to support the idea that foreign investment has significant impact on the volume of export. The results conclude that in Uzbekistan, export volume is one of the key factors that have been contributing to the attractiveness of investment climate in recent years

This study assesses the impact of remittance on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross National Product (GNP) and Per Capita Income (PCI) of Nepal employing multiple regression method on national annual time series data for a period of 41 years (from 1974/75 to 2014/15). The results show that there is positive impact of remittance on GDP, GNP and PCI. Further, the findings clearly provide an evidence of predictive power of fixed capital formation on economic development. But the role of export could not be established. Finally, to foster the economic development, it is suggested that the government should initiate policy to channelize the remittance income into the productive uses by offering attractive investment schemes to the remittance receiving families.

AbstractSustainability of economic development in Nigeria has been a serious challenge despite the huge revenue allocated to the three tiers of the government on a monthly basis from the federation account.  This recurring decimal has left the country in a pitiable condition with inadequate infrastructures to carry on economic activities.  The study examines the extent to which revenue allocation enhances economic development using time series data obtained from CBN Statistical Bulletin which covered a period from 1981 to 2016.  Ordinary Least Squares technique was employed and the findings revealed that FASG and NDSD have significant negative impact on PCI while FAFG has insignificant negative impact on PCI.  On the contrast, the result shows that FALG has a robust significant positive impact on PCI.  The study attributes this poor performance to misuse of resources and suggest that more stringent measures be employed by the government to fight graft in the public sector and among government officials.  This will help to curb corrupt practices and ensure efficient and effective use of resources to boost economic development.   Keywords: Revenue allocation, economic development, federation account, Resources, Nigeria.
