Over the past three decades, Albania has had positive and increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows that have brought significant changes in many economic sectors. The paper’s purpose is to analyze the dynamic relationship between FDI and economic growth, particularly emphasizing absorption capital variables. The research question is if the human capital development level, technological development, trade openness, public expenses, and financial system development in Albania help or hinder the materialization of the expected positive effect of FDI on economic growth? We used empirical analyses to evaluate these relationships based on the model created by Borensztein, De Gregorio, and Lee (1998). We changed a few variables in the model, and we used the multivariate vector autoregressive (VAR) model and the vector error correction model (VECM) to analyze the variables’ causal relationships. Some of the results achieved are consistent with other authors’ findings, so human capital is considered an essential element of host countries’ absorptive capacity. In the long run, in Albania, the FDI’s impact on economic growth positively affects human capital development, especially on knowledge and expertise and financial system development. However, the technological difference index gives a negative long-term impact on economic growth, and trade opening is statistically insignificant.

Africa is regarded as the least developed continent in terms of overall development and specifically in terms of human capital development (HCD) efforts. Research on the determinants of HCD in Africa is scanty, as the literature is dominated by country-specific studies as well as group of country studies that primarily focus on the effect of human capital on growth and other economic development parameters. Therefore, this paper investigates the determinants of human capital development in 33 African countries over a 14-year period from 2000 to 2013. The empirical analysis is predicated on Sen’s capability approach that was modified following Binder and Georgiadis (2011) in order to explicitly account for the role of health, infrastructure and institutions as potential drivers of HCD. This is a departure from previous studies that focused primarily on the role of education. In addition to preliminary tests such as line plot, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis carried out, the data is analysed using panel unit root, co-integration and causality techniques. Findings show that all the variables are integrated of order one while HCD and its determinants have a stable long-run equilibrium relationship. Specifically, all the variables significantly influence HCD in the long run, whereas the contemporaneous models suggest that only institutions matter. Utilizing alternative estimators as well as estimation of subsamples, robustness tests reinforce our findings. Therefore, African governments may consider supporting HCD through sustained investment in the education and health sectors. At the same time, short-term gains may be attained through enhanced institutional quality and infrastructure development.

In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, together with seventeen goals that are collectively called the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study examined the effects of non-financial microfinance services on human capital development of clients and discusses its implications on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The case is drawn from Sinapi Aba Trust (SAT), which is a microfinance institution of Ghana. Primary data were collected from 361 clients in seven districts of the Ashanti Region, Ghana. The results of the ordinary least square (OLS) regression showed that non-financial services offered by SAT had positive significance on human capital development of the clients. This finding shows how additional services from microfinance institution could help clients to maximise the value of loans offered to support income-generating economic activities. For clients, the study also draws attention to the need for them to take non-financial services offered by microfinance institutions seriously to improve on their own human capital development in the context of the SDGs.
