The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Islam on entrepreneurial initiative in Cameroon. In order to achieve this objective, the authors used data collected from 504 individuals in Douala and Yaoundé cities by the Laboratory for Research in Fundamental and Applied Economics (LAREFA) of the University of Dschang. Using the binary probit model and the bivariate probit model, the following results were obtained: 1) although not significant, the probability for a Muslim to start his own business decreases by 0.8% as compared to individuals of other religious denominations; 2) although not also significant, for an entrepreneur (or manager) to be a Muslim increases by about 8% his probability to become a well-established entrepreneur (or manager).

Managerial Innovation

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of openness on the adoption of managerial innovation by Cameroonian companies, as well as comparing the share of managerial innovation resulting from inter-organizational networks of the same group and of different groups. Noting a lack of such a study on Cameroon, this study used data from the Centre de Recherche en Economie et Gestion (CEREG) to achieve the objective. Using a binary probit model and a recursive bivariate probit model, the authors found that, first, a company that collaborates with other companies has an increased probability of 0.37 of adopting new managerial practices, compared to another company that does not collaborate. Second, a company belonging to a group that collaborates with companies of a different group has an increased probability of 0.30 of adopting new managerial practices, compared to a company that only collaborates with companies of the group to which she belongs. Business leaders should cooperate with all market players.

Biofuels are socially and politically accepted as a form of sustainable energy in numerous countries. However, cases of environmental degradation and land grabs have highlighted the negative effects to their adoption. Smallholder farmers are vital in the development of a biofuel industry. The study sought to assess the implications in the adoption of biofuel crops by smallholder farmers. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to 129 smallholder farmers who were sampled from the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa. A binary probit model was used to investigate the determinants of smallholder farmers adopting biofuel crops. The empirical results showed that the variables, such as membership in association, occupation and incentives were statistically significant in influencing farmers’ decision to adopt biofuel crops. Furthermore, it was discovered that the studied areas have a potential to grow biofuel crops.

Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk mengkaji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi probabilitas terjadinya tindak kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (KDRT) pada wanita/istri petani, dalam periode 3 dan 6 bulan terakhir. Metode deskriptif dan probit binary model digunakan untuk menganalisa data yang telah terkumpul melalui wawancara terhadap 200 wanita dari 4 desa di Kecamatan Padang Jaya Kabupaten Bengkulu Utara yang dipilih secara stratified random sampling berdasarkan basis ekonomi rumah tangga (RT) mereka, yakni RT perkebunan, RT perikanan air tawar, dan RT pertanian tanaman pangan. Jumlah responden untuk masing-masing desa ditentukan secara proporsional berdasarkan sub-populasinya dan pemilihannya juga dilakukan secara acak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa probabilitas wanita/istri petani mengalami KDRT dalam 3 dan 6 bulan terakhir adalah 37% dan 48%, dalam bentuk kekerasan fisik, psikologi, sosial-ekonomi, dan seksual. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa perbedaan umur suami-istri, umur pernikahan, status ekonomi istri, dan perbedaan suku (etnik) suami-istri secara signifikan mempengaruhi probabilitas terjadinya KDRT pada wanita/istri petani, baik untuk periode 3 ataupun 6 bulan terakhir. Estimasi efek marjinal dari peubah bebasnya mengindikasikan bahwa persamaan etnik suami-istri dan status ekonomi istri memiliki kontribusi terbesar yang dapat mengurangi probabilitas wanita/istri petani mengalami tindak kekerasan dalam rumah tangganya. Kata kunci: kekerasan dalam rumah tangga, probalititas, binary probit model
