Does corruption undermine tourism development in Africa?

Chenghong Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of corruption on tourism development in 30 African countries over the period 1996-2020. The results show that corruption has a negative and statistically significant effect on tourism development, affecting both domestic and international tourists. Additionally, macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth, foreign direct investment, and infrastructural development are found to be favorable for promoting the tourism sector.

Information and communication technologies role in alleviating poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa: Impacts and transmission channels

Atif Awad

Summary: Research suggests that information and communication technologies (ICTs) have the potential to alleviate poverty in developing countries. However, the mechanisms through which ICT reduces poverty have not been sufficiently tested. This study examined the effects of ICT on poverty reduction in 37 economies in Sub-Saharan Africa from 2003 to 2019. The findings indicate that ICT can positively impact poverty through employment, per capita income, and institutional quality, but negatively impact poverty through environmental quality. Overall, incorporating pro-poor ICT policies is crucial for poverty reduction strategies in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Put on the light! Foreign direct investment, governance and access to electricity

Olufemi Adewale Aluko et al.

Summary: Despite efforts and commitments, achieving universal coverage of electricity in Africa remains below expectation, primarily due to the lack of sufficient domestic financial resources and political will. This study investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on access to electricity in African countries and finds that FDI, along with good governance, has a positive influence on electricity access. The findings emphasize the importance of addressing financial and governance barriers to improve electricity infrastructure development in the region.

Summary: This study examines the roles of governance and institutions in infrastructure development in the Sub-Saharan African region. The results show that governance and institutional quality significantly boost infrastructure development, while foreign direct investment (FDI) does not have a significant impact. Therefore, the region needs to strengthen institutions, align industrial and economic efforts with infrastructure development, and encourage foreign investors to diversify investments in infrastructure projects.

Institutional Quality and Income Inequality in Developing Countries: A Dynamic Panel Threshold Analysis

Lawrence Adu Asamoah

Summary: The study found that the impact of institutional quality on income distribution is uneven, with differences between advanced countries and developing countries in the effect of institutional quality on income inequality. For advanced countries, institutional quality has a quadratic effect, while for developing countries, it exhibits a monotonic negative effect. Additionally, under different threshold variables, there are variations in the relationship between institutions and income inequality.

The corruption and income inequality puzzle: Does political power distribution matter?

Joseph Keneck-Massil et al.

Summary: The literature on income inequality outcomes of corruption is inconclusive. This paper provides new insights by emphasizing the role of political power distribution in the corruption-income inequality nexus. Lower levels of corruption are associated with reduced inequalities worldwide, but this counter-intuitive relationship is only found in developing countries due to the uneven distribution of political power, where non-dominant groups engage in corruption to access public services or support their income-generating activities.

Summary: This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT), trade, and economic growth in 53 African countries. It finds that trade is a significant predictor of growth, the impact of trade and ICT adoption varies across sub-regions, and ICT innovation enhances the impact of trade on growth. However, inconsistency in results across sub-regions suggests that the level of ICT development in Africa is still inadequate.
