This study examines whether knowledge causes economic growth in Africa's two leading economies: Nigeria and South Africa. Using the Vector Autoregressive and Vector Error Correction approach, the findings show cointegration among the variables. The speed of convergence of the variables to their...

Purpose - This paper provides an analysis of the energy-carbon Kuznets curve hypothesis (CKC) using a second-generation panel methodology. Design/methodology/approach - Specifically, we investigate whether energy consumption, natural resources, and governance explain the CKC proposition. Our...

Generally, the revolutionary idea behind using information and communication technology (ICT) has improved potential productivity in many industries, particularly in Africa. ICT is an essential tool in the oil and gas industry and plays a complementary role in technological dynamics and...

The study examines the role of natural resources and the carbon emission Kuznets curve, (CKC) in managing the climate crisis in Africa, using annual series data from the World, Bank from 1980 to 2019. The empirical strategy is based on the second-generation panel, techniques that account for...

The study examines the role of natural resources and energy consumption in managing the climate crisis in Africa, using annual series data from the World Bank from 1980 to 2019. The empirical strategy is based on the second-generation panel techniques that account for cross-sectional dependency...

This study investigated whether Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) supported the resource curse hypothesis in Nigeria. The precise methodological contribution was based on the Vector Error Correction and Granger causality test. The finding showed cointegration among the variables, whereas the speed...
