Geothermal energy is considered environmentally friendly than fossil fuel sources, and geothermal power plants are expected to have a low carbon footprint. It is renewable that can last million years. There exist, however, several gases stored under the earth’s surface which are released into the atmosphere during digging (TWI 2020). This research...

Accelerating the pace of energy technological innovation is essential to curb global climate change and build a clean energy system. Based on this idea, from the perspective of renewable energy technology gaps across countries, this study presents a thorough empirical analysis of the convergence of energy technology research, development, and demon...

This paper investigates the formation of convergence clubs and examines the drivers of growth convergence in Africa by accounting for individual heterogenous effects and establishing transitional paths. We particularly employ the sophisticated log t test to identify underlying convergence clubs and use LSDVC as a benchmark model for analysing the d...

The effect of tourism development on GHG has been a controversial research topic, and the existing literature fails to provide satisfactory evidence about the impact of tourism on climate change. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to study the dynamics of tourism development with several climate-changing substances through time- a...

While various linear and nonlinear forecasting models exist, multivariate methods like VAR, Exponential smoothing, and Box-Jenkins' ARIMA methodology constitute the widely used methods in time series. This paper employs series of Turkish private consumption, exports and GDP data ranging between 1998: Q1 and 2017: Q4 to analyze the forecast performa...

Our paper explores the prospects for the proposed East African Monetary Union (EAMU) by employing rigorous empirical tools to analyse business cycles synchronisation, structural cross‐correlations, spectral decomposition and regional clusters to identify different cyclical episodes, periodicities and characterise the economic cycles of East African...

Symmetric and asymmetric GARCH models-GARCH (1,1); PARCH(1;1); EGARCH(1,1,); TARCH(1,1) and IGARCH(1,1)- were used to examine stylized facts of daily USD/UGX return series from September 1st, 2005 to August 30th, 2018. Modeling and forecasting were performed based on Gaussian, Student’s t and GED distribution densities with a view to identifying th...

This study examines environmental convergence in ecological footprint and its sub-components in a region subjected to rapid degradation of environmental conditions and, where environmental conservation significantly remains unpopular in both government policy priorities and academic literature. This is expected to contribute to policy-shaping in th...

This is a causality study on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Unemployment and Economic growth in Uganda using time series Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds approach based on FDI, unemployment rates and GDP datasets from 1993 to 2015. Curtailing levels of unemployment and simultaneously sparkling levels of economic growth are primary mac...

In the Stock Exchange of Thailand, we examine whether buying stocks that have performed well in the past and selling those stocks that have performed poorly in the past will generate statistically significant positive return in the future. The performance of this strategy has been well studied in different countries by scholars. These studies sugge...
