Dynare is a popular software for solving dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) and overlapping generations (OLG) models. It is used along with Octave or Matlab. However, writing documents using Dynare outputs can be error-prone and time-consuming, as it requires copying and pasting the outputs into the document. To address this problem and...

Sustainable management of available water resources needs robust and reliable intelligent tools to address emerging water challenges. These days, artificial intelligence (AI) based tools are more efficient and prominent in addressing issues related to water treatment plants. Therefore, in the current study, the extreme learning machine (ELM) was op...

Groundwater salinization is a crucial socio-economic and environmental issue that is significant for a variety of reasons, including water quality and availability, agricultural productivity, health implications, socio-political stability and environmental sustainability. Salinization degrades the quality of water, rendering it unfit for human cons...
Article
Abstract The prediction of CO2 emissions is critical for designing sustainable environmental policies and meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to climate action. Therefore, this paper aims to assess the appropriate predictive model for tracking carbon emissions in four African economies with the highest carbon emis...

Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) is a major air pollutant that can deeply penetrate the respiratory system and enter the bloodstream when inhaled. Therefore, it is significant to monitor and model PM 2.5, which is also considered as a key indicator of overall air quality. The current study employs the use of both Nature inspired Meta-heuristic optim...
Conference Paper
In this study, linear and non-linear models are employed to model the Central Bank Rate (CBR), Deposit Interest Rate (DIR), Lending Rate (LER), and Treasury Bill Rate (TBR). The choice of variables is guided by the Fisher Equation (FE). The linear models range from Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Simple Linear Regression (SLR), Au...
Conference Paper
The knitr package provides an avenue for incorporating programming languages and statistical applications into R Markdown and Quarto document for the sake of reproducibility. However, deep technical knowledge of R programming is required to achieve this task. In addition to this, the existing literature does not provide a guide on how to add econom...

This article evaluates the asymmetric impact of exchange rate volatility on the exports of nine ECOWAS countries to the Eurozone. By comparing Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Nonlinear ARDL (NARDL) models, the study concludes that the effect of volatility on ECOWAS-Eurozone exports (EEE) is asymmetric. The study also investigates the impa...

Water scarcity is a pressing global challenge, and arid regions like Saudi Arabia face the urgent need for effective water stress management. The current study proposes an innovative method to tackle this issue by utilizing a hybrid time series analysis model, comprising of Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Generalized Least Squa...

EViews is a software designed for conducting econometric data analysis. There exists a one-way communication between EViews and R, as the former can run the code of the latter, but the reverse is not the case. We describe EviewsR, an R package which allows users of R, R Markdown and Quarto to execute EViews code. In essence, EviewsR does not only p...

Reliable modeling of novel commutative cases of COVID-19 (CCC) is essential for determining hospitalization needs and providing the benchmark for health-related policies. The current study proposes multi-regional modeling of CCC cases for the first scenario using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) based on automatic routines (AUTOARIM...
Article
This paper employs Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) modelling and doubling time to assess the effect of lockdown and reopening on the active COVID-19 cases (ACC) based on a sample from 29 February to 3 July 2020. Two models are estimated: one with a sample covering post-lockdown period only and another spanning both post-lockdown an...

Unlike previous studies, the current study uses oil price and inflationary shocks to assess the feasibility of actualizing the ECOWAS Vision 2020, which is aimed at creating a monetary union. With the help of the Blanchard and Quah (BQ) decomposition for a sample from 1975:05 to 2018:08, two sets of models are estimated: models for inflationary sho...
