The Influence of ESG Factors on Sovereign Credit Ratings in Sub-Saharan Africa: A LASSO and Random Forest Approach

Madina Ishimwe,Milliam Niyonshuti,Min Su,Clement Mintah,Edward Appau Nketiah,Emefa Garnet
This study examines the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors on sovereign credit ratings in Sub-Saharan African countries using LASSO and Random Forest models. Sovereign credit ratings, issued by major rating agencies, play a crucial role in determining a country’s borrowing costs and investment attractiveness. Traditionally, these ratings have been influenced by macroeconomic factors; however, recent trends suggest that ESG considerations are becoming increasingly relev...

Chinese Engagement in Sub Saharan African Economies: A Case of Tanzanian Economy

To build their economies, these countries have turned to China for support over the past few decades as the conditions attached to accessing loans from the West have become increasingly unattractive.

The Farmer Input Support Program and Poverty Alleviation in Zambia: The Smallholder Farmer’s Perspective Using Intervention and Sustainability Theories

Odetta Nakanyika Kaoma, Mubanga Mpundu
Zambia’s agricultural sector like many African countries is dominated by smallholder farmers living below the US$1.9 poverty line. Smallholder farmers are a very critical heterogeneous group in the global agricultural productivity as they supply sufficient food now and in the future. The Farmer Input Support Program (FISP) has continued to target the productivity of smallholder farmers to deal with poverty alleviation without consideration of farmers’ resources, incentives, aspirations, and capa...

Regression Modelling of Electricity Distribution Statistics and Stock Exchange Market Capitalisation in a Developing Country: Evidence from Botswana (2012-2021)

Tapiwa Gande
The stock exchange and its performance are important indicators of the economic health of an economy. Electricity generation capacity supports industrialisation. National electricity distribution on the other hand, however, even when mediated with electricity imports to augment a low generation capacity, can complicate both manufacturing and non-manufacturing companies’ desire to operate in an economy which is attempting to industrialise. This is compounded if generation is not matched to consum...

Is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) a Reliable Indicator of the Economic Growth and Future Economy of the United States of America?

Krzysztof Bryniuk
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the most common indicator used to measure economic growth. It is calculated by adding up all the expenditures in an economy from production, consumption, and government spending. This common indicator is still used by mainstream economists. However, it has been shown that this indicator does not accurately represent economic growth because it fails to consider many additional factors including diminishing industries and services, inadequate income distribution...
