Öğe Analysis of macroeconomic determinants and the persistence of income inequality in Africa(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Miraji Ally Simba, Hamis; Radulescu, Magdalena; Gunes, Hakan; Sit, Ahmet; Karadag, Haydar; Sit, MustafaDespite increased efforts to reduce income inequality in African countries, the issue remains significant. Therefore, this study uses proxies of macroeconomic indicators, including foreign direct investment (FDI), real per capita GDP, human capital development (HCAPD), and trade openness, to examine their impact on income inequality (GINI coefficient). To investigate this, balanced panel data from 38 African countries, collected from the World Development Indicator (WDI) between 2005 and 2024, were analyzed. The Driscoll-Kraay and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) approaches were used to assess the effect of macroeconomic indicators on income inequality. The findings indicate a proportional increase in both macroeconomic indicators and income inequality across the selected countries. These results challenge the effectiveness of current efforts to reduce income inequality in Africa. Moreover, the Driscoll-Kraay analysis reveals that foreign direct investment, real per capita GDP, and human capital development have limited effects on reducing income inequality. The results suggest that macroeconomic factors play a limited role in explaining income inequality; therefore, to mitigate rising income inequality, robust and effective macroeconomic policies-such as targeted FDI policies, increasing real per capita income to eradicate poverty, and enhancing human capital development-must be prioritized.Öğe Asymmetric and non-linear pass-through effect of exchange rate on inflation: Evidence from the Fragile Five countries(Elsevier B.V., 2026) Akbas, Yusuf Ekrem; Radulescu, Magdalena; Şit, Ahmet; Belascu, LucianThis study aims to analyze the possible asymmetric and non-linear effects of exchange rate and interest rate on different inflation components in the Fragile Five countries over the period 1980–2023 by using the panel smooth transition regression and panel non-linear ARDL model. As a result of the analysis, in pass-through model where the exchange rate is the threshold variable, it is found that the exchange rate positively affects the consumer prices index and the producer prices index in the high exchange rate regime, but the impact on the consumer prices index is higher. On the other hand, in model where the threshold variable is the interest rate, it is determined that the interest rate negatively affects the consumer prices index and the producer prices index in both the high-interest rate regime and the low-interest rate regime, and this effect is higher on the consumer prices index. © 2026 The Authors.Öğe Rethinking of Government Institutions and Governance Quality Indicators on Economic Growth in Sub-Saharan African Countries(Springer, 2024) Sit, Ahmet; Radulescu, Magdalena; Gunes, Hakan; Simba, Hamis Miraji Ally; Sit, Mustafa; Karadag, HaydarThe study aims to investigate the effect of governance quality on economic growth and government consumption in Sub-Saharan African countries. Balanced dynamic panel data for 36 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2011 to 2022 were analyzed using GMM and Driscoll-Kraay regressions. In addition to the fact that there is no study in the literature that examines the effect of state governance indicators on economic growth in SSA countries, the addition of government consumption variable as a second dependent variable adds originality to the study. The empirical analysis revealed that government institutions have a positive effect and are significant in SSA countries' economic growth. In addition, according to the Driscoll-Kraay regression, it is seen that governments' development of institutions increases government consumptions. The governance indicators threshold that strengthens the government institution in Sub-Sahara Africa must be reached to increase the economic growth of Sub-Sahara Africa. For economic growth, effective government institutions and governance quality policies should be practiced and maintained among the Sub-Saharan African countries.Öğe Rethinking of Government Institutions and Governance Quality Indicators on Economic Growth in Sub-Saharan African Countries (Jun, 10.1007/s13132-024-02040-6, 2024)(Springer, 2024) Sit, Ahmet; Radulescu, Magdalena; Gunes, Hakan; Simba, Hamis Miraji Ally; Sit, Mustafa; Karadag, Haydar[Abstract Not Available]
