This study delves into the complex link between financial inclusion—both traditional and digital—and economic growth across emerging economies from 1990 to 2022, using Dynamic Simulated ARDL and Driscoll-Kraay Standard Error techniques. Key findings highlight that traditional financial inclusion correlates positively with economic growth, whereas digital financial inclusion presents obstacles. Additionally, fiscal, monetary, and trade policies play vital roles: fiscal policies in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico focus on infrastructure, social programs, and tax reforms, respectively, to spur growth. Monetary policies include Brazil's inflation targeting, Turkey's interest rate adjustments, and India's MUDRA scheme, which promotes entrepreneurship. Trade policies, such as Chile's Free Trade Agreements and Mexico's participation in NAFTA, improve market access and economic resilience, while Egypt and Saudi Arabia focus on foreign direct investment and economic diversification.

The study emphasizes coordinated policy efforts for sustained growth, advocating for financial inclusion supported by robust regulations and government investments in critical areas like infrastructure and healthcare. Central banks contribute by maintaining price stability and credit access, while strategic trade agreements and export diversification enhance economic resilience. The focus of the study on emerging economies and macro-level insights calls for further research at the micro-level to refine these results. By maintaining policy coherence and regular evaluations, these strategies aim to foster inclusive, long-term economic growth.

This study investigates the evolution of sustainable palm oil policies in Indonesia through a historical institutionalism framework, tracing the influence of both domestic institutional developments and global dynamics on the sustainability trajectory of the palm oil sector, focusing on the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) initiative. Employing longitudinal content analysis, this research examines institutional frameworks from 1957 to 2022, identifying patterns of institutional continuity and change, as well as how path dependency and critical junctures have shaped policy development. Utilizing a combination of primary and secondary data—including thirteen interviews, seven archived interview videos, four focus group discussions, and 143 document archives—this analysis thematically codes qualitative data to uncover key themes related to institutional change and sustainability pathways. Findings reveal that the institutionalization of sustainable palm oil in Indonesia is shaped by both exogenous and endogenous dynamics; international pressures and the emergence of global sustainability networks have prompted shifts in national institutional arrangements, while domestic political forces and commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have facilitated gradual institutional transformations. The ISPO certification embodies these changes, reflecting a synthesis of existing regulations and illustrating the path-dependent nature of sustainability policies. This research contributes to the literature on institutional change and offers insights for policymakers aiming to design effective strategies that stimulate sustainable practices in the palm oil industry.

Although water is a vital finite resource for sustaining life, it is under constant pressure from anthropogenic activities. Among the different types of surface water, lakes are particularly difficult to restore once water quality deteriorates due to their hydrological cycles and complex dynamics. This study compares policy implementation and its relationship to water quality improvement through spatio-temporal variation for two lakes in Japan: Lake Biwa and Lake Teganuma. We divided the analysis time frame into three periods to assess how the timing of policy implementation has affected the water quality and ecosystem services. Lake Biwa is an iconic and vital water resource in the region, and its conservation has been led by citizens and strong leadership from the governor since the 1960s. On the other hand, efforts to conserve the environment of Lake Teganuma began in the 1970s, and legislation played an important role in initiating and implementing the governance framework. The comparison of these two cases shows that while the efforts of subnational government and citizen are as powerful as legislation in protecting the lake environment, special legislation can guide subnational governments in establishing the necessary governance framework that fits local conditions and goals. Achieving regional sustainability in a human-environment system requires policy planning that goes beyond silo thinking, and this study clearly shows that cooperation between multilevel governments and relevant stakeholders, including citizens, is essential. The findings provide policy-relevant practical lessons in the quest for sustainable lake management.

In developing economies, rural households send their members to urban areas to cope with idiosyncratic shocks by sharing resources through internal remittances, which are more prevalent than international remittances. However, there is limited evidence on the role of internal remittances in risk-sharing against aggregate shocks. We analyze the seven-round panel of 723 urban migrant workers paired with their rural families in Bangladesh, covering the pre- and post-lockdown period for COVID-19. During the lockdown, urban migrants and their rural families experienced substantial income losses, particularly severe in urban areas. Our event study analysis suggests that urban migrants and their rural families coped with the aggregate income shock by sharing resources through internal remittances rather than relying on other shock-coping strategies, including selling assets or borrowing from neighbors. Although the travel restrictions prevented urban migrants from carrying remittances by hand, they could continue sending remittances via mobile money, mitigating the negative impact on the welfare of rural families. Moreover, by reducing the amount of remittances they had to send, urban migrants also mitigated their welfare loss. Together, they could fully smooth food consumption and partially smooth general consumption. We support our argument with a novel machine-learning technique.

Climate and environmental impacts of green recovery: Evidence from the financial crisis

World Development Sustainability

Pub Date : 2024-12-17 DOI: 10.1016/j.wds.2024.100194

While main goal of stimulus packages is to boost economic activity after a crisis, they may also affect environmental outcomes. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether incorporating green components into such packages affects the environment and to identify whether any effects are only temporary or affect countries’ trajectories towards a sustainable low-carbon economy. We compile a panel dataset covering 27 OECD countries from 2000–2019 to analyse green recovery packages launched in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Based in this dataset, we can investigate both short- and long-term impacts of green recovery packages on the climate, i.e., mitigation investments and greenhouse gas emissions, and the earth’s biocapacity. Using fixed effects estimation, we find that higher shares of green recovery spending induce lower CO₂ emissions and a smaller ecological footprint of production. Employing a difference-in-differences framework, we provide evidence for a causal effect of recovery programmes dedicated to renewable energy on renewable energy investments. All these effects persist in the post-recovery periods. These findings stress that policymakers should consider the long-term impacts of post-crisis recovery programmes to ensure their consistency with the transition towards a sustainable climate-neutral economy.

Boosting trade in environmental goods. Evidence from provisions in free trade agreements

World Development Sustainability

Pub Date : 2024-12-16 DOI: 10.1016/j.wds.2024.100195

Environmentally friendly goods and techniques such are essential for the transition to a greener economy. Trade policy can help support the global diffusion of these goods and technologies by removing barriers to trade, lowering the cost of the green transition for consumers, firms, and governments. This paper investigates the effectiveness of trade agreements that specifically aim to boost and facilitate trade in these environmental goods. Using a gravity model, we find that these trade agreements are not associated with increased trade in environmental goods. Trade flows between countries that have a free trade agreement with so-called environmental goods provisions are not higher than between countries without such an agreement.

Low agricultural productivity in developing countries is attributed towards the low and inefficient use of chemical fertilizers. Fertilizer demonstrations have been a useful extension tool to change the farmers’ awareness and perception towards the right use of fertilizer application. About 180 fertilizer demonstrations (demos) on rice and maize were conducted in farmers field in 2017 and 2018 in western Nepal to promote the 4R nutrient stewardship that incorporates the right fertilizer source at the right rate, at the right time, and in the right place including the best management practices. Household surveys were conducted in 2018 and 2019 after the successful completion of fertilizer demonstrations. We assess the determinants of farmers’ participation in fertilizer demos and estimates its impact on fertilizer adoption, agricultural performance, and food security in Nepal. Our doubly robust impact evaluation approach accounts for non-random patterns of use of hybrid varieties, higher seed replacement rates, and proximity to the demo plots (within one kilometer of demo site). Farmers who participated in demos have higher fertilizer adoption rate and were more likely to use balanced fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium). Results indicate that the demo participation would lead to significantly increase rice productivity, household maize consumption and agriculture commercialization. Agriculture policy should underscore in organizing the demos to promote the best nutrient management practices and sustain agricultural production and ensure food security. However, such demos should also be located near to the poor, who use less advanced agronomic practices, or in other locations to those traditionally chosen for demonstration plots to ensure the productivity gains by poor and marginal households.

This paper explores the impacts of politically empowering women on the connection between health occupation workforce (HOW) and inclusive growth (IG) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) over the period 2000–2019. Results show that: (a) HOW, women's political empowerment (WPE) and their combined effect positively associate with a growth process that redistributes opportunities in both the short-and long-term; and (b) there is a partial mediation effect of WPE on the association between HOW and IG in SSA. Our findings support commitment towards stepping-up politically empowering women as a lever towards increasing the effect of HOW on IG.

Traditional techniques have been used in fish farming in Bangladesh since ancient times. However, nowadays the adoption of modern technologies in fish farming in Bangladesh has revolutionized the industry. The goal of this research was to investigate the factors that influence fish farmers' decisions to accept new technologies for aquaculture and to ascertain the degree to which fish farmers have adopted these new technologies. A total of 101 fish farmers in the Trishal Upazila of the Mymensingh district were randomly selected and interviewed using a structured interview schedule. The research found that most of the sample fish farmers were middle to old-aged, had small farm sizes, and earned low to medium income. A significant number of fish farmers didn't receive any training, and about half of them had moderate farming experience. The majority of respondents in this survey had average levels of extended media interaction, organizational engagement, and fish farming expertise. Based on the statistics, we can deduce that 46.53 % of fish farmers made minimal use of some fish farming technology, while 20.79 % used them very little, and 32.67 % utilized them extensively. From the list of eleven socio-demographic characteristics, adopting modern aquaculture technologies was positively and significantly correlated with education, farm size, annual fish farming income, experience, and knowledge of fish farming. The most significant positive link was seen between fish farming experience and adoption. The survey revealed that financial stress, lack of adequate training, market instability, and resource deficits are the major obstacles to modern aquaculture technology adoption, while cultural resistance is the least significant. These factors collectively slow the progress of modernizing fish farming in Bangladesh, despite the potential benefits of improved yields and sustainability. Hence, by resolving these issues, the study area will have more space to employ advanced aquaculture technologies, paving the way to sustainable fish farming in Bangladesh.

孟加拉国自古以来就采用传统的养鱼技术。然而，如今孟加拉国养鱼业采用了现代技术，使该行业发生了革命性的变化。本研究的目的是调查影响养鱼户决定接受水产养殖新技术的因素，并确定养鱼户采用这些新技术的程度。随机选择了Mymensingh地区Trishal Upazila的101名养鱼户，并使用结构化访谈时间表进行了访谈。研究发现，样本养殖户大多是中老年，农场规模小，收入中低收入。相当多的养鱼户没有接受过任何培训，其中约一半人有中等的养殖经验。在这项调查中，大多数受访者都有平均水平的媒体互动、组织参与和养鱼专业知识。通过统计，我们可以推断出46.53%的养殖户很少使用某些养鱼技术，20.79%的养殖户很少使用这些技术，32.67%的养殖户广泛使用这些技术。从11个社会人口特征来看，采用现代水产养殖技术与受教育程度、养殖场规模、年养鱼收入、经验和养鱼知识呈正相关。最显著的正相关关系出现在养鱼经验和收养之间。调查显示，财政压力、缺乏足够的培训、市场不稳定和资源短缺是采用现代水产养殖技术的主要障碍，而文化阻力是最不重要的。这些因素共同减缓了孟加拉国鱼类养殖现代化的进展，尽管提高产量和可持续性可能带来好处。因此，通过解决这些问题，研究区域将有更大的空间采用先进的水产养殖技术，为孟加拉国的可持续养鱼铺平道路。

However, nowadays the adoption of modern technologies in fish farming in Bangladesh has revolutionized the industry. The goal of this research was to investigate the factors that influence fish farmers' decisions to accept new technologies for aquaculture and to ascertain the degree to which fish farmers have adopted these new technologies. A total of 101 fish farmers in the Trishal Upazila of the Mymensingh district were randomly selected and interviewed using a structured interview schedule. The research found that most of the sample fish farmers were middle to old-aged, had small farm sizes, and earned low to medium income. A significant number of fish farmers didn't receive any training, and about half of them had moderate farming experience. The majority of respondents in this survey had average levels of extended media interaction, organizational engagement, and fish farming expertise. Based on the statistics, we can deduce that 46.53 % of fish farmers made minimal use of some fish farming technology, while 20.79 % used them very little, and 32.67 % utilized them extensively. From the list of eleven socio-demographic characteristics, adopting modern aquaculture technologies was positively and significantly correlated with education, farm size, annual fish farming income, experience, and knowledge of fish farming. The most significant positive link was seen between fish farming experience and adoption. The survey revealed that financial stress, lack of adequate training, market instability, and resource deficits are the major obstacles to modern aquaculture technology adoption, while cultural resistance is the least significant. These factors collectively slow the progress of modernizing fish farming in Bangladesh, despite the potential benefits of improved yields and sustainability. Hence, by resolving these issues, the study area will have more space to employ advanced aquaculture technologies, paving the way to sustainable fish farming in Bangladesh.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101285,"journal":{"name":"World Development Sustainability","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142748234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
