The purpose of this paper on “Seme Border Closure and Nigeria’s Trading Partners in Africa” aimed at exploring the dynamics of the Nigeria’s land borders closure with Benin Republic as it affected her trading partners in Africa. Methodology adopted was descriptive design that relied on judgmental sampling technique. Secondary data (books, journal articles, monographs, internet materials etc) were sourced in Nigerian libraries and subjected to content validity before analyzing it qualitatively. Result of the findings revealed that smuggling of rice and petroleum product, including insecurity are the major reasons Nigeria closed land border with her immediate neighbour, Benin Republic. The closure has led to an increase in revenue accrued to the federation account and increase local rice production and consumption. Regrettably, it fostered inflation in Nigeria, triggered hardship in Benin Republic and prompted retaliatory measure from Ghana. Most importantly, the land border closure negated the essence of Nigeria being a signatory to the Economic community of West African States as well as a signatory to African Continental Free Trade Area. These findings have contributed to the understanding and further explanation of the Theory of Mercantilism. Nigeria cannot survive in isolation; hence, the paper recommends domestic policy adjustment that focuses on interest free loan to local producers as well as establishment of Joint Border Guard with immediate neighbours. These measures would lead to growth and development not land border closure that isolates Nigeria from the comity of nations and further denies her the benefit of globalization.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the contribution of National Image, Business Climate, and Technology Transfer to FDI among Sub-Saharan Africa nations. Methodology: This study was based on positivism approach and study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. The population of the study was all of SSA 46 countries and a census survey of all the countries in SSA was done hence no sampling was done. Both primary and secondary data were used in the study. A structured research questionnaire was used in collecting primary data. The questionnaire was administered to the Heads of Foreign Missions of each of the 46 SSA countries in Kenya. Secondary data was used for data on FDI obtained from the UNCTAD publications. Data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Testing of hypothesis was done through Adjusted R2 F-ratio test (Analysis of Variance) and regression of the coefficient. Results: The study established the synergistic contributions of national image, business climate and technology transfer to FDI among Sub-Saharan Africa countries. Adjusted R square shows that the overall model explained 88.5% of changes in FDI. The overall model was also statistically significant (F= 95.709, p-value< .05). The influence of individual variables was statistically significant for business climate (B= 1.240, p-value< .05) and technology transfer (B= .540, p-value< .05) and not statistically significant for national image (B= .282, p-value> .05). Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The findings of this study support the need for Sub-Saharan Africa countries to create a national image individually as countries and as a block as this will go a long way in attracting FDI which will eventually translate to economic development. It is therefore prudent for countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to understand the national image dimensions in the regional context in order to carry out frequent analysis and develop strategic approaches relevant to their FDI competitiveness.

The transmission of volatility shocks in two prominent South Asian markets is analysed to identify whether shocks in these markets overlap and are associated with any global or national events. This study attempts to provide an insight into the interdependence between these markets and their interaction with the US market. The data is analysed using multiple methods. First, the iterated cumulative sum of squares (ICSS) algorithm is employed to determine shocks in the returns series and then examined to understand their domestic/global scope. A modified version of GARCH (1, 1), is used to determine the impact of events on volatility persistence. The study reveals that the shocks in important stock indices associate mostly with country-specific or regional political and/or economic events. The assimilation of shocks in the GARCH (1, 1) model improves the volatility measures only in two of the candidate markets.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the causes of substandard imported products on the Zambian markets and also to find solutions in order to eradicate causes of these products from the country. Methodology: The study collected primary data using questionnaires to 43 experts at Zambia Bureau of Standards and Zambia Compulsory Standards Agency responsible for quality assurance of imported products into the country. The study also collected data from 150 consumers of imported products around the city of Lusaka using questionnaires. Experts at ZABS were all selected for the study while the consumers of imported products were sampled purposively. Since the target population was known, the study used Glens and Israel (1992) table and at 95% confidence level with a margin of error of 10% in coming up with the sample size of 150. Data analysis involved descriptive statistical analysis, summarized and presented in tables showing frequencies and percentages using IBM statistical package for social science version 21 as an analytical tool. Correlation analysis was used to determine the nature of the relationship between variables. Findings: The study revealed that substandard imported products are rife on the Zambian markets and causes include lack of testing facilities at border towns, inadequate funding to agencies mandated to prevent entrance of substandard imported products and porous borders. The study further found that inadequate consumers’ disposable incomes and insufficient consumers’ awareness on quality were also some leading motivations behind consumers buying substandard imported products. The study did not only end at identifying the causes of substandard imported products but went further to identify strategies to this vice which included increasing consumers sensitization programs on quality, increasing testing facilities at border towns, setting up stronger border protection and testing imported products from their countries of origin. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study concludes that combating substandard imported products will increase operations of local industries and with this increased operation of local industries, the level of unemployment in the country will reduce and this will in turn result into increased revenue for the government from this increased tax base. Furthermore, the study concludes that the country will have a productive population because people will be consuming quality products unlike these harmful to human health substandard products which are not regulated by any international approved standards when being produced. In view of the above, the study recommends stiffer legal framework on importers of substandard imported products, increased testing facilities at Zambia Bureau of Standards and increased funding to Zambia Bureau of Standards for operational efficiency as some of the measures to be implemented to curb the vice of substandard imported products on the Zam

Purpose: The issue of exchange rate volatility and maternal mortality rate has rarely been considered in a single study by research scholars and economists over the years as very few, if any empirical studies have been carried out to explain the relationship between these two variables. Consequently, this study used an empirical examination to ascertain if there exists a relationship between exchange rate volatility and maternal mortality rate.Findings: The results indicated that exchange rate and maternal mortality rate both have negative impacts on each other which is statistically significant. Also, the female education enrolment reduces maternal mortality rate while the recurrent health expenditure causes it to rise, albeit not statistically significant.Contributions to theory, policy and practice: The study, therefore, recommends that the foreign exchange control policies must prioritize both foreign sector and domestic balance of the economy. The government should also focus on capital health expenditure as well as encouraging policies that will encourage female education enrolment in Nigeria.
