We observe the relationship and causality between cryptocurrencies on one, and commodities, currencies, equity indexes and web search results on the other side. We use prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum for cryptocurrencies, prices of crude oil and gold for commodities, Euro-US Dollar, Euro-Swiss Franc exchange rates for currencies, Dow Jones Industrial Average for market index and Google Trends® data as a measure of worldwide web search results for cryptocurrencies of interest. We find that Bitcoin and web search results correlation went from highly positive to low negative during the COVID-19 period. The results of the study show that the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum can be modelled using different combinations of commodities, currencies, indexes and web search results, with web search results and Dow Jones Industrial Average exhibiting best predictive power both concurrently and one day in advance. Our best performing models were able to explain more than 95% and 90% of Bitcoin and Ethereum price variability respectively. We also find strong evidence of web search traffic impacting both Bitcoin and Ethereum prices at all tested lags, as well as some evidence of gold impact on Bitcoin and EUR/CHF impact on Ethereum.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the theory of market efficiency and verify if their characteristics and principals are applied to the digital capital market based on blockchain technology, such as initial coin offerings (ICOs). Indeed, this work presents a comparative approach between the efficient capital market principals and the fundamentals of ICOs based on a documentary and qualitative analysis of the scientific literature and ICOs professional reports concerning the most relevant keywords related to the conceptual framework of market efficiency. As a result, we conclude according to our comparative conceptual model that ICOs market based on smart contract has many similarities with the efficient capital market where the self-regulation is the rule and each investor has free access to relevant information, and then all transactions are executed in such trust and transparency. Moreover, many factors such as regulation and institutional disclosure, liquidity and systemic risk have a significant impact on the market efficiency according to the scientific literature and professional experiences.

The non-oil producing Arab countries of the Middle East and North Africa are suffering from chronic high unemployment rates, especially among the youth. The availability of affordable and secure financial services is considered as one of the pillars for generating economic growth, stimulating job creation and reducing unemployment. This study investigates the link between financial inclusion and unemployment in non-oil exporting Arab countries. This is done via estimating an index for financial inclusion from 2008 to 2018 for Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia based on the methodology developed by Sarma. The estimated index reveals an overall average-to-low level of financial inclusion. The effect of financial inclusion on unemployment is then tested based on a modified version of Okun's law. The results of a random effect model reveal a significant negative effect both of financial inclusion and of real output growth on unemployment.

The aim of this article is to develop a process that can emulate inclusive growth through the implementation of financial technology. Inclusive growth is conceived in this work as an extension of basic economic rights to access vital networks and services. Thus, FinTech is seen as one of the essential catalysts to increase the productivity of two billion underbanked people and therefore it can serve as a springboard towards inclusive growth. The study of the experience of Taobao in China made it possible to verify this observation through the inclusion of rural populations allowing them to diversify their activity and to contribute significantly to the increase of Chinese rural GDP. The same goes for Kenya with M-Pesa allowing 77% of adult Kenyans to access banking services and therefore ensure them a formal and structured integration into economic life.
