The principal purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between policy rates and domestic debt in Ghana. Utilizing a time series data, the study adopted the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) for result analysis. Over the long run, domestic debt was found to have a negative impact on monetary policy rate, with the reverse observed for the short run. However, both models yielded statistically insignificant results. Nevertheless, the study revealed a statistically significant relationship between inflation and real GDP with the monetary policy rate in the long run, indicating a positive and negative impact, respectively. In the short run, only inflation was found to be statistically significant. The study's findings and analysis were found to be reliable as there was no evidence of serial correlation or heteroskedasticity in the model. In the end, the study was able to address a crucial gap in the literature on public debt by primarily investigating the influence of domestic debt on monetary policy rate in Ghana.

Tax revenues are important income sources for governments in most countries. because of the shortage of full tax compliance, government budgets are unbalanced in most countries, and therefore the gap between revenue and expenditure is increasing. the main question that was trying to answer during this paper was “why do taxpayers evade taxes?” The study was designed to spot the determinants of evasion (focusing on category “A”) on government income in East Addis Ababa. A structured questionnaire was accustomed collect data from a sample of 371 taxpayers who were selected by employing a non-random sampling technique. A binary logistic regression model was employed to research the info and therefore the results of the study revealed that there's a statistically significant association between evasion and eight determinant variables (tax education, service quality, tax rate, income level, and fairness of legal system, financial Constraint, audit, and penalty). evasion has positively suffered from the rate, income level, audit, and fairness of the legal system and is negatively influenced by financial Constraints, tax education, service quality, and penalty. supported the finding of the study the subsequent policy recommendations are forwarded. These are the government should reduce the rate, and therefore the tax delivery system should be automated to make sure efficiency and quality delivery among money others.

Kenya, like many other countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, still has problems with poverty, inequality, health, education, and environmental concerns, all of which limit its capacity for full human progress. The aim of this study was to analyse the human development of Kenya using the HDI index. HDI is a composite measurement of human well-being that includes data on life expectancy, income, and education. This study specifically analyzed the trends in HDI of Kenya since 2012 to 2022 and compared it with other countries in East African Community. A multidimensional concept was investigated using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The research of human development was concentrated on Kenya and the countries of the East Africa Community, basing on secondary data from existing Governmental and Non-Governmental publications. The geometric mean of the normalised indices for life expectancy, GNI, and education makes up the HDI. The life expectancy at birth is used to evaluate the health dimension, while the mean number of years spent in school for persons 25 years and older and the anticipated number of years spent in school for young children are used to evaluate the education dimension. The measure of the standard of life is the gross national income per person. Kenya is a country with a medium level of human development, ranked 152nd out of 189 nations in 2022 with HDI of 0.598. A number of factors, including inequalities, influence the HID in Kenya. The results of this analysis highlight Kenya's accomplishments in terms of human development over the previous ten years. Kenya had the highest HDI score in East African Community, followed by Tanzania and Uganda. For the recommendation the policymakers and stakeholders can apply these findings to design targeted strategies and policies that address regional differences, promote gender equality, and further boost human development in Kenya and East African Community.

More and more, ports are moving towards environmental protection as economic performance is no longer the only criterion for competitiveness. Although contributing to global economic development, port activities can have negative impacts on coastal areas and marine biodiversity. This article presents the actions taken by the Port of San Pedro in the context of sustainable development. A qualitative methodology was used to study the port's sustainable practices, with the environmental manager being interviewed. The results show that the port, as a state authority, implements sustainable practices such as tree planting, environmental impact assessments, and the valorization of port waste into clean energy. In addition, several actions taken have resulted in the port obtaining various ISO certifications. Furthermore, the Port Autonomous de San Pedro is contributing to the momentum for environmental protection.

There is no debate the climate on earth is changing but research conducted by Walters and Djokic (2022) presented evidence that established, studies that attribute pollution or manmade cause and effect in climate change research are based on junk science. The study presented evidence that suggested, scientific data analysis linking manmade causes or pollution to climate change does not exist. Walters and Djokic Quantitative Analysis Factor Distortion Theory expanded Eddison Walters Modern Economic Analysis Theory which was developed by Walters (2020A) and was expanded by Walters and Djokic (2022). Walters and Djokic Quantitative Analysis Factor Distortion Theory which was explained in Walters and Djokic (2022) resulted in proposed changes by the researchers to restore the reliability and creditability of data analysis in scientific research. The researchers called for the implementation of changes to American Psychological Association (APA) standards aimed at avoiding junk science such as research that incorrectly links pollution or manmade causes to climate change without scientific evidence based on scientific data analysis from being accepted into the body of literature as scientific research (Walters, 2020: Walters, 2021; Walters & Djokic, 2022). The foundation of Walters and Djokic Quantitative Analysis Factor Distortion Theory is grounded in the principle, of "all else being equal", which has been a long-established principle for the scientific analysis of data to ensure unknown factors do not distort the results of data analysis. The current study applied the principles of Walter and Djokic Quantitative Analysis Factor Distortion Theory for evaluating the creditability of directing taxpayer resources to green energy policies aimed and reversing climate change. The current study also considered what segment of the population benefits the most from green energy policies and what segment of the population shoulders the cost burden. The current study considered the opportunity cost of allocating taxpayer resources to implement green energy policy by considering challenges facing American taxpayers where the results of investments have quantifiable scientific measurements for successful implementation rather than committing resources to implement green energy policy with no quantifiable scientific measurements for successful implementation
毫无疑问，地球上的气候正在发生变化，但Walters和Djokic(2022)的研究提供的证据表明，将污染或人为因果关系归因于气候变化研究的既定研究是基于垃圾科学。该研究提出的证据表明，不存在将人为原因或污染与气候变化联系起来的科学数据分析。Walters and Djokic定量分析因子扭曲理论是对Walters (2020A)提出的、Walters and Djokic(2022)对其进行扩展的Eddison Walters现代经济分析理论的扩展。Walters和Djokic(2022)中解释的定量分析因子失真理论导致研究人员提出改变，以恢复科学研究中数据分析的可靠性和可信性。研究人员呼吁对美国心理协会(APA)的标准进行修改，以避免垃圾科学(如在没有基于科学数据分析的科学证据的情况下错误地将污染或人为原因与气候变化联系起来的研究)作为科学研究被文献所接受(Walters, 2020; Walters, 2021;沃尔特斯,Djokic, 2022)。Walters和Djokic定量分析因子失真理论的基础是“其他条件都相等”的原则，这是长期以来对数据进行科学分析的原则，以确保未知因素不会扭曲数据分析的结果。目前的研究应用Walter和Djokic定量分析因子扭曲理论的原则来评估引导纳税人资源用于旨在扭转气候变化的绿色能源政策的可信度。目前的研究还考虑了哪一部分人口从绿色能源政策中受益最大，哪一部分人口承担了成本负担。本研究通过考虑美国纳税人面临的挑战来考虑分配纳税人资源来实施绿色能源政策的机会成本，在这种情况下，投资的结果有可量化的科学衡量标准来成功实施，而不是投入资源来实施没有可量化的科学衡量标准来成功实施的绿色能源政策
