The objective of this article is to show the vulnerability of economic growth in Africa to external shocks, relative to other regions of the developing world. Moreover, we tried to explain this vulnerability theoretically and empirically. The main explanatory factors are; domestic demand, the level of development of the financial system and the quality of exports. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As this article is less about charity per se than it is about the relationships between place and institutional policies of benevolence, my intention is to look at how practices and laws of public charity operated in a city whose economic and social geography was changing after 1700, when the streets were populated with vulnerable people driven into poverty and when the subjects of pauperism and poor laws “engaged the attention of the legislature with increasing frequency” (Purdy 287). This article looks at the modus operandi of private and public philanthropic societies in eighteenth-century London in order to observe how both religious- and secular-driven charitable societies were motivated by the same goal of social reform, whether prompted by the Enlightenment or religious values. While the notion of Pietas Londinensis indicated the existence of various operating charities and casual philanthropic acts in the London area, charitable institutions had not been set up until the eighteenth century. In late Stuart and Georgian Britain charitable, London was shaped both by economic forces and by the various cultural meanings people attached to its space, and this new paradigm transferred all matters concerning the poor from parochial obligation to civic responsibility. The article will focus on the mechanisms which made this transfer possible while considering acts of public charity and philanthropic societies that emerged in the long eighteenth century, from hospitals and infirmaries to almshouses and charity schools, with a view to observing the changes in English mentality as a result of charitable activity.

The movement for a "sustainable" or "convivial" degrowth of the economy in our societies has been gaining momentum for almost twenty years. This movement, in addition to criticizing the pursuit of economic growth, espouses three key principles: produce less, share more, and decide together (Abraham, 2019). But how can such a course of action be implemented in practice? One way, according to the "growth objectors," is to try to organize our subsistence within the framework of the commons. Accomplishing this objective is less a question of inventing a new form of social life than of rediscovering one that, despite having been marginalized, has never ceased to exist. For this purpose, we can draw inspiration from remarkable initiatives like the Milton Parc community in Montreal, which for over thirty years has provided housing for 1,500 people in a way that is entirely consistent with the principles of degrowth.

The object of this work is to analyze economic growth in African countries. The approach followed consists in using recent developments in econometrics of non-stationary panel data to examine the relationship between the industrial sector and economic growth for a sample of 10 African countries during the period (1995-2015), distinguished in two panels. From a theoretical point of view, economic theory confirms the importance of the contribution of the industrial sector in economic growth. The results of our empirical verifications have shown that there is indeed a positive and statistically significant effect of the level of industrialization on economic growth in these two groups of countries.

This work focuses on the relationship between governance and inclusive economic growth in Tunisia over the period 1996-2017. The Inclusive Growth Index is based on appropriate indicators from Mckinley (2010). The composite index was constructed on a weighted score for each year from 1996 to 2017. The sum of all indicator scores for each year provides the inclusive composite index for the year. In this case, by applying the technique of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) we have constructed an aggregate indicator of governance. The index was also constructed based on a number of structural and political changes in the Tunisian economy in terms of inclusive growth in relation to these changes. To conclude, the results of VECM clearly show the existence of a relationship between governance and inclusive economic growth in Tunisia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Nachtigal hydroelectric dam project is part of Cameroon structuring projects whose implementation in the medium term will boost the country's economic growth and contribute to its emergence in 2035. However, as many projects of this scale, its achievement will involve the involuntary movement of people and goods. The aim of this action is huge and multiple socio-economic consequences. This study aims to study the socio-economic indicators of populations impacted to analyze the socio-economic impacts of involuntary displacement envisaged following the construction of the hydroelectric dam Nachtigal. The various readings and surveys and field observations, as well as interviews with various actors in planning show that socioeconomic consequences of these operations are real, and can be serious if consistent and relevant measures are not taken to counteract them. Furthermore, various investigations show that the project will directly affect three departments and will impact systematically assigns those goods or making use of the resources on this grip. For planners, the goal is that the commissioning of this work ranges between 2020 and 2021 while donors specify that neat measures should be considered and applied so that the living standards of impacted populations or improved or at least kept to that before the project.

This paper examines, in the context of MENA region, the impact of information and communication technology on the growth and dynamics of international income inequality. It checks whether the technology could be a means reducing the income gap between these countries from developed countries or contrary it allows increasing it, and examine the inter-relationship between ICT and economic growth. The results highlight the non-existence of a causal relationship between ICT investment and economic growth and emphasize a key role of ICT in increasing the international gap between the countries of MENA and OECD countries.

The objective of this paper is to determine the factors affecting the level of insurance using different models and econometric techniques on data for the period 1974- 2011. The results of the MCO indicate that the real density depends positively on real GDP per capita, the liquidity ratio and the life expectancy and negatively on the level of study. The test of Granger causality does not indicate a causal relationship between the real density and real GDP per capita. The application of the VECM indicates the presence of long and short-term relationship between actual density and GDP per capita. premiums, in Algeria, and especially to analyze the causal relationship between the insurance sector and economic growth, [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we aim to examine the multidimensional nature of the political instability in developing countries and to derive new measures of political instability. To this end, we use a principal components analysis on a set of 25 indicators of political instability for 114 developing countries. We arrived to detect four dimensions of political instability, namely; the level of democracy, violence and politically motivated protest, the effects of neighboring countries, and instability in government.

This article provides an empirical analysis of intra-industry trade in the developing regions (Middle East, Europe C / O, NPI, Latin America and Africa) with the rest of the world and with developed countries in the period 1993-2001 similarities and differences of trade relations in these regions are analyzed using the index Grubel-Lloyd (GL). We note that different estimation methods yield different results, and the relationship between trade openness and growth is far from simple and needs to be treated with great caution.

Poverty is a multidimensional problem which presents many faces and it is no longer restricted to the lack of income. It is a subject that worries economists and policy makers which seek the best ways to fight against and reduce its magnitude. Our work fits into this framework and its objectives is to contribute to the debate on the role of economic growth, public spending and generational relations in alleviation poverty in Tunisia using a multidimensional approach. To do it, we develop, first of all, the state of the literature on these topics. Then, we study the incidence of these factors on four dimensions of poverty relating exclusively to health and education. The study period spans the years 1970-2012. The results findings highlight the particular importance of adult's human capital in poverty alleviation in Tunisia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of our work is to show the importance of a healthy institutional framework in the finance-growth relation. In this context, we start by presenting, a theoretical lighting on this subject while trying to define the concept of the governorship and to determine its various measurements. Then, we empirically test a model of growth of Solow increased by the human capital to treating the relation between financial intermediation, institutions and economic growth. The various estimates were made by Vector Autoregressive Method over the period of 1980 to 2011 for Tunisia. Following these estimates, it seems that the quality of the institutions is regarded as an important factor which must not be neglected in the study of the relation between the financial sphere and the real sphere.

The object of this work consists in analyzing economic growth in African countries. We have three main results that were generated from this work. First, we explain how industrial development can achieve strong and sustained economic growth in African countries. Secondly, concerning economic performances, the African countries achieved a great improvement during the last decade and show very important potential. They should strengthen reforms in a process of structural transformation focused on the development of the manufacturing sector. Finally, on using a panel model for two samples of 4 North African countries and 26 Sub-Saharan African countries covering the period (1982-2009), we confirmed the positive and statistically significant effect of industrialization on sustained economic growth.

In Algeria, better macroeconomic indicators and structural reforms in numerous areas have not induced a lasting economic growth. The results are mixed or even insufficient compared to countries of similar level of development but which have not been endowed with the same resources (oil revenues). Moreover, factors of economic vulnerability (weaker export diversification, worsening of the dependence of the balance of payments and the budget on oil revenues and bigger state role in the economy) have increased. The issue of economic recovery endeavours made by the government to spur real growth dynamics is definitely an effective way of making use of oil revenues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the relationship between the financial system and economic growth in 22 developing countries between 1990 and 2009. The empirical work uses the panel techniques. The results are as follows: the financial system as a whole, intermediaries and markets are positively correlated with economic growth in those countries. The results demonstrate also the important role of financial intermediation in financing economic growth. Indeed, despite the fact that financial markets stimulate the growth of developing countries, their size and activity remains embryonic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After a calm which lasted more than two decades, a reflection is led by authorities to introduce a development policy to catch up the lost time and position the Algerian industry in structurants segments and with great potential of growth. It is about the application of a real strategy of industrial restructuring which privileges the use in common competence and favours especially the innovation. In the main of the preoccupations, we find well obviously the growth, the competitiveness and the attractiveness. So, authorities decided to react to the phenomenon of deindustrialization which made fallen the part of the industry in the GDP from 15 % to 3 %. It is necessary to agree that in front of national and international alterations Algeria which has considerable trump cards let make by contenting itself of outside without reciprocity. The new strategy is similar in fact to a new development policy which bases enter on the poles of competitiveness, spinal column of this strategy. The promotion of the poles of competitiveness which is the French declension of "clusters" or technological clusters gains(wins) all the countries and stands out as new model of economic development. The analysis of the conditions of success implies to hold(retain) the necessity of a commitment in the sectors of high technology and the necessary local link(coming together) between the worlds of the knowledge, the search(research) and the companies. These cooperations are centred on the exchanges and the mutualization of the experiences of the knowledge: research, training, advices and material, human resources and infrastructures on the basis of a voluntary and joint action of the actors who are the main regulators.

The article focuses on major stages of the labor movement in Quebec since the beginning of the century by situating them in the economic, social and political context of each period. It mentions long depression of the 1880s and 1890s gave way to an almost uninterrupted period of economic expansion and inflation until the post-war depression. It also mentions hydro-electric powers and new industries, which took great advantage of cheap electricity and natural resources.

The article discusses the economic growth resurgence in developing countries. Topics include the financial crisis and its impact on Asian countries such as China, statistics on Chinas' Gross domestic product (GDP), and how it could impact countries in that are part of the international economic organization called Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Also discussed are economist Jim O'Neill's theory and his use of the term BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China.)
