Abstract

The advent of Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches (PCCs) in Ghana since the early 20th century has significantly impacted its religious landscape. Migration of members from the Church has become a great source of worry for the leadership of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG), a Historic Mission Church which is 191 years old with less than one million members. This article discusses factors for migration of members from Historic Mission Churches (HMCs) to PCCs with reference to the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG). This requires that Historic Mission Churches should train laity to become the active components of the Church. Also, baptismal candidates should be given the option to choose the type of baptism they prefer to resolve the issue of members migrating to PCCs to seek baptism or rebaptism by immersion. Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article contributes to the interdisciplinary dialogue on mission and church growth, with emphasis on migration. It provides missiological implication and reflection on the missional vocation of the church.

Abstract

Analysing push and pull determinants of capital flows has become increasingly important with global financial crisis. Namely, global financial crisis has shown that large and volatile capital flows can pose risks, especially, for small and open economies. In this paper we are particularly interested to analyse the vulnerability of capital flows in country with limited monetary policy. We are focused on Montenegro, the country that unilaterally adopted euro in 2002 and regained independence in 2006. Since then, Montenegro has become very attractive for investments and has received significant amounts of foreign capital. Thus, in this paper we are assessing how global shocks could be dangerous for such a small open economy. In addition, we are interested in investigating whether domestic factors can influence capital flows due to the full euroization. In order to answer these questions, we have applied structural vector autoregressive model of the determinants of two main components of capital flows, foreign direct investments and portfolio investments separately, using quarterly data from 2005 to 2017. We provide evidence that mainly push factors, such as foreign output, interest rates and euro area risk sentiment, significantly explain the variation of capital flows. Furthermore, domestic factors are found to play little role for capital flow developments in Montenegro.

Analysing push and pull determinants of capital flows has become increasingly important with global financial crisis. Namely, global financial crisis has shown that large and volatile capital flows can pose risks, especially, for small and open economies. In this paper we are particularly interested to analyse the vulnerability of capital flows in country with limited monetary policy. We are focused on Montenegro, the country that unilaterally adopted euro in 2002 and regained independence in 2006. Since then, Montenegro has become very attractive for investments and has received significant amounts of foreign capital. Thus, in this paper we are assessing how global shocks could be dangerous for such a small open economy. In addition, we are interested in investigating whether domestic factors can influence capital flows due to the full euroization. In order to answer these questions, we have applied structural vector autoregressive model of the determinants of two main components of capital flows, foreign direct investments and portfolio investments separately, using quarterly data from 2005 to 2017. We provide evidence that mainly push factors, such as foreign output, interest rates and euro area risk sentiment, significantly explain the variation of capital flows. Furthermore, domestic factors are found to play little role for capital flow developments in Montenegro., S globalnom financijskom krizom, sve veća pozornost usmjerena je na analiziranje internih i eksternih faktora koji utječu na tokove kapitala. Naime, globalna financijska kriza pokazala je da veliki i promjenljivi tokovi kapitala mogu biti rizični posebno za mala i otvorena gospodarstva. U radu se osobito analizira ranjivost tokova kapitala u zemlji s ograničenom monetarnom politikom. Usredotočeni smo na Crnu Goru, zemlju koja je jednostrano usvojila euro 2002. godine i ponovno stekla neovisnost 2006. godine. Od tada, Crna Gora je postala vrlo atraktivna za investicije i imala je značajne priljeve stranog kapitala. Stoga, u ovom radu procjenjujemo u kojoj mjeri globalni šokovi mogli biti opasni za tako malu otvorenu ekonomiju. Osim toga, ispitujemo da li i u kojoj mjeri, domaći čimbenici mogu utjecati na tokove kapitala zbog pune euroizacije. Da bismo odgovorili na ova pitanja primijenili smo strukturni vektorski autoregresivni model korištenjem kvartalnih podataka od 2005. do 2017. godine. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da uglavnom eksterni faktori, kao što su inozemne kamatne stope i europski rizik, značajno objašnjavaju varijaciju tokova kapitala. Nadalje, domaći čimbenici imaju manju ulogu na kretanje tokova kapitala u Crnoj Gori.
