A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of the Free State in South Africa aimed to quantify the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the wholesale and retail sales industries in the country. The study utilized interrupted time series models, specifically the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) with exogenous components (SARIMAX) model, to estimate and quantify the actual amount of loss in revenue during the intervention period. The findings revealed that the pandemic had a significant negative impact on both wholesale and retail sales, resulting in a loss of ZAR 302,339 million and ZAR 87,836 million, respectively. The study provides valuable insights into the economic consequences of the pandemic in South Africa. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by the University of Tirana examined the tax capacity and tax effort of the Albanian economy in comparison to other transition economies. The study found that factors such as the structure of the economy, per capita income, openness to foreign trade, and corruption were significant in determining the potential tax capacity. However, the study also revealed that tax effort in Albania was below average, indicating a need for improved governance and anti-corruption measures to enhance tax collection. The research does not support further increases in statutory tax rates. For more information, the full article can be accessed through the provided link. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from Tulane University explores the concept of corruption in political economies. The research challenges the assumption that corruption is always a pathology and suggests that some cases of corruption may result from defective laws rather than defective people. The study proposes a non-ideal theory of corruption that considers partial compliance with the law and argues that corruption can provide information about the quality of the law. This research offers a philosophical perspective on corruption and its implications for anti-corruption policies. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from Ivan Franko National University of Lviv in Ukraine have conducted a study analyzing the stock markets of resource-rich countries such as Norway, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa.
