Abstract

Scholars' attention to the association between access to financial services (FS) and nutritional intake has been profound, looking at the worsening levels of malnutrition worldwide. This research adds to literature by assessing the association between access to FS and nutritional intake among rural dwellers in a developing nation, Ghana. We used the endogenous treatment Poisson regression model to address the problem regarding potential selection bias. The findings emanating from our analysis depict that the linkage between access to FS and nutritional intake is positive. After analyzing potential pathways in the linkage between access to FS and nutritional intake, our findings showed that the adoption of farm technologies and entrepreneurship could serve as essential pathways. Our findings indicate that providing incentives or policies to encourage the establishment of branches of financial institutions in rural areas should be prioritized by policymakers. Also, policies aimed at enhancing entrepreneurship and farm technology adoption should be prioritized. For instance, training programs to empower farmers to adopt new farm technologies and avenues to enrich farmers' entrepreneurship ideas should be considered by policymakers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study examines the factors that influence the performance of listed banks and the impact of on Ghana's economic growth. The study used panel data from GCB Bank, HFC Bank, Ghana Economic Bank (EBG), SG-SSB Bank and CAL Bank for the period 2010 to 2019. The Hausman test for panel regression was employed to determine the best method between the fixed effect and random effect models. The results of the Hausman test show the fixed effect was the most efficient method of estimation. The findings of the fixed effect model show that liquid assets to short term liability and non-performing loan ratio have significant negative effect on return on assets.  Furthermore, non-interest expense income, return on assets and return on equity have high significant impact on economic growth. Capital adequacy ratio on the other hand adversely affect economic growth. The positive result of the profitability measures explains how a good financial sector can affect the state of an economy. The study therefore suggests that stakeholders, policymakers and Governments must implement pragmatic policies and enforce existing ones to encourage financial institutions to maintain disciplined and profitable management practices.
