ABSTRACT Often, central bank independence (CBI) is seen as one of the optimal institutional devices to guarantee price stability. The ample literature on CBI suggests that CBI is negatively correlated with inflation. Consequently, the turn of the 20th century has seen several countries enshrine in their central bank’s charter what its limits of independence are. Empirical studies on central bank independence, however, yield inconclusive results due, in part, to the difficulty in conceptuali...

ABSTRACT This paper explains how standard of living in Ghana is affected as inflation changes from time to time. The need for such understanding has become relevant considering the dramatic fluctuations of inflation in Ghana especially in 2012. Additionally, inflation happens to be one of the most keenly discussed indicators in Ghana even though it is not clear whether its meaning is not lost on those who love to talk about it. Furthermore, available literature does not only lack context-spec...
Abstract Currently, Ghana lags in the use of data for organizational and governmental decision-making (Kyeremanten-Jimoh, 2018). Unlike developed economies which are mostly data-driven because of the availability of various of technologies which allow for effective data analysis for needed insights, Ghana is still trying to find its feet within the field of technology and is assumed not to necessarily regard the importance of and role of harnessing data for every decision made towards fueling...

ABSTRACT Religion is woven into the culture of the Ghanaian people, so much so that it was evidently exploited in the election campaign of the 2012 general elections. According to Dovlo (2005), “it belongs to the African tradition that we cannot easily distinguish between the secular and religious realm, even in politics”. Political elections are usually contested in a democratic state such as Ghana to determine who rules or governs the people of a state. This is the best way by which the...

First-generation gender...

The preponderance of that literature indicates that a negative relationship exists between capital flight and...
ABSTRACT The Ghana Textile industry was part of several industries set up in the late 1960s by Ghana‟s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, in an attempt to make the economy self-sufficient. By the mid 1970s, there were 40 medium to large scale textile companies in Ghana. The industry‟s productivity peaked in this same period achieved a total output of 130 million yards, plant utilization capacity of 60% and employed about 25,000 people (Quartey, 2006). In the mid 1980s, however, the Ghana...
ABSTRACT Generally speaking, every investment decision contains a component of risk and a component of return. The relationship amongst risk and return exists as a risk-return trade off, by which it is implied that it is just conceivable to obtain higher returns by tolerating higher risk. This risk-return relationship is very key in investment assessment. Risk and Return are emphatically connected; an expansion in one is joined by an increment in the other. Hence this study assessed the ris...
Abstract As China emerges to be a new global power, its relation with Africa is overheated with domination or collaboration debate. The pessimistic argues that China offers puny aid aimed at exploiting nature resources and creating a neo-colonialism state in Africa, while the optimistic argues that Chinese aid is aimed at creating mutual win-win collaboration that tend to lift poverty in Africa. This study will attempt to offer explanation using historical and aid/investment analysis as a foc...
