This important question is answered by utilising annual time series data spanning the period 1996–2018 on Ghana. Two main export destinations for Ghana – sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Europe and Central Asia (ECA) regions are selected for the analysis. The results from the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model show that, export destinations really matter for economic growth. Specifically, exports to the SSA region is not growth enhancing in the long-run, but exports to the ECA region is growth enhancing in both the short- and long-run. Based on the findings, we provide policy suggestions, which seek to improve economic growth through exports for consideration.

Questionnaires were administered to 300 household heads and ordinary least squares estimation technique was applied to the dataset. The dependent variable was income and measured by total annual income received from farm and non-farm activities by household heads. The independent variable of interest was tropical livestock unit measured by flock size. We also included farm size, household size, gender, age, educational level, distance to market, dependency ratio and access to formal credit as control variables. We found that smallholder livestock production and farm size increase income whilst distance to market and dependency ratio reduce income. Based on evidence of the positive relationship between livestock production and household income in this paper, it is recommended that policies to promote smallholder livestock production should be embarked upon to incr...

Several determinants regarding saving decisions among individuals have been revealed. However, the role of religion has not been emphasised especially in sub-Saharan Africa region even though religion is asserted to have influence on economic outcomes. This paper revisits saving determinants in Ghana with focus on religion. The study uses primary data and employs the probit regression for analysis. It is revealed that the effect of religion on saving is positive but statistically insignificant. However, financial literacy, employment status, education and income have significant effect on saving. Based on these findings, relevant policy implications have been suggested in order to avert the low savings mobilisation in Ghana.

The paper relies on primary data and employs descriptive analysis and the binary probit model as the estimation technique. The results reveal that commercial drivers who own the vehicle themselves, have a secondary occupation and have financial institutions close to their stations are more likely to save. In addition, the study reveals a negative relationship between age, education, financial literacy and saving. Based on these findings, relevant policy suggestions have been provided.
