Effects Of Bank Activity Restriction and Stringent Capital Regulation On Bank Stability In Sub-Saharan Africa
No full textThis study investigates the effect of bank activity restrictions and stringent capital regulation on bank stability in commercial banks from Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries. Secondary data for this study are collected from the Global Financial Development Database, Bank Regulation and Supervision Database, World Development Indicators Database, the Global Economy Database, and Worldwide Governance Indicators for the period 2003–2021. The dependent variable is bank stability, and the independent variables are stringent bank capital regulation and bank activity restrictions. The lag of the dependent variable, gross domestic product, inflation, bank concentration, and corruption are added as control variables. The purposive sampling method is employed to select the sample from the SSA population and the data analyzed using the dynamic model two-step General Method of Moment (GMM) estimation techniques. Bank activity restrictions and capital stringency are indexed based on the bank regulation and supervision survey of 2003- 2021. The empirical findings suggest strict capital regulation has negative effect and activity restriction has positive effect on bank stability. It was recommended that central banks and commercial bank management in the Sub-Sahara Africa economies work on enhancing the degree of strictness on capital regulations to attain a more stable banking sector so as to build shock resistant financial industry

Predictors of Hate Speech Propagation and on Facebook Among the Youth in Ethiopian Government Universities: Evidence form Haramaya and Dire Dawa Universities
Get PDFThough the issue of hate speech is not a new phenomenonto Ethiopia,its visibility hasincreased due to its propagation specificallythrough social mediainducing political and social instability among the youth and beyond. There had been notheoretical /empirical studies examining the predictors that propagate Hate Speech on Facebook among University youthin Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess the propagation and predictors of hate speech on Facebook among the youth in Haramaya and Dire Dawa Universities.The studyemployed cross-sectional survey design to pool quantitative data from university youth enrolled in Eastern Ethiopia. Data was collected through self-developed structured questionnaires from a random sample of377 university youthwho claimed to be Facebook users. We adopted the Uses and gratifications theory and the ‘social media logic’ to explain the findings. The findings suggested that majority of the sampled youth have used Facebook for over six years and spent more than four hours aday. Paradoxical it may seem, the youth had both positive andnegative attitude towards hate speech when they were exposed to ethnically-induced hate, albeit majority of them spread hate on purpose. The outcome of the multiple linear regression model revealed that attitude was the strongest predictor of hate speech followed respectively by exposure, purpose, level of educationand age. Concerned stakeholders need to collaborate in media literacy education to tackle hate speech propagation among university yout
Determinants of Food Insecurity using Household Food Insecurity Access Scale: A Cross-Sectional Study in Enset-Based Agricultural Practice of Sidama Regional State, Ethiopia
Get PDFThis study investigates the determinants of food insecurity in the Sidama Regional State, Ethiopia, using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) as a measure of food insecurity. Employing a cross-sectional research design, the study integrates both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were collected from 620 sampled farming households through a multi-stage sampling method and analyzed using SPSS software version 26. Both descriptive and inferential statistics including frequencies, percentages, Chi-square, independent-sample t-test, and binary logistic regression, were utilized for data analysis. The findings reveal that higher levels of education, larger land sizes, longer birth intervals, and greater household asset ownership positively influence household food security. Conversely, heavy reliance on enset (false banana) is associated with lower food security, likely due to limited agricultural yields and reduced dietary diversity. Additionally, the study identifies common coping strategies, such as reducing meal variety, opting for cheaper meals, and limiting portion sizes, as prevalent responses to food insecurity. These results highlight the importance of education, land access, family planning, and diversified food production in enhancing food security in the region
Policy Integration for Sustainable Environmental Management of Lake Tana, Amhara Region, Ethiopia
Get PDFThis study analyzes the integration status of environmental protection policies for Lake Tana using a convergent mixed methods approach within a pragmatism research paradigm. Data was collected through observations, focus group discussions, document reviews, and interviews with policymakers and stakeholders. Content analysis and CapScan analysis were employed to assess the extent of policy integration pertinent to Lake Tana. The result shows significant gaps in policy integration particularly in policy design, implementation, and evaluation. Results further indicate that stakeholders lacked alignment on key issues, resulting in poor sectoral coordination and fragmented efforts. Integration challenges including poor stakeholder engagement, insufficient institutional capacity, and fragmented policy frameworks are exacerbated by varied levels of leadership, accountability, and monitoring. Furthermore, policymakers and experts emphasized the need for stronger institutional structures and enhanced coordination to tackle these issues effectively. The study suggests the need for increased political commitment, better stakeholder collaboration, financial alignment, and improved monitoring systems. It also suggests policy reforms to strengthen institutional frameworks and develop a unified strategy for the sustainable management of Lake Tana, contributing to a broader understanding of policy integration in environmental governance
