DIGITAL FINANCIAL SERVICES AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE QUOTED COMMERCIAL BANKS IN NIGERIA
Get PDFObjective: The study aims to examine the causal relationship as well as short-term and long-term dynamic effects between digital financial service components and on the performance of the quoted commercial banks.
Method: The study employs a cross-sectional descriptive survey research with ex-post facto research. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze responses and opinions, while inferential statistics including the dynamic Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (PARDL) approach, Panel Granger Causality Test.
Results: The Granger Causality analysis reveals that Agency banking exhibits a strong causal link to ROA (p=0.003<0.05), emphasizing its predictive power for ROA variations. Also, ATM banking has a weaker influence on ROA (p=0.08>0.05), while internet banking (p=0.049<0.05) and mobile banking (p=0.0001<0.05) both impact ROA significantly. The long-term analysis using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model indicates that agency banking (β=0.128, p < 0.05), ATM banking (β=0.566, p < 0.05), internet banking (β=0.514, p < 0.05), and POS activities (β=0.118, p < 0.05) all have positive impacts on ROA. In the short term, these variables also show positive coefficients, suggesting immediate effects on ROA. Error correction (ECTt−1) has a negative coefficient (β=-0.06, p < 0.05), indicating its role in short-run adjustments to deviations from long-run equilibrium. Overall, agency banking, ATM banking, internet banking, and POS activities are crucial drivers with strong statistical significance, while mobile banking has limited influence on ROA. Based on these findings.
Conclusion: The study recommends that financial institutions should strategically prioritize agency banking services and enhance internet banking services to positively impact ROA. Resource allocation for ATM banking should be reevaluated, and POS-related strategies may not be a priority for improving ROA. Additionally, financial institutions should adopt a long-term perspective when planning and implementing these services, and invest in enhancing their digital financial services to boost customer satisfaction, fostering loyalty and retention

INVESTIGATING THE ASSOCIATION BETWEE AVERAGE HOTEL PRICES AND INTERNATIONAL TOURISM
Get PDFObjective: The present study intends to examine the long- and short-run associations between average hotel prices and the international tourism demand in Singapore.
Theoretical Framework: Employing Johansen Cointegration method and linear ARDL bound tests, we fail to capture the long-term linkage between average hotel prices and the number of visitors in Singapore. We then consider the application of non-linear ARDL (NARDL) models in order to explore whether the non-existence of the long-run connection is due to the non-linear structure of the variables.
Method: We use monthly data which range from January 1995 to December 2022 yielding a total of 336 observations. All the data on average room rate and total tourist arrivals are retrieved from Thomson Reuters DataStream database. The starting period of the data used in our empirical analysis is dictated by data availability.
Results and Discussion: The findings reveal that the NARDL model successfully detects the aforesaid association between the variables under consideration. Furthermore, adopting the Toda–Yamamoto test for Granger causality suggests a strong bidirectional short-run connection between these two variables.
Research Implications: Policymakers could utilize these outcomes to implement appropriate strategies (e.g., stabilizing the hotel prices, rebranding the country as an attractive destination) for receiving significant attention from international tourists.
Originality/Value: Although Singapore has been one of the major destinations for international tourists over the years, assessing the relationship between average hotel prices and the total number tourists visiting Singapore does not receive much attention in earlier studies. This study aims to extend such scarce literature

MÉTODO DE AVALIAÇÃO DA PERCEPÇÃO AMBIENTAL EM UMA SITUAÇÃO DE EMERGÊNCIA COM AUXÍLIO DA REALIDADE VIRTUAL E DE BIOFEEDBACK
Get PDFObjetivo: Construir um método para avaliar a percepção ambiental individual em uma situação de emergência, priorizando a percepção arquitetônica e, com isso, avaliar sua contribuição no processo de orientação.
Referencial Teórico: Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura sobre os seguintes temas: comportamento humano, simulação computacional, Realidade Virtual (VR) e biofeedback.
Método: Criou-se um ambiente virtual com oito pontos de decisão, cada um explorando diferentes atributos arquitetônicos. Para mensurar o nível de estresse, utilizou-se um equipamento de biofeedback para captar a variação da frequência cardíaca (VFC). Para a coleta de dados, aplicou-se uma entrevista semiestruturada, a fim de determinar o nível de consciência (NC) e a visualização dos atributos arquitetônicos (VAA).
Resultados e Discussão: O método mostrou-se eficiente, pois foi possível determinar se os participantes estavam transmitindo uma percepção real. Independentemente do estado de coerência cardíaca, o Nível de Consciência (NC) e a Visualização dos Atributos Arquitetônicos (VAA) apresentaram pontos percentuais próximos. Isso demonstra que a falta de coerência cardíaca impactou na visualização dos atributos arquitetônicos e, consequentemente, no nível de consciência.
Implicações da Pesquisa: O estudo tem relevância no campo da evacuação emergencial e nas simulações computacionais. O método foi aplicado em uma instituição de ensino, e suas implicações são significativas, mas deve ser ampliado para outros setores e públicos.
