Financial inclusion and stability in MENA: Evidence from poverty and inequality
Simon Neaime,Isabelle Gaysset +1 more
TLDR
In this paper, the impact of financial inclusion on income inequality, poverty, and financial stability in eight MENA countries over the period 2002-2015 is investigated. And the empirical evidence indicates that while financial integration is a contributing factor to financial instability in MENA, financial inclusion contributes positively to financial stability.About:

Primary school enrolment rate, completion rate and gender balancing in Nigeria; the financial inclusion perspective
Amenawo I. Offiong,Hodo B. Riman,Godwin Bassey James,Anthony Ogar,Emmanuel Ekpenyong Okon,Helen Walter Mboto +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed the vector error correction modeling (VECM) to capture both short and long-run dynamics of cointegration equations and also, ascertain how the long run deviations are deemed corrected in the short run, which showed a significant positive effect on primary school enrollment but regarding primary school completion rate and female-to-male ratio, the responses to financial inclusion measures showed a completely negative effect.

Assessing the Effects of Financial Inclusion on Reducing Poverty and Income Inequality in South Asia: Evidence from a CS-ARDL Approach
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the effects of financial inclusion on poverty reduction and income inequality with a focus on South Asian economies from 2004 to 2020 by employing dynamic panel models augmented with a comprehensive composite financial inclusion index and a set of well-known macroeconomic predictors.

Evaluating Microeconomic Factors, Financial Crisis, and Stock Price Dynamics: Evidence From MENA Region
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of microeconomic factors and the global financial crisis on stock prices in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region for the period 2000-2015.
Modelling financial inclusion using a panel macroeconomic approach: evidence from african countries
Assalih Hicham,Ouakil Hicham +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the determinants of financial inclusion and explore the barriers that limit access to financial services, especially ownership of bank accounts across African countries. But, the focus of this paper is to identify so as to analyze the determinant of financial exclusion and to explore the barrier that limit the access to finance.

Some Tests of Specification for Panel Data: Monte Carlo Evidence and an Application to Employment Equations.
Manuel Arellano,Stephen Bond +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator optimally exploits all the linear moment restrictions that follow from the assumption of no serial correlation in the errors, in an equation which contains individual effects, lagged dependent variables and no strictly exogenous variables.

Initial conditions and moment restrictions in dynamic panel data models
Richard Blundell,Stephen Bond +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two alternative linear estimators that are designed to improve the properties of the standard first-differenced GMM estimator are presented. But both estimators require restrictions on the initial conditions process.

Another look at the instrumental variable estimation of error-components models
Manuel Arellano,Olympia Bover +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a framework for efficient IV estimators of random effects models with information in levels which can accommodate predetermined variables is presented. But the authors do not consider models with predetermined variables that have constant correlation with the effects.
