One of the most difficult challenges facing the economies of developing and wealthy countries alike is the concern about economic development, particularly the issues of economic growth and unemployment. The study concentrated on the trinity of foreign direct investment, exports, and remittances because it is one of the most significant factors in international commerce and financial transactions and the main source of foreign reserves in Jordan. The study investigated the impact of foreign direct investment flows and foreign remittances in addition to exports on unemployment levels in Jordan in the period from 1982 to 2020, and unemployment was used as a representative variable for the economic development process. The study aimed to demonstrate the effect in the long run, and the auto-regressive distributed lags test (ARDL) was used as a tool for the standard analysis. The results showed that each of the three independent variables reduced unemployment in the long run, and the results showed a co-integration relationship in the long run. This study is considered one of the few and rare studies investigating this trio’s impact on Jordan’s economic development. Based on the results, the study presented recommendations for decision-makers....
International Financial Reporting Standard 7 (IFRS 7) focuses on enabling users of financial reports to examine not only the usefulness of financial instruments for organizations but also the type and scale of the risks involved in employing financial instruments, as well as how firms manage risks. Therefore, this study aims to examine the extent of compliance with the requirements of IFRS 7 by Palestinian banks listed on the PEX vs. Jordanian banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange during the period from 2014 to 2019. The study follows quantitative research methods, and the data are obtained from the annual reports of the banks. The researcher use an index that was developed to measure banks' compliance with this standard. The study results confirm that the mean of compliance with IFRS 7 requirements by Jordanian banks is 0.6466 compared to 0.6095 for Palestinian banks. Thus, there is a high level of compliance with this standard as banks are subjected to several laws and legislations to adopt IFRS7. Furthermore, there is a statistical difference in the extent of compliance with IFRS 7 requirements between Palestinian & Jordanian banks....
The concept of Bioeconomy is associated with sustainable development changes both in production and consumption systems. For this reason, this research was carried out with the objective to describe the scientific production related to the different strategic groups’ perceptions about Bioeconomy and to group the existing literature into thematic clusters. Initially, in this bibliometric study, 67 articles were selected from the Scopus database based on the words “Bioeconomy” and “Perceptions”. Later, the VOSviewer software, version 1.6.18, was used to perform the bibliometric analysis. The results revealed the existence of four clusters. The first cluster included articles about Bioeconomy on the perspective of the timber strategic sector and of the different actors in the field of forestry action closest to the Bioeconomy field. The second cluster included articles related to the perception about Bioeconomy by Civil Society, in general, and higher education students, in particular, as well as their opinions on the importance of the forestry sector for the Bioeconomy. The third cluster comprised the articles that consider the Bioeconomy to be the innovative way to go to ensure the sustainability of the planet, therefore highlighting the importance of knowing the perceptions and raising awareness of all strategic groups to ensure the successful transition to the Bioeconomy. Finally, the fourth cluster included articles related to the consumer attitudes and behaviours regarding the acceptance of new biofood products resulting from the Circular Economy....
The trend observed from 1998 until 2019 over world disinflation and over the stabilization of national inflations at low levels is due to the behavior of US inflation. This can be said in the light of econometric results with quarterly US figures and other 30 countries of different continents. Indeed, these results favor such a hypothesis and do not favor alternative hypotheses that would emphasize the national monetary policies or deflationist shocks of “real” origin (non-monetary). Besides, the empirical evidence indicates that, in general terms, national monetary policies have been lax in this sense: monetary policy makers have taken advantage of the disinflationary trend from the US to execute lax policies by foreseeing related benefits (over the economic activity, for instance)....
This paper analyses the FDI flows determinants in less developed countries with evidence in Central African countries. We mention that if institutions matter in attracting FDI flows; this is not only due to good institutions or political regime types as focused in economic literature but also due to economic sectors which must be considered as investors decision procedure....
