<p><em>Population expansion and resource availability have been the basis for many entrepreneurial activities around the world. The presence of resources and the continuous drive to provide the ever growing needs of man has been a fortune for many entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, this is not a general rule as there are resources rich areas with little or no entrepreneurial activities. Within the context of this lack of standard rule for the development of entrepreneurship, this paper investigates the determinants of the demand for entrepreneurship in Cameroon using the<strong> </strong></em><em>Johansen co-integration procedures and the Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) based on data collected from the </em><em>World Development Indicators, WDI (2016) and the KOF globalisation index database between 1980 and 2017. After testing for the short and long run relationship, the study found out that population growth, technology and globalization negatively affects the demand for entrepreneurship in Cameroon while economic development positively and significantly determines the demand for entrepreneurship. On the basis of these findings, the study suggests that government should develop and enact policies that will sufficiently regulate the market and create the right business environment for the sustainability of entrepreneurial activities in Cameroon. While recognizing the role of population expansion in providing a market for business, overpopulation should not be tolerated as it becomes a liability in struggling entrepreneurialism. </em></p>

This paper investigated how oil revenue and the activities in the oil industry affected the size of income accrue to each Nigerian (Per capita income) from 1980 to 2019. The variables were sourced from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators (WDI), OPEC Statistics, Baker Hughes Rig Count and the central bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin. Using the AutoRegressive Distributional Lag (ARDL) we observed that explorative activities of crude oil in Nigeria positively impacted the size of individual income. The magnitude of the impact was massive irrespective of time; a 1% increase in exploration increases the size of individual income by 0.4786% in the long run and 0.6030% in the short run. The interaction of rigs by output (interaction of rig-count and oil-production) negatively impacted the size of individual income. This implies that the size of individual income in Nigeria is sensitive to the nature of the explorative environment of the Nigerian oil industry.

Swedish Data

Recent decades have seen a strong trend among democratic countries to extend voting rights at subnational levels to non-naturalized immigrants, creating substantial variation across countries in terms of voting eligibility rules for non-naturalized immigrants. Our knowledge of the consequences of these different systems for immigrant political integration is, however, limited. This article seeks to shed new light on this important issue by using Swedish data to study whether immigrants who face shorter residency requirements for voting eligibility in local elections are more likely to integrate politically. We find little compelling evidence that such is the case. The results suggest that immigrants who became eligible to vote after six to seven years were as likely to naturalize and vote in future elections in both the short and long run as those who received the right to vote after only three years of residency. Thus, although expanded franchise can be of symbolic, as well as practical, value, it is unlikely to be a panacea for immigrant political inclusion. The argument that early voting rights for non-naturalized immigrants is desirable since it helps speed up immigrant political integration should, therefore, be used with some care by those advocating for such reforms.

The development of entrepreneurship and leadership is the backbone of the development of any society. In a market economy, the state of entrepreneurship changes every day and it is necessary to find new methods of its development and adaptation to market conditions. Today, Serbia is in a difficult economic situation. The global economic crisis halted the country’s belated transitional recovery the moment the momentum began to take hold. The road to its recovery leads through painful measures: rationalization of the oversized public sector and serious financial discipline, as well as the promotion of entrepreneurship and leadership as development strategies, without which sustainable economic growth will not be possible. This paper aims to contribute to the description and analysis of the development of entrepreneurship and leadership, with the intention that it contributes to faster development in Serbia. The paper analyzes the concept, general state, and importance of entrepreneurship, the relationship between entrepreneurship and leadership, and the role of entrepreneurship in economic development. Based on the analysis performed in the paper, the authors concluded that entrepreneurial opportunities arise from market changes and that the modern, rapidly changing and uncertain business environment is a theoretically potential area for entrepreneurial activities.

The Right

This chapter presents a critical approach towards the role that many courts are assuming in the protection of socio-economical rights in the Latin American context. It argues that the proper role of courts must necessarily vary according to the formulation of the social right in question. As a general rule, the more absolute and specifically formulated the right — or its corresponding obligation — the higher the institutional competence (legitimacy and competency) of courts will tend to be, and vice versa. When obligations are stated in vague fashion, such as the right to housing, health, and education in Colombia, Brazil, and South Africa, the room left for interpreting contending definitions is not only ample, but it often involves the intractable question of social policy design that must be studied by the executive and legislative branches. The chapter then contends that courts should play, at most, a complementary role. It invites courts to take more creative approaches in the enforcement of socio-economic rights.

Public Debts

This paper investigates the relative importance of public debts and money growth on inflation in Nigeria from 1980 to 2015. Annual secondary data collected from World Development Indicators were used for the analysis. After examining the behaviour of the time series, Unrestricted Vector Autoregressive (VAR) technique of estimation is employed with a view to determining whether inflation is a monetary or fiscal phenomenon in Nigeria. The results show that, both in the short and long run, public debts accounts for a sizeable percentage in the variation of inflation rather than growth in monetary supply, making inflation a fiscal phenomenon in Nigeria. We therefore recommend that the attainment of fiscal solvency would be more effective in achieving price stability in Nigeria.

Current Rule

We investigate the procuring evidence in civil proceedings, we come to the conclusion that the court in the procuring evidence is the determining subject. This conclusion follows from the content of the rules of the court’s activity to determine the subject of evidence. By determining the subject of evidence, the court thereby determines and organizes the activities of the persons participating in the case, to prove the circumstances to which it indicated in the subject of evidence, regardless of the persons’ opinion par-ticipating in the case regarding the circumstances that they asked to be in-cluded in the subject of evidence, but the court did not. The decisive role of the court in the procuring evidence is also confirmed by the legislator’s right to apply the rules of evidence admissibility presented by the persons participating in the case for examination in the court session, as well as the right to offer the persons participating in the case to submit additional evidence. We conclude that the rules applied by the court to determine the evidence admissibility represent a specific set. This set includes, in addition to the general rule for determining the evidence admissibility, the rule according to which the evidence admissibility is established by determining their relevance and sufficiency to the circumstances of the subject of evidence. The set also includes rules for determining the procedural form of the evidence presented, including the rules for obtaining them. We believe that the legislator should exclude the current rule on the violations recognition of the procedural form of obtaining evidence as formal, as not complying with the requirements of the legality principle.
