Financial development and natural resources nexus in Egypt: the role of clean energy sources and foreign direct investment

Purpose Achieving the goals of the sustainable development strategy and Egypt’s vision 2030 depends mainly on the existence of sources of funds. And since Egypt faces a great challenge in obtaining finance, then analyzing the drivers of financial development is a vital issue and there is a persistent need to shed light on the key obstacles for it. Thus, this paper aims to empirically assess the impact of natural resources, foreign direct investment (FDI) net inflows, education and clean energy sources on financial development in Egypt using the data of the 1971–2014 period. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses auto-regressive distributed lag and Toda-Yamomoto approaches to fulfill the purpose. Findings Empirical results signify that all variables except natural endowments stimulate financial development which can suggest the presence of the natural resources curse in Egypt. Moreover, the feedback effect between financial development and FDI is recognized. Clean energy sources cause financial development and natural endowments. Financial development causes natural endowments and FDI leads to the deployment of more clean energy resources. Practical implications Several crucial policy implications are suggested based upon these results as improving the quality and quantity of education and encouraging both domestic and foreign investors by providing several incentives. Moreover, the government has to enhance green finance through financing solar energy projects and other environmentally friendly projects. Originality/value It is the first research for Egypt that explores natural resource-financial development nexus using time series analysis according to our information, and two important variables are included in the model which is clean energy sources and FDI. Then, although several studies examined the impact of financial development on clean energy no empirical study before assessed the impact of clean energy on financial development.

Silencing the seventh trumpet: Analyzing the effect of private schooling on voting behavior

The United States has one of the lowest election turnout rates in the developed world. Consequently, social scientists are perpetually seeking to expand upon their knowledge of what factors are associated with voting, or the lack thereof. Commonly identified factors including age, income, race, and educational attainment have been studied extensively. However, while the quantity of education is deemed important, the type of education is overlooked. The limited literature that exists on the topic suggests that private schools have a positive effect on civic outcomes, including voter participation. In using a rich, nationally representative dataset—the Understanding America Study based out of the University of Southern California—this study reexamines whether attending a private school has an effect on whether Americans vote. It also sheds light on a heretofore-unanswered question: How does private schooling affect which candidate an individual supports? Overall, the data indicate that private schooling appears to have no impact on voter turnout, but that attending some private school appears to have a liberalizing effect.

The Analysis of Flipped Learning Centered on Prospective Study

This article describes how the advent of the Information Age has brought an educational tendency to focus on the quality and morality, excluding the quantity of education and rote learning. This highlights the importance of developing competence of critical insight, problem solving, collaboration, communication, creative thinking, and cultural understanding in public education. However, the reality of education in Korea is that the public school fails to be apart from content-based learning, teacher-centered learning and ranking-oriented learning. To solve this problem, the Education Ministry suggests cultivating a creative human resource with integrated competency in the revised curriculum of 2015 and implement a free semester program. Moreover, flipped learning is being realized and researched as the shift the teaching paradigm, aiming to introduce it in each school. Accordingly, this project suggests establishing a step in the right direction of flipped learning so that it can be boosted on stage. This article also suggests the purpose and its goal of flipped learning based on precedent studies and their implications on political, administrative and financial, cultural, school curriculum and assessment-based view.
