Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 3.9, Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, language: English, abstract: This research is motivated by the need to show whether environmental, social, and governance performance (ESG) is highly linked to the African companies’ performances, and national culture. Besides, this study examines the impacts of audit quality and the national culture on the relationship between financial performance and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. The introduction of ESG practices has started lately in sub-Saharan African countries, but its implementation has been easier as the African context prones social factors that facilitate its development. Although several studies have explored the nexus between ESG, audit quality and firm financial performance, the outcomes of research on the financial performance-ESG’s relationship are contradicting and further research is needed. These areas include (1) the mediating role of audit quality in the relationship between corporate governance and firm performance; (2) the moderated mediating role of national culture in the relationship between ESG and financial performance through audit quality, (3) the impact of each ESG characteristics such as environment, social, governance scores and audit firm size on firm performance. Thus, the aims of the study are to examine (1) the impact of environment, social, governance criteria on firm financial performance; (2) the relationship environment, social, governance criteria and audit quality; (3) the effect of audit quality on firm financial performance; (4) the mediating role of audit quality in the relationship ESG and firm financial performance; and (5) the ESG performance of companies deviating between firms from different countries, the last key objective is to fill the research gap by examining the moderated mediating role of the four cultural dimensions of Hofstede –power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism, and masculinity- on the impact of ESG on firm financial performance through audit quality.

Infrastructure—electricity, telecommunications, roads, water, and sanitation—are central to people’s lives. Without it, they cannot make a living, stay healthy, and maintain a good quality of life. Access to basic infrastructure is also a key driver of economic development. This report lays out a framework for understanding infrastructure resilience - the ability of infrastructure systems to function and meet users’ needs during and after a natural hazard. It focuses on four infrastructure systems that are essential to economic activity and people’s well-being: power systems, including the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity; water and sanitation—especially water utilities; transport systems—multiple modes such as road, rail, waterway, and airports, and multiple scales, including urban transit and rural access; and telecommunications, including telephone and Internet connections.

"This book, designed for policymakers, academics and researchers, and SEZ program practitioners, provides the first systematic and comprehensive analysis of SEZ programs in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is the result of detailed surveys and case studies conducted during 2009 in ten developing countries, including six in Sub-Saharan Africa. The book provides quantitative evidence of the performance of SEZs, and of the factors which contribute to that performance, highlighting the critical importance not just of the SEZ itself but of the wider national investment climate in which it functions. It also provides a comprehensive guide to the key policy questions that confront governments establishing SEZ programs, including: if and when to launch an SEZ program, what form of SEZ is most appropriate, and how to go about implementing it. Among the most important findings from the study that is stressed in the book is the shift from traditional enclave models of zones to SEZs that are integrated ? with national trade and industrial strategies, with core trade and social infrastructure, with domestic suppliers, and with local labor markets.Although the book focuses primarily on the experience of Sub-Saharan Africa, its lessons will be applicable to developing countries around the world."

The second volume includes recent theoretical and empirical economic analyses, focusing on the intergenerational transmission of historical and cultural traits and their effects on macroeconomic and microeconomic outcomes. With an original introduction by the editor, the volumes will prove an essential tool for researchers, scholars and practitioners interested in the deep roots of economic outcomes and development.
