Economics of Sustainable Creative Cities
Authors: Atalah Ehab Zakaria
Published: November 2020

The concept of creative cities is one of the historically ancient terms that evolve over time, as these cities played an important role as colonies of human civilization. The transformation of the world into a small village as a result of globalization has contributed to the ease of creative migration and human communication at all levels, whether through the internet, ease of travel, or ease of transporting goods. Technology has been the basis of the fourth industrial revolution and informational openness through the internet and then artificial intelligence. Actually, these elements developed the classic concept of creative cities, their economics, and their ability to face future challenges in order to achieve the goals of sustainable development. 2030 SDGs have been launched by the United Nations with the aim of protecting human life and saving the planet through development which is achieved on three axes (economic, social, and environmental) due to the inability of the classical economy to achieve these goals in the formation of a new world order.
Structure and Functions of Cosmopolitan as a Symbol of Creative Cities
Authors: Zanaty Galal
Published: November 2020

There is hardly a subject that has been more inspirational for the historian medievalists than urban communities. In order to understand the life of cities and towns during the Middle Ages, it is important to define authority and property as related to urban space, and see the interplay between these two notions these issues are not new in the European the legal aspects of ownership and the operation of urban real-estate market. Yet there are very few comparative studies on the European cities, historiographies, especially in the recent years. Moreover, not too much research has been done on the relationship between property and the different levels of authority. .
When Participants' Trauma Becomes Mine
Authors: Gal Sigalit
Published: November 2020

This chapter is a reflection on the author's work in the context of trauma-focused qualitative research entitled “Risk and protective factors for the mental health consequences of childhood political trauma (Argentina 1976-1983) among adult Jewish Argentinian immigrants to Israel.” By examining the author's emotional reactions during the process of the data collection and analysis of her doctoral study, the author will explore the challenges that she faced, as well as the solutions she employed (both the effective and ineffective). More specifically, using the lens of the psychoanalytical term “countertransference”, she will discuss the manifestations of her positionality as a qualitative researcher and its impact on her engagement with her study. The author will elaborate on different strategies that she used for her study, and propose qualitative researchers to use “countertransference” as a way to understand and address the complexity of a researcher's positionality in narrative research.

Authors: Tharumaraj Judith Nesamalar , Rajandram Kalai Vaani , Singaram Nallammai
Published: November 2020

The incorporation of web-based instruction within the educator-student partnership in the English language classroom today has taken on a pivotal role in complementing if not supplementing the traditional face-to-face teaching mode. In this study, the researchers set out to find out how pre-university students from various majors in Taylor's University, perceive Moodle as an online English Language learning environment that is able to capture some of the facets of learner autonomy amidst face-to-face interaction with the educator. It evaluates whether these students recognize the effectiveness of Moodle as a tool that develops autonomous learning in the process of engaging with various online language activities prepared by the educator. An online survey was administered to capture their attitude and personal feedback on learning language through various Moodle features utilized throughout the semester. Findings of the research indicated that the students acknowledge Moodle as a language learning platform that enables autonomous learning to be practiced in a supportive environment.
The Impact of Conservatism Accounting on Audit Fees
Authors: Alves Sandra
Published: November 2020

For a sample of listed Portuguese and Spanish firms from 2010 to 2018, this study draws on audit pricing, substitution, signaling, and complementary theories to evaluate the impact of conservatism accounting on audit fees. Using fixed effects technique, the author finds a positive relationship between conservatism accounting and audit fees. The results suggest that firms with more conservative accounting (with strong internal corporate governance) could be more likely to demand high-quality audit to strengthen investor confidence in financial information and, thus pay higher audit fees. Therefore, this study supports signaling and complementary theories. The results also suggest that Big 4, growth, firm size, and leverage are positively related with audit fees. To Spain, audit risk and ROA are also positively related with audit fees.
The Accidental Home Educator
Authors: English Rebecca
Published: November 2020

Previous conceptions of the choice to home educate have focused on a dualism between ideology and pedagogy. Indeed, the discussion around home education choice frequently falls back onto these two categories to explore and explain the choice to home educate. Using empirical literature on the choice to home educate that presents the experiences of families who home educate, this chapter instead proposes a different dichotomy. Rather than ideologues and pedagogues, this chapter proposes there are two choosers based on their a priori/a posteriori relationship with schooling for their children, and, instead, they choose either because of ideological or pedagogical reasons; rather, they choose either deliberately or accidentally. Using the theoretical lens of responsibilisation, this chapter argues parents are responsibilised toward home education in response to risks they perceive. These risks could be experienced a posteriori, through direct exposure to their child's schooling, or a priori, through a belief about what schools are like.
Willed Learning
Authors: Ricci Carlo , Growden Brooke , Michaud Debbie
Published: November 2020

The authors share that they have no doubt that mainstream schooling wounds people deeply. From a holistic framework, people within mainstream schooling experience stresses to their mind, body, spirit, and emotions. Their souls are under siege as they are controlled, judged, manipulated, and oppressed. It is said of mainstream schooling that it creates opportunities, the authors say that it limits opportunities. People within mainstream schooling experience fear and anxiety, and fear and anxiety are not conducive to learning, rather they diminishes learning. In what follows, Brooke and Debbie will share their stories of how they found willed learning and what that has meant to them and their children. Their story is informed by Carlo Ricci's framework of willed learning.
It Is All in the Name of Good
Authors: Edri Avishag , Dahan Kalev Henriette
Published: November 2020

Homeschooling is a phenomenon in which parents seek to maintain the responsibility for their children's education, rather than sending them to school. In this chapter, mothers' motives for choosing home schooling in Israel are explored. Data were collected through semi-structured deep interviews with 27 mothers. The findings indicate that the main motives are set on a continuum of criticism against school and the notion that “home is the best resolution” to that criticism. It suggests further work needs to be undertaken in this area to connect Israel's unique situation to the experiences of mothers throughout the world who are choosing home education.

Authors: Wen Ju-May , Dung Hai , Liu Eric Zhi Feng , Lin Chun-Hung , Huang Shihping Kevin
Published: November 2020

This study was based on the vicarious learning theory, and the teaching model included learning, practice, self-assessment, and peer-assessment. The authors conducted the study in a spiral manner. There are three research questions in this study: 1) Can learners' achievement be elevated by news video production teaching model? 2) Can learners' oral presentation be elevated by the news video production teaching model? 3) Will the learning outcomes be affected by self-assessment and peer-assessment? The teaching period was 18 weeks, and the study objects were six foreign learners from the current Chinese course in one university. The study results revealed 1) the whole semester teaching model promoted students attaining learning outcomes, 2) the whole semester teaching model enhanced the learners' oral presentation abilities, 3) self-evaluation and peer-evaluation affected the learners' learning achievement. In future studies, the authors suggest caring for the learners' learning bottlenecks in any moment and infusing real material into Chinese teaching.
A New Design of a Functional H Filter for Linear Singular Systems With an Additional Unknown Input and Bounded Disturbances
Authors: Fatma Hamzaoui , Malek Khadhraoui , Hassani Messaoud
Published: November 2020

This paper proposes a design of a H_¥ filter for a functional of the system state that the authors call functional H_¥ filter in time domain for linear singular systems with additional unknown inputs and bounded disturbances. So, this research proposes the estimation of a part of the unknown inputs which will be injected on the system state equation besides the functional state estimation. The design procedure is based on the unbiasedness of the estimation error using Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory and H_¥ criterion. The designed filter is characterized by a gain which is the solution of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed approach.

Authors: Thaqi Xhevdet , Valladares Ana Isabel Rodríguez , Aljimi Ekrem
Published: November 2020

Changes in today society and in the development of technology demand a greater interest in mathematical knowledge in education and didactic research on professional work. Recent research seems to confirm that mathematics is still under-worked. This is the starting point from which the interest in studying the mathematical knowledge is necessary for the professional development of perspective primary school mathematics teachers arises. The study of mathematics curricula for the training of prospective teachers in different universities and their historical evolution will provide those with necessary criteria to organize, formulate, and develop the mathematical content of this didactic point of view and to establish the diagnosis of the systematic and the subsequent intervention in the teacher training institutions. According to the recommendations of the researches and other scientific events, the basic concepts and properties of mathematics should be included in the curricula of study programs for primary school teacher training.
The Social Psychology of Cryptocurrency
Authors: Tsuji Mineo
Published: November 2020

Regarding accounting for holdings of cryptocurrencies, following the ASBJ's PITF 38 in March 2018, the IFRS Interpretations Committee finalized Agenda Paper 12: Holdings of Cryptocurrencies in June 2019. However, despite PITF 38 regarding cryptocurrencies as a new type of asset in developing a new standard, Agenda Paper No. 12 uses existing IFRS, which describes that the holdings of cryptocurrencies for sale in the ordinary course of business will meet the definition of inventories under IAS 2 and as such be measured at fair value. However, if IAS 2 is not applicable, IAS 38 will apply, and cryptocurrencies will then meet the definition of an intangible asset. As a rule, financial statements should reflect the economic circumstances resulting from the psychology of cryptocurrency users. To clarify what is in users' minds, from May to June 2019, concerning the holding of cryptocurrencies, a questionnaire was administered in Japan. The results show whether, under the new accounting rules, users know their minds or respond to their information needs.
Managing to Facilitate Cross-Sectoral Inter-Organizational Collaborations
Authors: Kawabata Yuki
Published: November 2020

The promotion of new and competitive industries through cross-sectoral inter-organizational collaborations are tackled in many regions globally. This study explores the management of facilitating collaboration with consideration of the planned approach to change based on change management theory. The “initial conditions,” “field,” and “emerging interaction toward the collaborations” are clarified as key elements for management through intervention. It is considered how these interventions are implemented on these elements. A conceptual model for considering comprehensive management of the self-organization process toward collaboration is proposed. In the case study, experiences of the medical technology industry of three German states are examined. The activities of cluster organizations of these states, which provide services to facilitate cross-sectoral collaborations, are scrutinized. The results of the case study are comparatively analyzed, and the modified conceptual framework is depicted by reflecting the findings of the study. The implications are then discussed.
Characteristics and Development Patterns of the Process of Vocational Education for Chinese and Japanese Performing Arts
Authors: Shimizu Takuya , Nishio Kumiko
Published: November 2020

The main purpose of this research is to contribute to the literature related to management studies and studies on performing arts education by shedding light on the important roles played by formal education at schools for training performers and management talents. The research compares the process of educational modernization for Chinese traditional theater and Japanese Takarazuka Revue to illuminate respective characteristics and developmental patterns. Although Japan and China have very different modernization processes and political systems, both cases of performing arts have been relying on school institutions for human resources development which has evolved from apprenticeship or something alike. By this comparison, the research then clarifies the ways schools are involved in improving skills and inculcating occupational identities of performers and management talents, thereby constantly producing capable young talents. Finally, the research shows how the result can provide a better view on vocational education for future research in the related field.

The existing system uses mainly heat pumps to cover the most of the hot water needs. The purpose of this work is to explore possible solutions to optimize the electricity and the water consumption of the installation.
Synthesis of Silicon- and Carbonate-doped Biomimetic Hydroxyapatite in the Presence of Citrate Ions and its Physicochemical, Bioactivity Properties
Authors: Hoang Viet Hung , Troubitsin Mikhail Aleksandrovich , Furda Liubov Vladimirovna , Nguyen Thi Tham Hong
Published: November 2020

The present study investigated the phase composition, the structural, morphological, and bioactivity properties of silicon- and carbonate-doped biomimetic hydroxyapatite synthesized by precipitation from aqueous solutions in the presence of different amounts of citrate ions. The X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses confirmed that all the samples exhibited single-phase. Base on the results of the morphological study, all the obtained samples consisted of porous agglomerated particles made up of tiny crystallites in the nanometer range. The change in structural order, as well as the decrease in particle size and degree of crystallinity result from the presence of citrate ions were revealed by X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, and scanning electron microscopy analyses. Bioactivity properties of samples were studied by analyzing their bioresorbability in physiological saline (ω (NaCl) = 0.9%) and evaluating their solubility in SBF solution after a certain period of soaking time. The amount of the released Ca2+ ions was found to increase with the increasing concentration of citrate ions introduced in the synthesis process. The better solubility of material with the presence of citrate ions was beneficial in the growth of apatite on its surface that made produced material more biocompatible.
Shortest paths in arbitrary plane domains
Authors: Hoehn L. C. , Oversteegen L. G. , Tymchatyn E. D.
Published: November 2020

Let
$\Omega $
be a connected open set in the plane and
$\gamma : [0,1] \to \overline {\Omega }$
a path such that
$\gamma ((0,1)) \subset \Omega $
. We show that the path
$\gamma $
can be “pulled tight” to a unique shortest path which is homotopic to
$\gamma $
, via a homotopy h with endpoints fixed whose intermediate paths
$h_t$
, for
$t \in [0,1)$
, satisfy
$h_t((0,1)) \subset \Omega $
. We prove this result even in the case when there is no path of finite Euclidean length homotopic to
$\gamma $
under such a homotopy. For this purpose, we offer three other natural, equivalent notions of a “shortest” path. This work generalizes previous results for simply connected domains with simple closed curve boundaries.
Fenomen popularności utworów poetyckich Kazimierza Tetmajera wśród kompozytorów
Authors: Al-Araj Anna
Published: November 2020

The Phenomenon of Kazimierz Tetmajer’s Lyrical Pieces among Composers The article discusses the problem of the popularity of lyrical pieces by Kazimierz Tetmajer among composers. The author reviews the factors which could have influenced the popularisation of selected lyric poems in the consciousness of musicians, and these include emotionality rooted in romanticism, the perfection of the poetic workshop and “musical” moulding of the linguistic material. The latter of these characteristics, analysed in the chapter “Tetmajer a muzyka” (“Tetmajer vs. Music”), is the central topic of this article. The author examines the “musicality” of Tetmajer’s lyrical pieces on the level of the theme (where the issue of music terminology arises), sound (“tunefulness,” “melodiousness,” “rhythmicality”) and construction (being inspired with a musical form of rondo in a poem Anioł Pański (Angelus)). It is probably Tetmajer’s fascination with the art of sound, having its reflection in the linguistic material, which contributed to the composers’ avid interest in his literary oeuvre.

Coronavirus and Politics: Demands and Values in the Age of the Pandemic
Authors: Parenkov D. A. , Petrov K. E.
Published: November 2020

The article discusses the political eff ects of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic in the framework of Terror Management Theory. Growing fears caused by the pandemic provoke mortality salience across the globe. Political and psychological eff ects of mortality salience are manifested in the strengthening of conservative orientations and support for status quo. Awareness of mortality provides support to power structures, incumbent political leaders, strengthening patriotic attitudes and rejection of external groups. The pandemic strengthens the eff ect of rallying around the fl ag and results in an increase in the ratings of ruling political leaders. The growing support for political leaders confi rms the orientation towards maintaining the status quo and conservative attitudes. In a pandemic, patriotic feeling, the demand for order, the growth of distrust of fellow citizens, and the rejection of freedoms in favor of security come to the fore. In the context of mortality salience orientation to support specifi c types of political leadership is intensifying. It seems that in the near future, electorally successful types of leaders will include two major types. Firstly, politicians inclined to charismatic control of the trust of their supporters based on a confi dent and uncompromising orientation to their own ego, most often on the basis of previously gained fame. Secondly, those politicians who are capable of expressing simple human closeness to ordinary people and are focused on creating and maintaining social ties with a constituency. Charismatic leadership is oriented towards personal decision-making at leader’s own peril and risk. The second type is associated with horizontal dialogue with citizens. and creating the maximum numberof personal connections. In the current situation, the role of personal qualities of leaders will only grow, both as objects of attitudes and aspirations on the part of the masses, and as subjects of the political process, making political decisions that are crucial for society.

¿Dos Ser y Tiempo?
Authors: Leyte Arturo
Published: November 2020

Al hilo de la ambigüedad inherente a toda obra relevante de filosofía, para cuya prueba se convoca el caso de las dos ediciones de la Crítica de la razón pura y su interna diferencia, la contribución plantea sendos sentidos de “la ambigüedad” de Ser y tiempo: por una parte, el que se refiere al papel que juega la Introducción a la obra, que define un proyecto que acabó independizado de la obra efectivamente escrita (habría así dos Ser y tiempo: el proyectado y fracasado, expuesto en la Introducción, y el finalmente escrito, que ganó autonomía propia respecto al proyecto); por otra parte, el relativo al intento de exponer lo in-exponible (el sentido del ser), que parte de una imposibilidad previa que a la vez tiene que vencer: “La exposición de la pregunta por el sentido del ser” se tornaría en ese caso “fracaso de la exposición de la cuestión del ser”.

A dieta cetogênica pode auxiliar no tratamento do câncer? Uma análise crítica
Authors: Figueiredo Fabiana Neves , De Salles Painelli Vitor
Published: November 2020

Existe um crescente interesse na eficácia terapêutica da dieta cetogênica, dada a hipótese de que a restrição de carboidratos (CHO) favoreceria uma menor atividade de células tumorais. Mesmo assim, tais dietas continuam sendo um tema controverso na área de oncologia. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo sumarizar os estudos que já investigaram os potenciais efeitos terapêuticos da dieta cetogênica no tratamento do Câncer em pacientes humanos. Foi realizada uma revisão narrativa da literatura, nas bases de dados Literatura Latino- Americana e do Caribe (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Sistema Online de Busca e Análise de Literatura Médica (MEDLINE) e base Centro Latino Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde (BIREME). As seguintes palavras-chaves foram utilizadas isoladamente ou em associação: câncer, nutrição, restrição de carboidrato, células cancerígenas, e dieta cetogênica. Artigos publicados entre 2010 e 2018 e nos idiomas Inglês e Português foram selecionados. Nenhum estudo clínico randomizado foi encontrado. Ao longo dos estudos revisados, os quais se incluíam em sua maioria desenhos quasiexperimentais e estudos de caso, 221 pacientes foram selecionados. Resultados mistos foram observados, tanto apoiando quanto refutando a eficácia terapêutica da dieta cetogênica no tratamento de pacientes com câncer. Importantemente, apenas 92 (42%) desses pacientes foram submetidos à dieta cetogênica, dos quais somente 41% tiveram boa aderência à dieta. Estudos clínicos randomizados, investigando grandes segmentos de pacientes por longos períodos, com metodologias e protocolos dietéticos comparáveis, ainda são necessários antes que tal dieta possa ser recomendada como tratamento complementar do Câncer.

Authors: Silva Aline Souza Carneiro da , Vaz Eliane Moreira
Published: November 2020

Atualmente, a terapia nutricional alcalina tem suscitado grande discussão no meio científico, como fator de proteção renal. Com o objetivo de determinar o nível de evidência científica dos trabalhos publicados sobre a influência da dieta e água alcalina na redução de complicações na doença renal crônica, foi realizada revisão de literatura em seis bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) da BIREME, PubMed, Web of Science (WoS), SCOPUS e Cochrane Library, utilizando as seguintes palavras-chave: água alcalina, doença renal crônica, dieta alcalina, frutas, verduras, taxa de filtração glomerular, carga potencial de ácido renal. Foram encontradas 1071 referências. Excluindo as duplicatas e selecionando os estudos que tratassem especificamente a temática, totalizaram 34 artigos. Após a seleção dos artigos e classificação quanto ao tipo de estudo foi determinado o nível de evidência científica dos artigos, segundo Hood. Os estudos selecionados por esta revisão consideram que as dietas alcalinas a base de frutas e verduras e a administração de bicarbonato podem interferir nas complicações da Doença Renal Crônica, como redução da acidose metabólica e manutenção da taxa de filtração glomerular, sem ter sido possível encontrar o papel da água mineral alcalina nesse desfecho. Entretanto, apenas 27% dos estudos apresentaram evidência científica superior a cinco, em uma escala de um a dez, em que dez apresenta maior evidência científica e um a menor. Esses dados nos remetem a necessidade de mais estudos com melhores desenhos, maiores casuísticas, sem vieses e conflitos de interesse.

Authors: Drummond Barboza Carolina , Paula de Souza Ismael
Published: November 2020

Objetivo: Descrever, a partir de um relato de caso, a atuação da nutrição clínica na redução da produção de resíduos por retorno de refeições (almoço) de pacientes hospitalizados não consumidas. Método: Após uma semana teste onde foi observado o quantitativo de refeições intactas que retornava do almoço diário dos pacientes, foram traçadas estimativas de desperdício diárias e mensais. Nesse momento foi realizado uma intervenção na atuação da nutrição clínica com objetivo de reduzir a compra de refeições evitáveis sendo esses dados coletados por três meses subsequente a intervenção. Resultados: Foi observado que o principal fator que influenciou no retorno da refeição foi o jejum seguido de alta hospitalar. Ao final do terceiro mês foi observado uma economia real de R$ 3.781,53 consequente do resultado da captação precoce das principais causas de retorno. No mês de fevereiro houve a maior redução na compra de refeições evitáveis e no mês de abril o menor retorno em número de refeições (28/mês totalizado 14 kg). Conclusão: Foi possível observar que a intervenção proposta apresentou resultado positivo na redução da produção de resíduos e custo.

تمثل القواعد سندًا للعلوم، وعمادًا يلجأ إليه القاصدون، وحين كانت أمور العقيدة من أهم ما يحتاج المسلم إدراكه، رغبت أن أستنبط عددًا من القواعد العقدية، قمت باستمدادها من كتب الأئمة المبرزين، في عصور مختلفة، تعين المسلم على إدراك أصول عقيدته، وإيراد الأدلة والحجج، ودفع الشبهات، وقد قسمتها لثلاثة أنواع، فمنها التقريري المستمد من القرآن والسنة، ومنها العقلي الجدلي المستنبط من قواعد التفكير، ومنها المشترك بينهما.
الكلمات المفتاحية: القاعدة، العقدية، العقيدة، الاعتقاد، الجويني، الغزالي، ابن مكي الحموي، السنوسي

Published: November 2020

The Patient Safety Goals (SKP) drive specific improvements in patient safety. These objectives highlight problematic areas of health care in a system implemented in hospitals to make patient care safer. This study aims to analyze the implementation of patient safety goals in Makassar City Hospital. This type of research is mixed methods research. The research uses a sequential explanatory strategy. The results showed that the implementation of patient safety targets based on the Hospital Patient Safety Target Standards (SNARS) at Makassar City Hospital has a good implementation of patient safety targets. The implementation of patient safety targets in terms of leadership in the Makassar City Regional General Hospital (RSUD), namely the awarding of awards has never been done, and supervision is carried out by looking at patient safety reports. In terms of human resources, training related to patient safety is still lacking and only during accreditation. Regarding policies, there are SOPs related to patient safety incidents and there is no clear sanction, only a warning. For teamwork, there is no availability of a patient safety team in the treatment room, only KMKP has a patient safety team. In addition, the implementation of patient safety goals in terms of communication, namely the existence of positive feedback given and followed up by the Patient Safety and Quality Committee (KMKP), as well as lack of socialization by KMKP, only at the time of accreditation.

Authors: Vincent Deborah , Ojo Samson , Omeje Hyginus
Published: November 2020

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the utilization of building information modelling (BIM) software for project planning in construction industries in Ondo-State.
Approach/Methodology/Design: Three research questions guided the study. A survey research design was adopted for the study. The population for the study comprised of 31 construction industries with 126 Contractors and Building consultants in construction industries in Ondo-State, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire consisting of 41 items developed by the ERASMUS + programme was used for data collection. Two experts from the Department of Industrial Technical Education (Building/Woodwork), University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and one expert from Bablor Construction Company, Akure South, Ondo-State validated the instrument. The reliability co-efficient of the instrument was 0.86. Data collected were analyzed using mean to answer the research questions, while t-test was used to answer the hypotheses.
Findings: It was found that the extent to which building information modelling (BIM) software are utilized are still very low. The study therefore, recommend that education and training programmes on BIM software uses should be organized for construction industries, BIM should be made compulsory for all personnel involved in construction process and a standard contract document should be made available by the government/professional bodies for all building constructors to ensure the usability of BIM for construction project to enhance the construction design, process, analyze and resolve potential hazards and ensure that the building project is completed timely.
Practical Implications: The study revealed the benefit of BIM software application for project planning Hence, the importance of BIM software cannot be overemphasized in achieving high building quality, innovative virtual design and project management in the modern world.
Originality/value: This paper shows that Building information modelling software is an innovative way to practically design and manage project plan. BIM adoption is needed to enhance building performance and operation.
Effect of Interest Rate Liberalisation on Domestic Savings in Nigeria
Authors: Dahunsi Olusola
Published: November 2020

Purpose: Empirical investigations into the interest rate effects on domestic savings have provided mixed results. Hence, this study examined the interest rate effects on domestic savings in line with the financial liberalization hypothesis since the period of structural adjustment program (SAP) in Nigeria.
Approach/Methodology/Design: Data on gross domestic savings, interest rate, gross capital formation, and rate of inflation from 1986 to 2018 were obtained and analyzed using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) technique.
Findings: The results revealed that interest rate and gross domestic savings are co-integrated in the long-run. The study showed that while capital formation positively affects domestic savings, the interest rate affects domestic savings negatively since the economic reforms of 1986 in Nigeria.
Practical Implications: The results of the study are important for the Nigerian government to promote home-grown investments through domestic savings and capital formation. This will be made possible in the face of interest rate liberalization in which a higher interest rate serves as incentives for the household to save more thereby increasing domestic savings of the economy.
Originality/value: The study further revealed that the long-run relationship exists between domestic private investments and interest rates.
