Remittances inflow and economic growth nexus in Sub-Saharan Africa: Do institutional quality and macroeconomic stability matter?
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The challenge of achieving "growth" without development in numerous developing countries, particularly within the African region, has instigated a discourse on the effects of institutional quality and the macroeconomic environment on the primary drivers of growth and remittance inflows. This paper seeks to scrutinize the interplay between capital inflow, remittances, and economic growth in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, considering the moderating influence of institutional and macroeconomic stability. Employing a balanced panel data set encompassing 24 countries from 2005 to 2019, this study investigates the hypothesis that the impact of capital inflow on economic growth varies depending on the institutional quality and macroeconomic stability of the recipient countries. The study employs a DOLS panel-based cointegration approach, revealing heterogeneous slope coefficients, as evidenced by the slope homogeneity test. Furthermore, the cross-sectional dependence test indicates that the panels are independent across different sections. All variables are I (1), as affirmed by the CADF and CIPS tests for unit root. The cointegration test conducted by Pedroni, Kao, and Westerlund establishes that the examined variables maintain long-term relationships. The long-run estimated coefficients derived from the regression analysis using DOLS cointegration demonstrate a positive correlation between per capita income and remittance when interacted with macroeconomic policy. Consequently, addressing institutional quality and macroeconomic stability is imperative, as they play a pivotal role in moderating the efficacy of remittance inflows and their impact on the economic growth of the region.
