Summary: This study identifies the key drivers of green growth in Sub-Saharan Africa using advanced quantile regression methods. It shows that renewable energy currently raises emissions due to transitional energy systems, while green-oriented FDI helps reduce emissions, especially in high-pollution contexts. GDP growth increases environmental pressure, forest areas consistently mitigate emissions, and urbanization and population have mixed effects. The paper contributes new evidence on how these factors operate across the emissions distribution, offering targeted policy insights for renewable transition, green investment, and sustainable land management.

Summary: The findings indicate that zakat literacy, positive attitudes towards zakat, institutional support through well-established zakat institutions and high levels of religiosity significantly influence the intention of Ethiopian Muslims to fulfil their zakat obligations. These findings underscore the need for robust, centralised zakat institutions that prioritise transparent administration and effective collection mechanisms. Lessons from successful zakat models in other countries could inspire the development of similar systems tailored to Ethiopia’s sociocultural dynamics, directly supporting poverty alleviation and socio-economic development.

The dominance of non-renewable energy in electricity consumption and access highlights the need for renewable energy integration. The reliability of the ARDL model was confirmed using diagnostic tests.

Summary: The study found a negative effect of COVID-19 on the health insurance companies in Saudi Arabia during the first week of the anticipation period and continued until the event day. Negative abnormal returns persisted until the end of the total study period but were not statistically significant except for only three days in the post-event window (March 05, 08, and 09 2020). This means the Saudi cooperative insurance market was experiencing a period of anticipation and anxiety before the announcement of the first case of Covid-19; however, the information was insufficient and unconfirmed. During the adjustment window, the market tried to adjust itself and react to the event efficiently, but it could not do so
