The Effect of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic on Africa's Truck Drivers by Christopher M. Kribs-Zaleta, Melanie Lee, Christine Román, Shari Wiley, Carlos M. Hernández-Suárez

“…In thispaper we analyze these effects via two models, one employing a switch andthe other a Verhulst saturation function, to describe the rate at which newdrivers are recruited in terms of the supply and demand for them in thegeneral population. Results provide an estimate of the epidemic's economicimpact on the transportation sector through the loss of truck drivers(an estimated 10% per year, with endemic levels near 90%).…”

The Impact of Renewable Energy and Economic Growth on Environmental Pollution: Using Second-Generation Panel Techniques by Aouini Samir, Beggat Hanane, Mahlous Zakia

“…This study examines the impact of economic growth, renewable energy consumption, and environmental stringency on environmental pollution within the framework of testing the environmental Kuznets hypothesis for 34 African countries during the period from 1990 to 2020 using second-generation panel estimation techniques. To ensure the stability of the variables, the study applied smoothing of the slopes, CADF, and CIPS unit root tests, and the Westerlund co-integration test to confirm the existence of a long-term balanced relationship between the variables based on the results obtained from the CCEMG model estimates of jointly correlated effects. …”
