Abstract

The paper seeks to examine the joint effect of inclusive competitive business and remittance inflows on economic welfare in Africa. It employs a dynamic system GMM for a panel dataset of 54 African economies between 2006 and 2022. The study finds evidence to confirm that both ease of doing business and ease of starting business have a positive long-run effect on economic welfare. The results show a positive impact of remittance inflows on economic welfare growth. We find evidence to support that ease of doing business and ease of starting business individually complements remittance inflows in determining economic welfare. The marginal effect shows that the positive impact of the lagged values of inclusive competitive business on economic welfare is enhanced at higher levels of remittance inflows.
