AbstractThis paper assesses the role of foreign direct investment in economic growth by analyzing the contribution of sectoral external finance in Tanzania. Time series data from 1988 to 2017 and 1999 to 2017 for the general and sector‐specific foreign finance respectively is studied using time series econometrics techniques. More specifically, the autoregressive distributive lag bound test for cointegration and error correction model are employed to evaluate the impact of sector foreign direct investment on growth. The diagnostic tests suggest that our models are free from instability, nonnormality, misspecification, heteroscedasticity, and serial correlation. Estimated long‐ and short‐term coefficients show that the effect of the primary sector foreign direct investment is positive and statistically significant at the 10% and 5% significance levels, respectively. In contrast, that of the secondary and tertiary sectors is insignificant. The coefficient of the general foreign direct investment is found to be statistically insignificant. These results confirm that the type rather than the quantity of foreign direct investment may be more relevant in explaining economic growth. Other control variables exhibit their expected signs except that of openness to trade. Based on these findings, the study recommends more and strategic foreign direct investment incentives to the primary sector.

In 1914, the East London Federation of Suffragettes, led by Sylvia Pankhurst, split from the WSPU. Sylvia''s mother and sister, Emmeline and Christabel, had encouraged her to give up her work with the poor women of East London - but Sylvia refused. Besides campaigning for women to have an equal right to vote from their headquarters in Bow, the ELFS worked on a range of equality issues which mattered to local women: they built a toy factory, providing work and a living wage for local women; they opened a subsidised canteen where women and children could get cheap, nutritious food; and they laun

La prévention est le lieu d'une confrontation politique majeure aux États-Unis. De plus en plus, les stratégies de prévention s'inspirent d'une idéologie qui reporte sur les individus la responsabilité de leur santé et de leur bien-être personnel. L'article analyse comment, depuis la fin des années soixante-dix, s'est imposée cette conception individualisante de la prévention et comment elle parvient à influencer les décisions de l'État, tant en ce qui concerne le financement que l'orientation de sa politique de santé.
L'article décrit les interventions récentes de l'administration Reagan visant à limiter la portée de diverses réglementations et agences gouvernementales vouées à la prévention, qu'il s'agisse de conditions de travail, d'environnement ou d'hygiène publique.
Deux théories étiologiques s'affrontent : l'une qui reçoit le soutien du gouvernement, des industries, du pouvoir médical met l'accent sur les habitudes quotidiennes pathogènes; l'autre met en relief l'importance des facteurs sociaux; certains secteurs du mouvement ouvrier, les écologistes, certaines agences gouvernementales tentent de la défendre. Mais le rapport des forces est inégal. Cependant, peut-on imaginer que, dans un contexte de détérioration croissante du niveau de vie, on puisse continuer de croire que la santé, comme toute autre chose, n'est qu'une question de volonté individuelle ?

This study examines the dynamic relationship between public debt and economic growth in Tanzania, focusing on causal links between the two variables and exploring potential debt thresholds. Using quarterly time series data from March 2005 to June 2022, we employ individual unit root and Johansen's cointegration tests to establish long-term relationships. We estimate the Vector Error Correction Model and conduct the Granger causality test. The Threshold Model explores the debt threshold. Our findings reveal a significant positive long-term relationship between the two variables, with the direction of causality running from economic growth to domestic debt. Notably, the positive impact of domestic debt is pronounced when the domestic debt-to-GDP ratio falls between 31.3% and 35.2%. Beyond this threshold, the established relationship becomes statistically insignificant. The paper advocates leveraging debt financing to support productive investments for long-term economic growth. This recommendation holds significance for Tanzania and other countries across sub-Saharan Africa. However, it is crucial to undertake tailored country analyses that account for the distinct socioeconomic and political landscapes of the region's economies. These tailored analyses give valuable insights for domestic economies and global financing institutions, facilitating the formulation of context-specific debt management strategies that contribute to sustainable economic growth.

Abstract
This paper explores the bilateral trade relations between Tanzania and China by examining the trend, intensity, and the determinants of the Tanzania exports to China from 1988 to 2018. It augments the traditional Gravity Model of bilateral trade and employs the dynamic Autoregressive Distributed Lag and Error Correction Model techniques. In general, the two partners have witnessed a tremendous trade increase over time. Empirically, the influence of Tanzania's economic size and foreign inflows on exports are significant in the short and long run. Specifically, the effect of the economic size is positive throughout, while foreign capital is positive in the short run. On the other hand, the estimated coefficients of the population, exchange rate, and relative distance are significant only in the long run. This study recommends expanding the national income and strategic FDI attraction, among others, to enhance Tanzania's export capacity and eventually trade with China and the globe.
