Eric Fosu Oteng-Abayie
The researcher has conducted extensive research on environmental economics in Ghana, focusing on themes such as industrial growth, urbanization effects, and climate change impacts on energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Their work employs various methodologies, including regression models, panel data analysis, and policy instruments, to explore the relationships between economic development, environmental sustainability, and social policies. Key areas of investigation include the role of financial investments in sustainable development, the impact of external debt on economic growth, and the effectiveness of macroeconomic determinants on aggregate demand for goods and services. The researcher's efforts have contributed significantly to understanding Ghana's role in global climate change mitigation strategies and sustainable development frameworks.
