OBJECTIVES To estimate hepatitis C virus (HCV) viremic rate, defined as the proportion of HCV chronically infected individuals out of all ever infected individuals, in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). METHODS Sources of data were systematically-gathered and standardized databases of the MENA HCV Epidemiology Synthesis Project. Meta-analyses were conducted using DerSimonian-Laird rando...

In this study, we investigated the impact of COVID-19 investor sentiment (CS), number cases (CC), and deaths (CD) on bank stock returns in 16 MENA countries. addition, examined interaction effects CS with CC CD returns. Lastly, looked at whether Islamic banks outperformed conventional during pandemic. Based monthly data from Middle East North Africa (MENA) countries February 2020 to July 2021, ...

Purpose ― This article explores the causal link between stock and currency returns in The Middle Eastern North African (MENA) countries from January 2011 through February 2020. Methods study uses Vector autoregressive (VAR) Markov switching vector (MS-VAR) models to investigate dynamic causality equity exchange rate markets. Findings Results indicate that this relation depends on state of Furth...

Abstract This study aims to explore the validity of Phillips curve for eight (8) countries from Middle East and North Africa (MENA), namely Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Malta, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia over period 1991–2019. The panel autoregressive distributed lag/pooled mean group (ARDL/PMG) estimation is employed in because nature data. results ARDL/PMG reveal that there no trade-off...

The changing macro-level relationship between fertility and development (i.e., the standard of living, health education) from negative to positive for most advanced economies has received considerable attention recently. Using aggregate data, we compare in Western countries with Middle East North Africa (MENA) region, where rates are higher than other regions identical levels development. To un...

The main purpose of this paper is analyses the short and long run relationship between budget deficit and trade deficit in some MENA countries. The data cover the period from 1971-2000 (and for I.R. IRAN 1 959-2003).The relationship between these variables will be analyses in short and long run by using Johansen cointegration tests, ECM, and Granger causality test. The empirical evidence provid...
