Editorial

Abstract

The Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board are proud to present the first issue of the fourth volume of Focus on Research in Contemporary Economics (FORCE). We are driven to establish FORCE which is dedicated to create a well-established venue for high quality research in contemporary Economics. Its content mirrors widespread scholarly approaches and interests within the dimensions of Economics, Finance, Accounting, Banking, Business Administration, Marketing, Management, and other related areas in Social Sciences. Therefore, FORCE’s contributions are not limited to a specific disciplinary philosophy or a particular approach.

This issue features five research articles that report essential findings and implications in Contemporary Economics. In the first article, Chakabva, Bganya & Obokoh (2023) investigates the implication of stock management on the financial performance of SMEs in the mobile industry in Cape Town, South Africa.

In the second article, Oseki , Agbogidi, Okondu, & Aronu (2023) uses various tests such as ADF, Jarque-Bera, and co-integration test to determine the order of integration of variables and examine the short-run and long-run effect of the variables on growth output.

In the third article, Musa (2023) examines the impact of household income on child labour in the Bauchi Local Government Area of Bauchi State.

In the fourth article, Akarsu (2023) analyses the relationship between economic growth and income distributions in line with the latest data announced in Türkiye.

In the fifth article, Kwatra (2023) examines at the long-term relationship between GDP and the GFC and GNS to answer the question whether gross national saving and gross capital formation contribute to Oman’s economic growth.

I would like to thank our authors, reviewers, and readers for their continuous support.
