    In developing countries, banks play a major role by acting as a conduit for the effective mobilization of funds from the surplus sectors of an economy for onward lending to the deficit sectors for productive investments that will in turn increase the level of employment and economic growth. There has being a rising trend in unemployment rate in Nigeria and South Africa and hence, the need for the study to assess the effectiveness of banking system credit in curbing unemployment rate by making a comparative analysis of Nigeria and South Africa covering period of 1991 to 2018. The study employed the unit root test, Johansen cointegration test, vector error correction model and VAR impulse response function in determining the relationship between the variables. The major findings revealed that banking system credit matters in curbing unemployment rate in South Africa than in Nigeria. Also, other macroeconomic factors such as lending rate, inflation rate, Government expenditure and population growth were significant enough in influencing unemployment rate in South Africa than in Nigeria. While foreign direct investment was a significant factor in reducing unemployment rate in Nigeria than in South Africa. The cointegration test showed a long-run relationship between the variables in both countries while the speed of adjustment coefficient of the vector error correction model is faster in South Africa than in Nigeria. Previous empirical studies on the relationship between banking system credit and unemployment rate have focused much on other regions such as Asia and Europe. Thus, the study is unique as it focused on the African region and also made a comparative analysis by testing the Keynesian theory of employment, interest and money on two emerging African economies which are Nigeria and South Africa.

    Internet websites and mobile applications that provide access to content, goods or services infringing intellectual property rights (IPR) on a commercial scale use the sale of advertising space as one of their revenue sources. In addition to providing a revenue stream to IPR infringers, the presence of advertising for legitimate brands on websites and mobile applications that infringe IPR can confuse consumers. It can lead them to mistakenly believe that the site or application they are accessing provides access to legal content, goods or services. To strengthen the protection of IPR and reduce the harm caused by its infringement, the European Commission sponsored a Memorandum of Understanding on online advertising and IPR (MoU).The MoU signatories represent parties involved in placing, buying, selling and/or facilitating advertising, including advertisers, advertising agencies, trading desks, advertising platforms, advertising networks, advertising exchanges for publishers, sales houses, publishers and IPR owners. They also include representatives or associations of these groups. The EU Intellectual Property Office commissioned White Bullet to carry out the 2021 Ad Monitoring Exercise to assess the impact of the MoU on the online advertising found on IPR-infringing websites during 2021, to evaluate the estimated amount and type of online advertising on IPR-infringing websites and apps, and to estimate the associated ad revenues. This commission is an extension of the work undertaken by White Bullet in 2020 and the first half of 2019 on behalf of the European Commission.

    This study is a part of a project "Comparative analysis of agricultural sectors and rural areas in the pre-accession countries: Agricultural policy developments, situation of the agri-food sector and economic context" funded by Directorate-General Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Commission. The study's main objective is to conduct a comparative analysis of the socio-economic developments and competitiveness of the agri-food sector in the IPARD (Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance rural development programmes) countries (Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Türkiye) at the sectoral and macro levels. The study collects and analyses data on market prices, output values, yields, rural/urban disparities, and various indicators of competitiveness. The study provides insights into the state of the agri-food sector in IPARD countries, identifies areas for improvement, and offers recommendations to enhance competitiveness and rural development. At the macro level, the study finds that IPARD countries are still far behind the EU average in terms of macro-economic developments. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the GDP growth and exports of agri-food products in the respective countries. The agricultural sector in IPARD countries is crucial for their economies and has the potential for competitive advantage. However, small farm size and low productivity, limited export quality, and compliance with standards are challenges that need to be addressed. The study highlights specific subsector strengths and weaknesses, such as high fruit and vegetable yields and low cow milk yields in most IPARD countries. Rural-urban disparities are evident, with difficulties in accessing education in rural areas and gender inequalities. Migration and brain drain contribute to rural depopulation, and poor infrastructure negatively affects competitiveness. The study recommends investing in trade and transport infrastructure, creating incentives for youth in rural areas, and increasing yields through technological innovation, education, and cultivation of unused lands, while maintaining a balance between efficiency improvements and sustainability.

    This study is a part of a project "Comparative analysis of agricultural sectors and rural areas in the pre-accession countries: Agricultural policy developments, situation of the agri-food sector and economic context" funded by Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Commission. It is part of a series of assessments, aiming to monitor the development of the agri-food sector in the Western Balkan countries/territories (WB) and Türkiye. The study focuses on the changes in the years 2020 and 2021 and the developments of currently important topics, such as Covid-19, greening, and the approximation of agriculture and rural development policies to the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The WB countries/territories and Türkiye are taking steady steps towards EU accession, by narrowing down the gaps with EU member states in the development of their agricultural sectors and rural areas. Competitiveness, environmental protection and development of rural areas are key policy objectives across the countries/territories. All countries/territories have established operational institutional structures, that need to be continuously upgraded. The IPARD (Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance rural development programmes) beneficiary countries have adopted the third IPARD programme for the period 2021-2027. The budget spent for agriculture and rural development varies in the pre-accession countries/territories. The crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the crisis linked to the war in Ukraine have re-emphasized the importance and need for an adequate agricultural policy, supporting stable food systems. The publication ends with a set of recommendations for improvement of the policy and sector development.

    Ministries are government structures that are located at the intersection between cycles of public policies, political party relations and the organizational design of direct public administration. Despite their relevance, the trajectory of the ministries over time is poorly understood, with an explanatory gap persisting as to the factors that lead to the creation, stability, transformation and extinction of these structures. Faced with this gap, this Discussion Paper sought to address the following central question: is there an underlying pattern to the trajectory of ministerial structures in different countries? To this end, a comparative analysis of the trajectories of ministries pertaining to 21 countries over a period of thirty years (1990-2020) was undertaken, with the aim of capturing convergent and divergent dynamics in view of the political systems of the countries studied and the thematic areas of the ministries. Preliminary findings indicate that ministries are strongly prone to stability regardless of the political system of the country in question, while changes in competence are the most frequent category of transformation. In addition, the longest running ministries are those with thematic areas related to the structuring activities of the State, such as justice and foreign affairs
