The Impact of Trade Openness on Economic Growth in the Case of Turkey

International development scholars have advanced contrasting theoretical and empirical explanations for the relationship between trade and economic growth in the last fifty years. Turkey has great resource potential that may not be available in other countries .Turkey is one of the areas that have diversity in terms of trade components. Due to this condition, in 2014, Turkey was among the best countries in producing and exporting goods and services as well as in Trade Openness. This helped increasing the gross domestic product (GDP). This study is analyzing the impact of trade openness on economic growth in the case of Turkey. We have applied the ARDL model to examine for a short and long run relationship between trade openness and economic growth over the sample period 1960 - 2014. Our results confirm co-integration among the series. Moreover, in the short run, trade openness promotes economic growth; while in the long run this relationship does not exist. Furthermore the results refer that in the long run this relationship is positive and statistically insignificant.   Keywords: Trade Openness, Economic Growth, ARDL Applications - Turke

Challenges of Humanitarian Logistics on disaster management: The experience of Corona Pandemic in Tanzania

Despite the government of Tanzania's multiple measures to combat the coronavirus epidemic, there is still a lot of misery and human death that is recorded from time to time. The goal of this research was to determine the role of coordination, transportation, and information and communication technology in the performance of humanitarian operations during the coronavirus pandemic and to give recommendations for how to improve it. The data was collected via a questionnaire from a sample of six referral hospitals in Dar es Salaam and the Coastal Region using quantitative methodologies and an explanatory research methodology. Using descriptive data analysis, the mean and standard deviation of the findings were computed, and the data were then summarized using frequency distribution tables before being analyzed using a multiple regression model. All independent factors demonstrated a significant positive relationship with humanitarian relief performance, including coordination, transportation, and information communication technology (p0.05). For better humanitarian relief operation performance, the study recommended that referral hospitals management ensure that there are adequate facilities for distribution of relief requirements, the required materials/ facilities arrive on time and adequate ICT facilities for coordination of all stakeholders in the relief operation
