Public expenditure and economic sustainability: Does institutional quality matter?
This study aims to provide an empirical insight into whether institutional quality moderates the impact of public expenditure on economic sustainability among the Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries. Using a quantitative and explanatory research design, this study sourced a 20‐year longitudinal dataset on 48 SSA countries from the World Development Indicators (WDI) and World Governance Indicators (WGI) databases from 2003 to 2022. Both Pooled OLS and System GMM econometric techniques were employed for analysis. It was found that public expenditure and institutional quality positively and significantly influence economic sustainability. However, institutional quality was found to negatively and significantly moderate this relationship. The practical implication suggests nations may face a trade‐off between maintaining institutional quality and ensuring long‐term economic sustainability. The moderation effect of institutional quality is novel in nature and adds to the body of existing literature.

Urban entrepreneurship, public management and sustainability nexus: Evidence from developing countries
Purpose: This study examines the nexus of urban entrepreneurship, public management and sustainability within the context of developing countries.Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopted a quantitative and descriptive approach, using data from the World Development Indicators (WDI) and the World Bank Entrepreneurship database for 12 developing countries from 2013 to 2018. The analysis was carried out using a panel regression model with fixed effect.Findings: The results show a significant relationship between urban entrepreneurship and economic sustainability; and also, a significant relationship between public management and economic sustainability among developing African countries.Practical Implications: This implies that developing countries need to offer incentives to the private sector to encourage entrepreneurial activities which will subsequently improve economic sustainability.Originality/Value: This study adds to literature by examining the nexus of urban entrepreneurship, public management and sustainability among developing countries in a single model using quantitative approach.
