The linkage between natural gas consumption and industrial output: new evidence based on time series analysis

2023 , Mohd Shahidan Shaari , Temitayo Blessing Majekodunmi , Nor Fadzilah Zainal , Nor Hidayah Harun , Abdul Rahim Ridzuan

This study is the first to examine the impacts of industrial gas consumption on industrial output in Malaysia due to its significance in the industrial sector. The present study aims to provide valuable insights into sustainable development and carbon emission reduction. The augmented distributed lag (ARDL) approach was employed to explore the relationships between gas consumption, foreign direct investment (FDI), financial development, capital, labor, trade openness, and industrial yield. Gas consumption, FDI, and capital significantly affect industrial output in the short and long runs. Nonetheless, the impacts of labor and financial development were only observed in the long term, while trade openness produced no notable influence on industrial output. The results could lead to critical policy implications as natural gas consumption is associated with lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions than non-renewable energy sources, such as oil and coal. Consequently, promoting increased gas utilization in the industrial sector could serve as a crucial driver for sustainable development and environmental protection by simultaneously reducing environmental damage and enhancing output. The current study provided valuable quantitative knowledge for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and any parties intending to advance sustainable economic growth while addressing environmental challenges

Macroeconomic determinants of military expenditure in Malaysia

2020 , Abdul Rahim Ridzuan , Mohd Shahidan Shaari , Nur Surayya Mohd Saudi , Vikniswari Vija Kumaran , Mohamad Idham Md Razak

The decreasing trend of Malaysian annual allocation towards military expenditure in the past 16 years ago has become a subject of interest for this research paper. This paper aim to investigates either the selected macroeconomic variables such as domestic investment, exchange rates, inflation, trade openness and population growth could be the factors that lead towards lower government spending in this country. The ARDL regression is introduced based on the data span range from 1970 until 2016. The long run elasticities showcased that low inflation and currency appreciation lead towards higher government spending on military expenditure while deepening in trade openness cause lower spending on military. The role of inflation again is being highlight as it is also granger cause military expenditure in Malaysia. The list of policy recommendation is being discuss and hopefully it could give a fresh insight to the policymakers with regards to this research topic.

2023 , Bright Akwasi Gyamfi , Stephen Taiwo Onifade , Abdul Rahim Ridzuan , Mohd Shahidan Shaari , Pabitra Kumar Jena

In the wake of various catastrophic consequences of climate change, Malaysia, a rapidly developing economy, is also inevitably experiencing environmental degradation that merits prompt and serious attention from policymakers and its government. Hence, this study simultaneously highlights the short and long-run dynamic connections between carbon emission in Malaysia and the trio of corruption levels, foreign investment inflow, and trade liberalization. The study also controls for a combination of other factors including energy use, GDP, and urbanization. A robust empirical analysis was conducted on time series observations for the country based on the recent Dynamic ARDL simulation. It was observed that Malaysia's per capita pollution levels significantly reduces based on the corruption perception levels during the sampling period while the economic expansion’s effect on emission levels is positive. Additionally, urbanization, trade levels and energy use all aggravate the emission levels. On the other hand, although FDI poses an insignificant environmental damage in the short run, its environmental sustainability enhancement roles were supported by its long-run negative impacts on carbon emission. Lastly, the EKC was established and as such, essential policy directions were provided for stakeholders in the rapidly emerging Malaysian economy.

The effect of the higher petrol price on unemployment by sectors

2012-02 , Mohd Shahidan Shaari , Wan Sallha Yusoff

2025 , Faiz Masnan , Mohd Juraij Abd Rani , Miguel Angel Esquivias , Nur Salimah Alias , Nanik Kustiningsih , Mohd Shahidan Shaari

This research delves into the dynamics influencing the academic performance of undergraduate students in Malaysian universities, specifically examining the role of self-esteem, sense of purpose, time management, sleep quality, and class attendance. With a calculated sample size of 384 obtained from purposive sampling, the study reveals compelling insights. This study aims to determine how students perform in university and what factors contribute the most to their academic performance. The findings underscore the significant influence of self-esteem, sense of purpose, and class attendance on academic performance. These results illuminate the relationship between psychological and behavioral factors in shaping students' success in the academic sphere. Understanding how these variables relate to academic outcomes provides educators and institutions with valuable information for tailoring support mechanisms and interventions to enhance students' overall educational experience. In the unique context of Malaysian universities, this research contributes to the broader discourse on factors that contribute to or hinder academic performance among undergraduate students.
