Datasets for Analysing The Recapitalization Paradox in Ghana: Lessons on Agricultural Credit from an Emerging Market

This dataset contains monthly time series data from January 2015 to December 2022, compiled to analyze the relationship between bank recapitalization, sectoral credit disbursement, and macroeconomic conditions in Ghana.

The data covers:

Sectoral Finance: Credit allocation to key economic sectors, notably agriculture.

Bank-Specific Indicators: Metrics such as non-performing loans, capital adequacy ratio, and return on equity for the Ghanaian banking sector.

Macroeconomic Variables: Including GDP, inflation, monetary policy rate, and money supply.

Data were compiled from secondary sources including the Bank of Ghana Statistical Bulletins, IMF International Financial Statistics, and World Bank World Development Indicators. All variables have been processed, logged, and differenced where appropriate to meet the econometric requirements for time series analysis, including ARDL, ECM, and VECM models.

This dataset supports the replication of econometric analyses on bank behavior and credit allocation in emerging markets. Users are encouraged to cite this dataset when reusing the data.
