(2009). Therefore it is easier to uncover which variable is crucial.”
- The Moderation Effects of Political Instability and Terrorism on Tourism Development (2014, unknown): “Following Saha et al. (2009), we examine the moderation effect of political instability and terrorism to measure whether political instability surrounded by a high level of terrorism can make the situation worse.”
- CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION: WHAT HAS PAST DECADE'S EMPIRICAL RESEARCH TAUGHT US? A SURVEY (2018, unknown): “Later empirical studies also affirm this hypothesis; using data from the heritage foundation to measure economic freedom, it was found that there is a negative association between economic freedom and corruption (Saha et al., 2009).”
