Abstract

­This paper explores the relationship between gross fixed capital formation, financial development, and economic growth in Africa. The study used 39 African countries from 1997 to 2017. The study adopted five financial development indicators. The study employed Augmented Mean Group and Common Correlated Effects Mean Group estimation techniques for the estimations. From the study, Bank Deposit to GDP is statistically significant, it has a negative effect on economic growth, and it shows dual causality, Bank Deposit is inadequate in Africa but significant to economic growth. Broad Money to GDP, Domestic Credit to GDP, and Credit to Private Sector to GDP are all statistically insignificant to growth. They also have negative influence on economic growth. Broad Money shows dual causality with growth while both Domestic Credit, and Credit to Private Sector displays one way causality from economic growth. Gross Domestic Savings to GDP is statistically insignificant and it has a positive bearing on growth, it has one-way causality from growth. Broad Money is very limited in Africa to the extent that, the funds available for domestic transactions are barely enough to have any impact on economic growth. Domestic banks and financial institutions hardly gives credit to private sector and government institutions, due to high risk factor. Gross fixed capital formation has a positive bearing on economic growth. It displays bi-directional causality with economic growth. Financial development does not have a blanket relationship with economic growth, but rather it depends on the type of financial development indicator being used.

Limit Pricing under Complete Information: A Theoretical Analysis of Mobile network Operators

Abstract

­Limit pricing is a very interesting issue in industrial organization. This is a case where firms with market power, when faced with a threat of market entry, charge a very low price that is lower than their marginal cost for their products or services in order to prevent the entry of new potential competitors or prevent their smaller competitors from expanding their business.  This they do to protect their market dominance. After successfully deterring entry, the incumbent firms then revert to charging higher prices. Previous theoretical studies show that this strategy is viable in the presence of information asymmetry. Competition Authorities and other regulatory agencies treat limit pricing as anti-competitive and illegal. This research paper theoretically analyses limit pricing among telecommunications companies by way of linear demand equations within an oligopoly framework involving one dominant incumbent and fringe firms under complete information. The analysis proves that dominant firms can use their market power to engage in limit pricing in the absence of information asymmetry concerning the true operating costs among the incumbents. This finding is of great help to Competition Authorities and other policy makers in ensuring that dominant firms do not abuse their market power. This ensures fair competition among all the market players irrespective of their market share.

Abstract

­The combination of a firm’s long-term debt, specific short-term debt, common equity, preferred equity and retained earnings which are used to finance its overall operations is known as capital structure and it is a vital financial decision as it is directly related to the risk and return of a firm. Inappropriate capital structure can lower the firm’s value as it incurs higher cost of capital while effective capital structure decision can do the opposite. A panel data set of ten years from 2010 to 2019 for the selected textile companies listed in Dhaka stock exchange has been used in this study. ROE and ROA are the dependent variables in the analysis, on the other side short-term debt to total assets and long-term debt to total assets are the proxy variables for debt capital. Age, sales growth is used as the control variables. Descriptive analysis, Correlation analysis, Hausman test and Panel Regression have been conducted to test the hypothesis. This study found that there is significant relationship between debt capital and firm performance. Short- term debt to the total asset is positively related to both profit measure ROE and ROA. In contrast, the other variable long-term debt has a negative association to the both ROE and ROA. The literature on this view also supports these findings as long-term debt costly and increases financial distress for the firms. According to the study result, long-term debt is statistically significant in determining the ROA and ROE.

Abstract

­This study currently examines some economic growth variables that interact to reduce poverty in West, East, South, Central, and North African.  The review uses panel data from 1998 to 2017 based on the unit root, co-integration, fully modified ordinarily least squares (FMOLS), and granger causality to effect estimations. The study examines the association between these variables of economic Growth received and how they affect poverty. The results find economic growth promotes certain aspects of poverty reduction with the size of population and employment has been a significant factor. The granger result shows the uniqueness of the variables with bi-direction running between gross domestic product and poverty, gross capital formation and broad money, population, and broad money, and population and poverty do not Granger cause each other in the long run.  It was in-line with most studies by other researchers that state these main variables has been very significant when it comes to poverty reduction in most developed countries. The study emphasized that, in the contest of Africa, these main variables helps to reduce poverty but at a minimal level.

Problems and Global Challenges of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Iran

Author (s)

Naz Abdulkareem Arif &  Moha Asri Bin Abdullah

Abstract

­The development and prosperity of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are crucial to the development agenda of any economy in the world, be it in developed or developing countries. This is especially so for Muslim countries, most of which fall under low-income countries. Literature is replete with the roles and importance of Small and Medium enterprises in the development of any nation. These include, among others, the creation of employment, source of innovation, export generation, income generation, poverty alleviation, and the source of future medium and large enterprises. There isn’t a unanimous definition of SMEs anywhere in the world, and Muslim countries are not an exception. Thus, there exist various definitions of SMEs in Muslim countries. Small and Medium Enterprises have been defined traditionally based on several indexes: number of employees; amount invested; total assets; sales turnover and production capacity. However, the definition based on the number of employees is common in most of the Muslim nations. The SMEs sectors in Iran play a very vital role in economic development and entrepreneurship growth because the SMEs sector is private. In this paper, we find that the main causes of the problems and issues of the SMEs sector are based on a lack of entrepreneurship talents and training because of the factors hindering innovation. We try to find out the role of government-based training institutes and as well as semi-government institutes in entrepreneurship development in the SMEs sector in Iran.

Estimate Household’s Willingness to Pay for Improved Tap Water Quality in Duhok Province

Author (s)

Naz Abdulkareem Arif

Abstract

­Clean tap water is the general problem facing households in Duhok province due to the poor infrastructure in the tap water supply system. This paper deals with a contingent valuation method (CVM) of improvement in the drinking water quality, based on the household’s perception of the tap water quality and relevant health risk avoidance behavior. It contains different factors to analyze, such as factors that determine the household’s willingness to pay (WTP) for recovering the quality of tap water. As well as individual avoidance expenditure undertaken by the households to prevent health risk from the tap water consumption. A survey has been collected from 300 participants in Duhok province (Duhok Polytechnic University). The results present the household’s satisfaction of payment to recover the quality of tap water. The main results are:  about 58% of the respondents are willing to pay, and 42% are not willing to pay for improving water quality. In addition, the results of the regression showed that two factors affect willingness to pay; both are knowledge about water quality and avoidance behavior.

 Keywords: water quality, willingness to pay (WTP), contingent valuation method (CVM), households and Duhok province.

Abstract

Environmental degradation affects the health status of many people all over the world. Bangladesh is one of the most polluted countries, and every year 96,000 children died before reaching their fifth birthday because of environmental pollution. The present study has attempted to explore the pollution effect on the life expectancy of Bangladesh by analyzing the annual data from 1974 to 2014. The study has relied on the ARDL bounds test for checking the long-run association that can allow the admixture of I(0) and I(1) series (but inapplicable for I(2) series). The study scrutinized the unit root problems by running the widely used Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test. Besides, other essential tests associated with the ARDL, like the normality test, serial correlation test, heteroskedasticity test, model specification test, and parameter stability test were also performed. The study found a significant negative impact of environmental degradation on life expectancy both in the short- and long-run. Therefore, the study suggests the proper implementation of environmental protection laws and regulations.

It is a modern technology that provides a fast access mechanism, expandable, reliable, and provides user specific-facilities such as software services and infrastructure. Through the Internet, the user can access resources wherever they are, so this technology is beneficial in their daily lives. Cloud services provided by the cloud (SAAS, PAAS, IAAS) enable the user to access programs and the platform. Security is the main problem facing the cloud, so people think that using the cloud and its services is not safe, as there is no guarantee of stored information. Distributed computing is a computer division that explores distributed systems, and a distributed system is a system. That exists on computers connected to the network to be communicated through messages passed between each other. Using distributed computing systems has increased due to lower hardware costs and advances in computer network technologies. Distributed computing systems provide the potential for better efficiency and sharing of resources. This article will give a brief overview of cloud history computing, its evolution, advantages, and security aspects, as well as the history of distributed computing, its structure, applications, benefits, and disadvantages.

The impact of Central Bank Independence and Transparency on Inflation in Sub-Saharan Africa

Author (s)

Abstract

This study seeks to examine the impact of central bank independence and transparency on inflation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The role of central banks is to maintain price stability in the economy. Many scholars have independent and transparent writings due to the image of the Central Banks. On the other hand, other scholars have made clear the negative effects of high inflation as the main macroeconomic indicator used in this paper. In practice, some current studies have concluded that central bank independence and transparency lead to macroeconomic performance (low inflation). Empirical use of regression and analysis is performed for 15 sub-Saharan African countries with data for the period 1998–14 using panel fixed effects model. This paper contributes to research by exploring more than central bank independence as used by many scholars, and adds to literature about Central Bank Independence in Sub Saharan Africa. The results of this research study show that central bank independence and transparency (participant term; CBI_Transp) are statistically significant at 95%, so central bank independence and transparency go hand in hand; reducing inflation in sub-Saharan Africa. From the regression output, we conclude that the interactive variable and the single variables have positive coefficients, which is contrary to the main neoclassical theory used in this paper.

Abstract

It is very clear that people spend so much time in a bus station or park due to the fact that some empty buses will be wasting time in a particular station, while commuters will wait for the bus in another station of the same transport company. This is a web-based application that will manage the scheduling of buses in all bus terminals of a transport company. With this software, an administrator can manage bus station or terminals departure time, routes, vehicle type and driver including the cashier(s) for the terminals. Passengers will also be able to view schedules and make plans for a trip. This project was borne out of the need to enable bus transport companies to manage their bus schedules to avoid scarcity of buses in some terminals where they are needed whereas at other bus stations of the same transport company there are empty buses. Different scheduling algorithms can be adopted for bus scheduling system but Dijkstra algorithm was chosen to enable us to determine the shortest route to a bus station where there is bus scarcity. This aim is achieved through the use of object-oriented methodology. PHP and JavaScript are the programming languages harnessed while HTML and CSS are used for the user interface.

 Keywords: Dijkstra’s algorithm, web-based, scheduling of buses, station.

Changing South Sudan Currency:

A Best policy or Blunder?

First thing Fist, Trust and Confidence, Destructive Announcement and Institutional Capability

Author (s)

Alier Maker Ghai Duk

Abstract

This article focus mainly on alternative policy mechanism as opposed to the government plan to change national currency as it lack the solutions to core economic problems facing South Sudan economy today. For example, hyperinflation, unemployment, poor investment climate, low aggregate GDP and GDP per capita, corruption and economic sabotage. The way out of these economic phenomenon has been elaborated beyond mere statement in the article, and these includes investment in both private and public sector, agricultural productivity to create food surplus in the country as well as fixing the exchange rate in order to reduce spread between the black market rate and official rate. The important of fixing exchange rate as a starting point is to enable necessary conditions to make South Sudan attractive for investment in order to increase productivity and purchasing power of local currency, restore orderly market mechanism, improve livelihoods, sustained rapid economic recovery efforts and mitigate uncertainty and marker risks. The paper has also express concerns over institutional weakness to handle this costly project in terms of cost of minting and printing of new currency to invalidation and monitoring of counterfeit money during the process. Additionally, the article recommends that South Sudan should closed potential channels through which money leave the country, by reviewing the employment percentages of foreign based nongovernmental organizations and industries, their mode of payment and make sure that all payments in the country are made in local currency. These also include government payments to foreign nationals and companies. Furthermore, government must demonstrate strong position against corruption as South Sudan rank worse at 179 out of 180 most corrupt countries in the world and 180 out of 190 countries where doing business is not easy. This is embarrassing and contradiction to the idea of making South Sudan attractive for the investment. The paper view currency change plan as dangerous economic blunder than a solution.

Sibele Recco Rosso Comim

Abstract

This research aims to empirically investigate the environmental performance of Chinese multinationals using various proxies of internationalization. This research among the first to empirically test the impact of multiple proxies of internationalization in a single manuscript. This research has also employed the largest panel data-set of 15362 firm-year observations to test the association empirically. The findings of the research reveal that the widely used proxy of internationalization (Intensity_1, which is total exports to total revenue) does not find significant support. On the other hand, Intensity_2 (foreign assets to total assets), Breadth_1, and Breadth_2 (measured as the number of foreign subsidiaries) find significant support. These findings are robust when we employed the GMM regression model.

Abstract

In today’s era everybody is trying to be conscious about health. Although, due to workload and busy schedule, one gives attention to the health when any major symptoms occur. But Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a disease which doesn’t shows symptoms it is hard to predict, detect and prevent such a disease and this can lead to permanently health damage, but some machine learning algorithms can come handy in this aspect for their efficient prediction and analysis. By using data of CKD, patients with 25 attributes and 400 records we are going to use various machine learning techniques like Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree etc. The purposes of our work is to virtuously predicting Chronic Kidney disease and have a comparative analysis among some of the popular machine learning based approaches based on some performance metrics. In our work, it is found that the Random Forest algorithm outperforming other machine learning based approaches we used in the experiment.

Abstract

The primary education sector is one of the most prosperous sectors in Bangladesh and most of the teachers in this field are women. This study looked specifically at the state of the working life balance of women in the field of teaching and its impact on their perceived performance. Data have been collected among the 130 women educators currently working in various governments and at the kinder school in Bangladesh. A structured questionnaire was used to collect samples from participants. Phase data is summarized using frequency distribution, bivariate analysis performed on chi-square test and multiple liner retrieval is used to identify potential variations associated with perceived performance. The average age was 40-50 y (about 50%) followed by 38.5% it was 30-40 years. 31.5% had more than 2 dependencies. Of them, 57.17% were satisfied with the actual work, 24.87% were neutral and 10% disagreed with their performance. The results of the various organizations showed that age (p-value = 0.002), dependency number (p-value = 0.002), marital status (p-value = 0.006), institutional types (p-value = 0.004) were significantly different depending on their performance. However, the variance was not found in terms of working age. Research has shown that most professionals are satisfied with their performance, however, one in ten thinks they are not performing satisfactorily. Evidence shows that with the reduction of workload per hour, work structures from the organization can speed up the performance of professionals.

Abstract

Using the annual data from 1983 to 2016, the study attempted to explore the role of globalization and financial development on life expectancy in South Asian countries, at the presence of economic growth and pollution. The study employed the panel quantile regression (median) technique that could provide reliable results in the presence of heteroskedasticity and cross-section dependence in residuals, while pooled OLS, fixed effect and random effect models were not. Estimated results confirm that the model is correctly specified, and there is no asymmetry in quantiles. This study has found a significant positive impact for economic growth, globalization, and financial development, and a significant negative impact for environmental pollution on life expectancy in the study countries. So, policymakers have to promote globalization and financial development to improve the population’s health status, besides controlling environmental pollution.

Abstract

With the development of the big data age, deep learning developed to become having a more complex network structure and more powerful feature learning and feature expression abilities than traditional machine learning methods. The model trained by the deep learning algorithm has made remarkable achievements in many large-scale identification tasks in the field of computer vision since its introduction. This paper first introduces the deep learning, and then the latest model that has been used for image classification by deep learning are reviewed.  Finally, all used deep learning models in the literature have been compared to each other in terms of accuracy for the two most challenging datasets CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100.

Impacts of Inflation and Exchange Rate on Foreign Direct Investment in Bangladesh

Author (s)

Muhammad Mahmud Mostafa

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the impacts inflation and exchange rate on foreign direct investment (FDI) in Bangladesh. To meet the purpose of the study, time series data on dependent and independent variables are collected from various secondary sources covering the period 1980 to 2017. For estimation purpose the study employs different econometric techniques such as Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, Johansen Co-integration Test, and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Apart from these, various diagnostic tests have been applied to evaluate the goodness-of-fit of the model. Results of the study reveal that there exists a long-run relationship between dependent and independent variables. Inflation rate is found to have a significant negative impact on FDI in the long-run but it is insignificant in the short-run. The results also show that exchange rate has a significant positive relationship with FDI both in the long-run and short-run. That is, depreciation of Bangladeshi taka against US dollar induces FDI flows in Bangladesh. Therefore, in order to increase the flow of FDI in Bangladesh, it is essential to take necessary steps to curb high inflation and to prevent the devaluation of oreign currencies against Bangladeshi taka.

 Keywords: FDI, Inflation Rate, Exchange Rate, Co-integration, ADF, VECM.

Abstract

Abortion is currently a widely discussed topic. Not only in urban but also in rural areas women often have abortions. Abortion has a profound effect not only on a women’s body but also on her mind. A woman is forced to have an abortion due to compulsions. In Bangladesh, Abortion is prohibited in both public and religious spheres. Which can only be done to save the mother’s life. But even then, women are secretly having abortions in various unsafe ways. Moreover, in the social system of patriarchal Bangladesh, women are always subordinate to men. She has to suffer physical, mental and social pain. But even then, she is killing her tangled treasure with her own hands. Because under the social structure, women are just silent spectators. To look at the social-cultural issues of abortion, researchers talk to people in this research area and try to find out the reasons behind it by listening to their experiences. As the research area is located in a rural area, researchers try to see the socio-cultural context of abortion and find a wide influence of women’s subordination, power structure and patriarchal mentality. Although abortion has a profound effect on a woman’s body. She is trapped in a structure and decides to have an abortion.

Effects of Firm Specific Factors on Profitability of Non Bank Financial Institutions in Bangladesh:   Evidenced from Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE)

Abstract

As the arena of the NBFIs is widening day by day in Bangladesh, it has attracted many investors of the country for which the profitability analysis of these NBFIs is getting popularity. This paper intends to analyze the firm-specific profitability indicators of the NBFIs in Bangladesh. To conduct this study, panel data of the nineteen NBFIs have been collected for the last 10 years (from 2007 to 2017). The main objectives of this paper to identify the fundamental determinants and to assess their contribution to the NBFIs’ profitability. Three measures of profitability- ROA, ROE and NIM, have been considered as the dependent variables in this paper. The fixed effect model was used in Model I- ROA and Model II- ROE. But the appropriate model for the Model III- NIM is undecided as the panel data for this model did not meet the asymptotic assumptions. To address this problem, Panel Corrected Standard Error (PCSE) Regression Method has been used in this study. The paper has been concluded by saying that ROE and NIM of the NBFIs are not influenced by their deposits and size which indicates that the ROE and NIM of the NBFIs are not sensitive to the sources from the NBFIs collect their funds. Non bank financial Institution should focus on the generation of capital from market using financial instruments with more diversified portfolios. Returns in these institutions can be backed by internally generated capital fund. However, sustainable growth in non bank institution needs to raise a minimum portion of deposit from the market with deliberate earnings from more systematic and dynamic asset class available in the market. Utilization of assets and earning s of mortgage loan and other financial assets should get more attention in Bangladeshi non bank financial institutions.

Shaikh Mostak Ahammad &  Md. Azmir Sharif

Abstract

This study investigates the relationships of total trade and total value between the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) in Bangladesh. To get the results, various unit root tests, the Granger causality test, and the Johansen cointegration test are employed. Daily data from January 2015 to May 2017 is used to check the relationship. The empirical results of unit root tests (Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, Phillips-Perron (PP) test, Kwiatkowski, Phillips, Schmidt, and Shin (KPSS) Test, and Elliott–Rothenberg–Stock (ERS) test) evidenced that total trade and the total value of DSE and CSE are stationary at their first differences. The Granger causality test found that total trade and the total value of DSE cause total trade and the total value of CSE and also total trade and the total value of CSE causes total trade and the total value of DSE meaning that there is bidirectional causality exists between the selected variables. The Johansen cointegration test showed that there is no cointegrating relationship among the variables indicating that there is no long-run relationship among total trade and total value between DSE and CSE.

 Keywords: Dhaka Stock Exchange, Chittagong Stock Exchange, Total trade, Total value, Granger Causality test, Johansen Cointegration test.

Comparative Analysis of Economic Performance of SAARC Countries Based on the Estimated Cobb-Douglas Production Function

Author (s)

Deeti Saha

Abstract

This study intends to compare the economic performance and examine the relationship between real GDP (dependence variable) and total labor force and gross fixed capital formation (independent variables) in the case of SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation) countries based on the Cobb Douglas production function. To conduct the study, time series data were used from 1980-2017 in four countries and 1990-2017 in four other countries. The ordinary least square method (OLS) was used to measure the linear regression model. The Breusch-Pagan-Godfrey and Breusch-Godfrey Serial Correlation LM Test tests were used to test for heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. The adjusted R-Squared shows that 96.81%, 99.98%, 99.74%, 99.85%, 99.36%, 97.84%, 99.65%, and 99.89% of the total variation in the dependent variable (GDP) in the case of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Nepal, and Pakistan respectively are explained by the fitted regression equation. That means the economies of SAARC countries are well defined by the Cobb-Douglas production function. The economies of Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal show increasing returns to scale. The economies of Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, and Pakistan show decreasing returns to scale. It is also noteworthy that the economies of the four countries show increasing returns to scale; these countries also have better marginal productivity of labor and marginal productivity of capital performance. Per capita GDP, GDP growth rate, labor and capital, the marginal productivity of labor and marginal productivity of capital, the elasticity of labor and capital have been highlighted to compare the economic performance of SAARC countries. The quality of the labor force is essential for sustainable capital investment.

Does Brexit Have an Impact on EAC-EU Commodity Trade?

Author (s)

Caroline Ntara

Abstract

The East African Community (EAC) and European Union (EU), have an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) initiated in October 2014.  The EAC agreed to negotiate on the EPA in order to participate beneficially in the global economy, decrease poverty and support their economic development. By fast-tracking the already existing economic integration, the EAC wanted to eliminate barriers to trade, form bigger markets and stimulate productivity and investment expansions.  This paper predicts the trade in commodities between the EAC and EU for 10 years using import and export data from 2009-2016. Regression analysis is used to forecast the level of imports and exports. The study uses a linear model Ft=a+bt+ ε to forecast the level of imports and exports. Two linear models one for imports (Ft=2,791,351.50+28,196t) and another for exports (Ft=4,177,572.071 +62,500.3t) were formulated. The study concludes that there is no significant difference caused by BREXIT on EAC-EU commodity trade in 10 years.

The Effect of Non-performing Loans on Performance and Profitability: A Comparative Analysis from Banking Sector of Bangladesh

Author (s)

Sanjida Afrin

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to assess the intensity of ‘Non-performing Loan’ and its adverse impact on the performance and profitability of the banking sector of Bangladesh. A comparative scenario of state-owned commercial banks and private commercial banks have also been presented in this study. The foregoing discussion of NPL from the perspective of Bangladesh reveals that the amount of defaulted loans have reached an alarming position which degrades the banking industry and makes the economy stagnant. The comparative analysis showed that SOCBs have a higher amount of total NPL, gross NPL ratio and net NPL ratio than that of PCBs. Share in industry total assets, share in deposit and also change in the contribution of industry assets of SOCBs are very lower in comparison to PCBs. Capital adequacy, capital to risk-weighted assets, ROA, ROE and maintained provision of SOCBs are very poor while PCBs have satisfactory performance. Active implementation of policies, proper and adequate surveillance of SOCBs, qualified and neutral board members and non-executives, improved lending process, enforcement of punishable measures and most importantly strong ethical attitude are some of the possible and effective recommendations that should be implemented to eradicate the root of NPL from this emerging economy.

Measuring Managerial Skills of Closed-End Mutual Funds in Bangladesh and Its Linkage to the Management Fee

Author (s)

Meher Nigar Mila

Abstract

This report mainly focuses on identifying the managerial skills of fund managers, asset management companies in managing closed-end mutual funds of Bangladesh those are floated during 2013 to 2019 and which allowed to review the management fee system in the mutual fund industry. The analysis found that six fund managers have positive alphas or can produce an abnormal return, which is significant, six other fund managers can be called neither significant nor worst and seven other fund managers have negative alphas or cannot earn excess return due to the lack of managerial skills which are not significant statistically. The highest value in R-square refers that the movement of these mutual funds can be explained not only by the market index but also by the other three factors. It can be concluded that some fund managers have managerial skills, and some don’t have skills, but the current management fee structure system of Bangladesh is counterproductive. This report finds that the seven fund managers with negative alpha, get the same or higher management fees just like the fund managers of positive alpha.

Abstract

In the current study entitling “An Empirical Scrutiny of Environmental Accounting Reporting (EAR) and Vision 2021: A way of Environmental Protection”, I critically examine the practices of environmental accounting in listed companies in Bangladesh and how it can be linked with the near goal of Bangladesh “Vision 2021” which is the election manifesto of current government. Vision 2021 has eight goals and our environmental issues are given priority in that case. As EAR is voluntary reporting, stakeholder theory and legitimacy theory can be related. Content analysis is used as methodology and taking 52 listed companies of Dhaka Stock Exchange randomly from 10 main industries and world bank report in order to know prevailing environmental situation in Bangladesh. The study has found there is a severe environmental degradation over years and listed companies are not aware of EAR in Bangladesh. Lastly, the paper suggests some recommendation to focus on EAR in order to achieve Vision 2021.

Review of EEG feature selection by neural networks

Author (s)

Ildar Rakhmatulin

Abstract

The basis of the work of electroencephalography (EEG) is the registration of electrical impulses from the brain using a special sensor or electrode. This method is used to treat and diagnose various diseases. In the past few years, due to the development of neural network technologies, the interest of researchers in EEG has noticeably increased. Neural networks for training the model require obtaining data with minimal noise distortion. In the processing of EEG signals to eliminate noise (artifacts), signal filtering and various methods for extracting signs are used. The presented manuscript provides a detailed analysis of modern methods for extracting the signs of an EEG signal used in studies of the last decade. The information presented in this paper will allow researchers to understand how to more carefully process the data of EEG signals before using neural networks to classify the signal. Due to the absence of any standards in the method of extracting EEG signs, the most important moment of this manuscript is a detailed description of the necessary steps for recognizing artifacts, which will allow researchers to maximize the potential of neural networks in the tasks of classifying EEG signal.

Skill Resources Similarity and Post-acquisition Performance of the Acquiring Firms: Role of the Acquiring firms Size

Author (s)

Abebe Shawul Arsedi  & Yu Li

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects of the similarity in the skill resources of the merging firms on the post-acquisition performance of the acquiring firms. The study investigates the post-acquisition performance of 313 samples of merger and acquisition transactions completed from 2003 to 2015 by American firms operating in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. The study find out that the similarity between the merging firms in the degree of emphasis they give to the marketing activities can lead to a positive post-acquisition performance for the acquiring firms. On the contrary, the similarity between the merging firms in the degree of emphasis given to R&D activities is found to negatively affect the post-acquisition performance of the acquiring firms. In addition, the study find out that the acquirers size positively moderates the relationship between the similarity in the degree of emphasis given to marketing activities by the merging firms and the post-acquisition performance of the acquiring firms. It indicates that larger acquirers have extra resources which they can invest to facilitate the integration and the learning process for the marketing teams of the merging firms to share ideas and knowledge which may positively influence the post-acquisition performance of the acquiring firms.

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of intellectual capital reporting in the annual reports of Pharmaceuticals company listed at Dhaka Stock Exchange on their performance. This paper uses sample of 31 pharmaceuticals company for the period 2016-2017. To measure the extent of IC disclosure on the annual report a disclosure index (ICDSI) is developed. Information related to firm performance is obtained from annual report. Correlation and regression analysis have been used for data analysis. This paper found positive relation of IC disclosure with two performance measure (ROE and ROA) but negative relation with EPS. However, relationship is not significant. The impact of control variables on firm performance is also mixed and narrow. The reason for limited association among the variables can be lower amount of disclosure, unrelated concept of firm performance and ICDSI. The mean disclosure is only 23%. Overall findings of the paper suggest company disclose human capital information mostly. Further study may include longitudinal study with more sample size and control variable. This study will help academics who want to work in IC literature. Manager of Pharmaceutical will get to know which IC information reporting will give them organizational benefit. Regulator can get useful insights from this paper to formulate and implement IC related guideline. This paper is one the very first paper in Bangladesh to investigate IC disclosures impact on firm performance through developing ICDSI index.
