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.

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.

Abstract

Cloud computing plays a significant role in the world of computers. 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)

Kyalisiima Prisca & Yang Jun

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.

Design and Optimization of Bus Booking System using Dijkstra’s algorithm

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.

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.
