Carbon dioxide (CO<SUB align="right"><SMALL>2</SMALL></SUB>) emissions, industrial output growth, population growth and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in Bangladesh for 1972-2008 are found non-stationary in terms of both Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Kwiatkowski, Phillips, Schmidt and Shin (KPSS) tests with different...</small></sub>

Factoring is a global industry with a vast turnover. It offers various advantages like consistent cash flow, lower administration costs, reduced credit risks and more time for core activities. Both the domestic and international factoring are getting popularity at an impressive rate in all parts...

The crops that we grow for food need specific climatic conditions to show better performance in view of economic yield. A changing climate could have both beneficial and harmful effects on crops. Keeping the above view in mind, this study is undertaken to investigate the impacts of climate...

This paper considers the problem of selecting the optimal production run for a process with random linear drifts. A cost function per unit of finished product is derived. A search algorithm as well as a graphical method are suggested to find the optimal production run. Numerical examples are...

This paper studies the dynamics of the Taka-U.S.Dollar exchange rate for Bangladesh by augmenting the Quantity Theory of Money. The standard cointegration methodology (Engle and Granger, 1987) is employed in addition to the ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) procedure. The ADF and KPSS tests...

This paper re-examines the role of equity and corporate bond financing in spurring US economic growth. Annual data from 1960 through 2008 are utilised. The variables in levels are non-stationary with different orders of integration. Thus, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) procedure is...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamics of crude oil prices of OPEC and non-OPEC countries using threshold cointegration. To capture the long run asymmetric price transmission mechanism, we develop an error correction model within a threshold cointegration and CGARCH errors...
