This study attempts to explore the contribution of the informal sector to the output of a developing country. For empirical investigation the study has evaluated the context of Bangladesh for the last 40 years and uses time series data for the period of 1982 -2018. Econometric and model-based...

The paper investigates the effects of imports and foreign capital inflows on economic growth in case of Pakistan over the period of 1990Q1-2008Q4. We have applied ARDL bounds testing approach to examine the long run relationship and investigated the direction of causality by using VECM...

[Abstract]: This paper attempts to identify the factors that affect Bangladesh's exports. The panel data estimation technique and a generalized gravity model have been used to analyze Bangladesh's export trade pattern. A theoretical justification for using the gravity model in the analysis of...

This paper applies the generalized gravity model to analyze the Bangladesh’s trade with its major trading partners using the panel data estimation technique. We have estimated the gravity model of trade (sum of exports and imports), the gravity model of exports and the gravity model of...

[Abstract]: Attempts are made to provide a theoretical justification for using the gravity model in the analysis of bilateral trade and apply the generalized gravity model to analyse the Bangladesh’s trade with its major trading partners using the panel data estimation technique. We have...

This paper investigates Australia’s global trade potential taking data of Australia and its 57 trading partners for the period of 1972-2006. Gravity model approach and panel data estimation techniques have been used. Providing a theoretical justification for using the gravity model the paper...

This article analyses current housing market conditions in Australia; specifically the factors that have caused increased housing prices in recent years and there implications. The article finds that the number of home-owners with a mortgage and the number of renters have increased. For owners...

[Abstract]: This study explores the roles of foreign capital inflows and domestic financial sector development on economic growth in the case of Pakistan. Using annual data series of World Bank and Economic Survey of Pakistan over the period of 1971-2008, ARDL bounds testing approach to...

This paper aims to investigate the links between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth through financial sector’s development (FD) in the case of Bangladesh. Using annual data series of World Bank for the period of 1983-2008, the unrestricted error correction method (UECM)...

This paper attempts to investigate trade potential for Australia using the augmented gravity models and cross section data of 50 countries. OLS has been used as an estimation technique for 2001 and 2005 data. The estimated coefficients from the gravity models are then used to predict Australia's...
