Bangladesh has achieved the status of a 'lower middle-income' country 44 years after emerging as a sovereign state. Along the way, it achieved some successes in improving several development indicators such as life expectancy, primary school enrolment, infant mortality rate, maternal mortality,...

This study investigates the impact of increased carbon emissions on per capita health expenditure exploiting the panel data with Engle – Granger based cointegration test, Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS) method. Data for the South Asian...

The goal of any educational institution is to contribute in academia, research and industry through creation, generation and distribution of knowledge. Educational institutions supply graduates as skilled labor while academia and industry demand those skilled labor. Therefore, the role of both...

This paper estimates the impact of climate change on the fisheries and aquaculture sector of Bangladesh by employing appropriate econometric models. The Household Income and Expenditure Survey 2010 (HIES,2010) data have been used to estimate the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regressions for...

This paper attempts to identify factors that facilitate export decision of a firm. Enterprise survey of WB has been used to capture those factors through Probit model. Our results suggest that firm size, improved organizational structure, owning/sharing a generator and formal training are the...

This paper estimates the impact of monetary policy on exchange rate of Bangladesh using co-integration method. Time series data are used to estimate the impact of monetary policy on exchange rate of Bangladesh. Money supply and exchange rate determination model states that money supply has...

This article aims to portray the impact of agricultural credit on agricultural production in Bangladesh using the Johansen co-integration method. However, the Johansen co-integration test requires the concerned variables to be in the same order of integration. Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF),...

This study presents some quantitative evidence from a number of simulation experiments on the accuracy of the productivity growth estimates derived from growth accounting (GA) and frontier-based methods (namely Data envelopment Analysis-, Corrected ordinary least squares-, and Stochastic...

Over the years, a number of different approaches were developed to measure productivity change, both in the micro and the macro setting. Since each approach comes with its own set of assumptions, it is not uncommon in practice that they produce different, and sometimes quite divergent,...

The validity of data envelopment analysis (DEA) efficiency estimators depends on the robustness of the production frontier to measurement errors, specification errors and the dimension of the input-output space. It has been proven that DEA estimators, within the interval (0, 1], are...
