| Determinants of Agricultural Productivity: Empirical Evidence from Pakistan’s Economy | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | This article examines the determinants of the total productivity of the agriculture sector which enhances the total agricultural productivity in Pakistan and analyzes the relations among variables used for the analysis from 1990 - 2017. The application of the auto regressive distributed lag technique ARDL was used to approximate various determinants. The area under cultivation, fertilizer consumption, agriculture credit, and rainfall show a positive effect on agriculture productivity, whereas agriculture employment and pesticide consumption show a positive but statistically insignificant effect on agricultural productivity in the long run. While in the short-run all determinants have a positive and significant effect on total agriculture productivity convergence towards equilibriu ...Read More - Download PDF - View Fulltext |  |

| Does Herding Exist? Evidence from Pakistan’s Stock Exchange | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | Herding transpires when an investor imitates the decision of other stockholders or shadow market consensus (Rizzi, 2008). The Chartered Financial Analyst Institute affirms “Herding Behavior Bias” as the principal presumption influencing the investor’s decision. (Kunte, S.2015). Herding behavior contradicts the validity of an Efficient Market Hypothesis (Famma and Franch, 1970). The investigation of herd behavior in the Pakistan stock market is indispensable as the inconsistent behavior of stockholders stems from the inefficient assets pricing and resource misallocation. The study’s result affirms the existence of herd behavior in the stock exchange of Pakistan and contradicts rational assets pricing model and stock price efficiency theory. ...Read More - Download PDF - View Fulltext |  |

| The Analysis of Income Inequality and Economic Growth Relationship: Evidence from Pakistan’s Data | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | This research gives a brief overview of Pakistan’s economic growth and income inequality, and empirically assesses the relationship between these two variables of the country over the period of 1990 – 2015. In the empirical part, our study employs the augmented ADF test and simple regression analysis. ADF test results depict that both variables of the model are stationary at the level and exhibit no unit root at the level. Further, in regression results, the coefficient estimates are significant and reveal an inverted U linkage between economic growth of the country and distribution of income. The income level of the country alone explains a significant part of the income inequality. Instead, the lagged dependent variable coefficient is significant and partly explains variatio ...Read More - Download PDF - View Fulltext |  |

| Climate Change and Food Security in Pakistan: A Time Series Analysis | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | Climate change has a severe impact on the accessibility of various resources on earth. The present study determines the impact of climate change on food availability for 27 years from 1990-2016. An ARDL model is used in order to find out the long-run and short-run relationships. The result shows that average temperature shows a negative relationship with food security, as the temperature is increasing the food security is decreasing Food security has a positive relation with agriculture credit since as the agriculture credit increases it will increase the production of agriculture sector which in result increase the supply of food and increase the food security in the country. Fertilizer consumption also has a positive effect on food availability, which is obvious as more and more ...Read More - Download PDF - View Fulltext |  |
