This research re-examines the relations between production, money and income and arrives at a need for reform, through a contemporary money theory, with the same foundations that endow the system of the numerical entity that measures the economy. The analysis undertaken began from the “Econophysics” observation that wealth is unequally distributed among agents in an economic system. The literature has consolidated the concept of ‘systemic entropy’ as the degree of endogenous ‘disorder’ that occurs with the succession of interactions/transactions among its elements, leading to a stabilization in equilibrium that is no longer modifiable by spontaneous perturbations, even though there is clear evidence of profound inequality in individual wealth. The contribution offered here is an in-depth investigation into the causes that have led and continue to lead to the genesis and exacerbation of these socio-economic differences, which also convey an exclusion of the less wealthy sectors of the population from the most significant transactions. This ordains the impossibility, at the current state of the art, of achieving a neg-entropic practice, which is fundamental to the evolution of organisms. The point of arrival is in the negation of the monetary structure as currently perceived and organized.

In this project work, from the top readymade garments or apparel exporter countries, three countries like China, Vietnam and India are taken with Bangladesh for comparison. For the work, SWOT analysis method is used to find Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats for the apparel industry of each country. Information and data are collected from reliable sources like the statistics and rankings of the World Bank, WTO, WLO, different journals which are published internationally. The aim of this study is to determine the genuine present scenario of Bangladeshi apparel industry compared to the competitor countries and to study how we are improving compared to them. This work indicates the specific points where we have to improve immediately and the points that we have to take really good care of. Hence as a result after conducting the SWOT analysis the obtained information and all the data, tables and graphs illustrate that the scenario of the Bangladeshi apparel sector is in satisfactory position though the alarming thing is that the competitor countries are putting more effort to improve their condition and they are getting it rapidly. On the other hand, our effort is less and we are not improving significantly except our recent compliance, GDP and green factory initiatives. In this work we find out a solution by analyzing which points are needed to work on for sustaining as a tough competitor in the apparel exporter market share for a longer period and to make maximum export earnings.

With the economic slowdown in developed countries and the rise of emerging economies, reverse innovation from developing countries has had a profound impact on the global changes of multinational companies. As a global innovation diffusion model, it plays a vital role in the late stage of company innovation catch-up. Reverse innovation is about to become an important means to international competition, so exploring how to effectively carry out and implement reverse innovation is of great guiding value to the management practice of multinational companies. First of all, this article reviews the relevant literature on reverse innovation and introduces the research status of this topic. Based on this, through a vertical case study of three representative companies in China's high-tech industry (Huawei, Galanz and Mindray), the article explores the innovation and development process of their products from three stages of imitation innovation, independent innovation and leading technology, and summarizes the three companies in reverse innovation success path. Finally, according to the successful experience of the case, the article puts forward suggestions to promote the development of high-tech enterprises from three aspects of expanding emerging markets, improving independent innovation ability and actively using policy resources, providing reference and inspiration for enterprises to improve innovation ability and accelerate internationalization process.

In this paper we will try to identify and modeling the phenomenon of dependence of short and long term exchange rate volatility through a well-founded approach on the long memory process. The reform of the interbank market is part of the economic recovery program launched by the authorities in 1988. The reorganization of the money market which served to supplement the liquidity needs of banks after exhaustion of refinancing possibilities "counter rediscount ", has undergone significant changes since its reorganization from 1989 to date, in particular, with new players. This note identifies its organization and prospects, as well as the new methods of intervention by the Bank of Algeria. Besides the interbank market, a market for negotiable debt securities will be set up and will thus form a new money market, in the broad sense., the market for negotiable debt securities presents itself as a hinge between the short and long term capital markets where a range of short and medium term securities are offered to agents with financing capacity, such as treasury bills, cash and certificates of deposit. Our empirical study concerns a sample covering average prices GBP, USD and EUR during the overall period of market functioning Algerian interbank exchange rates (March 2008- March 2018). the results obtained testify the presence of a certain phenomenon of long-term persistence in the volatility of exchange rate. FIGARCH-type processes seem to surround this phenomenon.

The article is dedicated to novelties in regulation of entrepreneurship in the Russian Federation, regulation of rights of individuals residing in the Russian Federation and a number of other states: Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Belarus, to carry out professional activities and receive incomes in the self-employed status in conditions of application of the special tax regime Tax on Professional Activities. The experiment of introducing self-employed persons started on January 1, 2019. It was conducted initially in four subjects of the Russian Federation, and then it was extended to 23 regions. Starting from July 1, 2020, it will be applied throughout the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation. The number of self-employed persons is increasing with each passing month of the experiment. In our opinion, the emergence of a new subject in addition to pre-existing legal forms of entrepreneurship (private entrepreneurs, public and non-public joint stock companies, limited liability companies, etc.) allows individuals, including citizens of a number of states, as we see, not only to raise additional income but also use their professional skills and abilities. Activities of self-employed persons cover a significant number of professions, and specialties, except for only some of them mentioned in the article. The loyal tax regime for self-employed persons will allow them to make a decision based on their will either to be employed and dependent on position, and sometimes on employer’s mood or to fulfill themselves, perhaps, in danger of adequate revenue loss but with beliefs in own abilities and skills. Settling down to a course of this type of entrepreneurial activity, the market environment should be taken into account and economical segments where a service or goods produced by a self-employed person will be sold should be analyzed.

Fisheries cooperatives play an important role in Mexico, given that they are capable of generating employment, supplying food, stimulating local commerce, and promoting democracy and social integration in the communities where they operate. Fisheries production cooperatives form part of a sector called the social economy. Nevertheless, like all organizations, they face problems in terms of management, worker relations, rule implementation, and continuance over time. The aim of this study is to analyze and identify the degree of influence that exists between the informal constraints of fisheries production cooperatives (specifically in the form of institutional routines and incentives) and compliance with their doctrinal principles. This study uses a non-experimental quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational-explanatory approach. The research methods consisted of the construction of associated indices, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. Three hypotheses were proposed. With regard to H1, the results showed that informal constraints in the form of routines are moderately correlated with the level of compliance with the formal rules. Regarding the results for H2, it was confirmed that informal constraints in the form of incentives are very weakly correlated with the level of compliance with the formal rules. And with regard to H3, based on a joint analysis of the variables, only routines significantly influenced compliance with these doctrinal principles. Based on the above, it was concluded that routines and not incentives are the factors that exert the greatest influence on compliance with the doctrinal principles of cooperatives.

Nigeria as a secular state is dominated by Christianity and Islam hence the name Islamic Banking raises curiosity. This study is purely a theoretically based discussion on Islamic accounting, banking and finance in Nigeria. Nigeria is generally recognized and widely referred to as the ‘giant of Africa’. Again, she is being recognized and looked upon to be the hub of economic development of the whole of Africa. To maintain this great name, Nigeria has to improve her economy in all ramifications, hence, the issue of Islamic accounting, banking and finance among scholars provided evidence of economic benefits and development in Nigeria and among countries that have Islamic financial institutions (IFIs). The primary characteristics of Islamic Banking are; prohibition of interest, low consumer lending, sharing of risks, sharing of profit or loss and high real sector investing, which seem to be in divergence with the conventional banking concept and practice. The Study adopted a literary review of Islamic and Christian literature on economic matters in relation to their faith/ belief system. The principal information apart from commentaries of scholars are derived from the Holy Bible and the Quran. The concept can also refer to the investments that are permissible under Shariah. This study recommends that both the government and promoters of Islamic accounting, banking and finance should make sincere effort through collaboration that will bring about a more detailed guideline for full operationalization of Islamic accounting, banking and finance in Nigeria.

This study is designed to investigate the determinants of tax compliance in a case of category “C” business profit taxpayers in Nekemte town. To achieve the designed objectives the study employed a quantitative approach. Necessary data for the study were gathered via questionnaire and reviewing necessary documents. To do this the researcher took out 346 samples from the total 2580 population size of category “c” taxpayers and analyzed the returned 240 questions. The sample size of the study was determined by using simple random sampling technique. Responses of respondents were presented by using the data presentation tools and analyzed via STATA 10 software application and descriptive analytical methods using tables and charts. The study found that, family size and length of tax payment period has a significant negative influence on tax compliance. On the other hand, tax knowledge and awareness and tax penalty and fines has a significant positive influence over the level of tax compliance. The assessed amount of tax, probability of auditing and attitudes towards equity and fairness are insignificant factors in determining the compliance behavior of taxpayer. Finally the researcher recommended that different job opportunities and incentives should be provided by the authorized body to increase earning of large size family members. ERCA should be follow up taxpayers and control their activities to easily prevent evasion by taxpayers; and sufficient and adequate training, awareness creation and education should be offered to taxpayers to enhance their knowledge regarding to tax. Besides ERCA should take measures and penalties on those taxpayers who are not willing to pay their tax liability within a specified time period for the purpose of generating more revenues.

With the rapid development of the Chinese construction industry, increasing support from the government, and China’s internationalization, Chinese construction firms have gained great opportunities in venturing abroad. Though Chinese construction firms played an important role in the international market, Chinese contractors’ share of the international market is still smaller in comparison with their competitors. As an important participant in the international market, Chinese construction firms are confronted with the tasks of keeping themselves competitive. The paper stated the development stages of Chinese construction firms, analyzed the current situation and challenges of Chinese construction firms in the international construction market. Drawing on the resource-based view and industry organization approach, this research builds a conceptual model to investigate the relationship among core capability, competitive strategy and market entry mode strategy within Chinese construction firms, and focuses on strategic analysis in affecting Chinese construction firms’ international performance. The conceptual model presented herein was a generic framework that allowed industry practitioners and academic researchers to understand, sustain and extend the international competitiveness of Chinese construction firms. To help construction firms maintain and improve their competitiveness, the conceptual model implied that Chinese construction firms’ international competitiveness depends upon the identification of appropriate strategy and industry structure as well as developing and creating core capability in order to exploit opportunities and neutralize the threats presented by competition.

To help construction firms maintain and improve their competitiveness, the conceptual model implied that Chinese construction firms’ international competitiveness depends upon the identification of appropriate strategy and industry structure as well as developing and creating core capability in order to exploit opportunities and neutralize the threats presented by competition.","PeriodicalId":258703,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Sciences","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126429599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the development and application of Internet technology, investors usually use Internet search engine to investigate the corporation and related information before making investment decision. As a result, Internet search engine has become an indicator of investors’ attention. This paper uses FinTech Baidu index derived from Baidu public platform to measure investors' attention, as well as FinTech index from Shenzhen stock exchange, whose index code is 399699. SZ. The index data covers a date range from June 9, 2017 to June 30, 2019. Empirically, this paper discusses the impact of online attention on the stock returns of financial science and technology sector. A vector auto-regressive (VAR) model is built to reveal the correlation between Fintech investor attention and its sector returns. Furthermore, the granger causality, impulse response and variance decomposition are analyzed. Granger causality test result indicates that FinTech investor attention is the granger cause of the stock returns of Fintech sector, and conversely the stock returns of Fintech sector are not the cause of FinTech investor attention. That is, FinTech online attention has a certain impact on the stock returns of Fintech sector. Impulse response indicates that the impact of FinTech online attention is positive, but the effect lasts in a short term. The conclusions play an important role for investors to understand the hotspot attention on FinTech which is a new emerging market investment opportunity, and provide a general knowledge about the relation between Fintech attention and market returns.
