This study examines simultaneous effects between remittance-inflow and education in recipient countries. We employ a three-stage least squares (3SLS) method and find that education and remittance have positive influences on each other. We also find that tertiary education has a higher impact on remittance than secondary education, and remittance has a higher influence on secondary education in recipient countries.

International student migrants constitute the major population of world's leading universities and India is the second largest source of international students. Thus studying the psychological wellbeing of student migrants is imperative. This study analyses the effect of acculturative stress and perceived discrimination on student migrant's life satisfaction. Students who have migrated from other parts of India to Chennai (N = 132), and from India to other countries (N = 153) are the sample. The results suggest that acculturative stress and perceived discrimination individually have significant negative effect on life satisfaction of student migrants. The results of the multiple regression suggested that acculturative stress is so predominant that it wipes off any impact of perceived discrimination. This study makes out a strong case to address acculturative stress as it can negatively impact life satisfaction and prevent migration of students. Practical implications to parents and educators are discussed.

The use of innovative techniques in teaching and learning has gained ground in Malaysian higher education institutions. Educators use a variety of modern methods to enhance the delivery of the contents of academic subjects, including economics. Among the various approaches, educators use movies to elucidate economic concepts and relate them to real-world phenomenon. Using questionnaire survey, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of using western movies in explaining economic concepts to first semester undergraduate students who took introductory economic courses at the Faculty of Business and Management at UiTM Sarawak. Our results show positive responses on reaction levels and perceived learning outcomes by students with the average mean scores of 7.48. However, the results reveal that there was no association between students' assessment marks and perceived individual achievement. Several recommendations are advanced on using digital learning in the economics education.

Smartphones are excellent connection tools that can join family members, continents apart, over a chat or birthday, but can hinder the communication between people in the same room. The different reactions to smartphones can be due to personal, cultural, economic or a combination of multiple factors with variable impacts. Several studies analysed the effects of smartphones on mental health as well as well-being. The limitation of most of these studies falls in the selected sample where all the respondents are assumed to belong to a coherent society/region. In this work, we categorise each respondent, based on his/her location, into urban, suburban or rural. The purpose of this study is to show that the relation between smartphone addiction and all the other factors varies with respect to the region or location.
