In this paper the authors study the relationships among the grades in the exams of mathematics in an economics faculty and some external variables (for instance, gender, high school final mark, etc.). They study also the impact of some methodological innovations on these grades. Moreover, time and number of attempts to pass the exam are studied in relationship to the same variables. The authors find that the type of high school attended and the final mark achieved, the attendance of the lessons, the choice to take partial exams and the use of an online platform for exercises significatively influence the learning outcomes at least for the first year exam.

This study attempts to examine the impact of human capital formation in terms of health and education expenditure on GDP growth of five South Asian economies. It uses annual panel data of Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka for the period 2000-2017, published by the World Bank. Panel unit root test, Pedroni cointegration test, panel auto regressive distributed lagged (ARDL) model estimation, and Granger causality test are applied. The result of panel ARDL model estimation reveals that growth of GDP, health expenditure and government education expenditure have long run association, but no short run correlation among the variables. The Granger causality test reveals the existence of a bidirectional causality between GDP growth rate and health expenditure, and a unidirectional causality from education expenditure to GDP growth. It means health expenditure causes GDP growth rate and the vice versa, and government education expenditure also causes GDP growth. Therefore, the policy makers should promote human capital formation through greater budget allocations towards health and education sector, and ensure effective use of allocated expenditures on education and health for achieving sustainable economic growth through human capital formation in South Asia.

Role of cultural activities in social development of communities has recently been the subject of interest for social scientists. These activities act as catalyst for boosting socio-economic growth of communities. This was successfully demonstrated in Tubmanburg, Liberia; a city that remained in crisis for last couple of decades. This paper examines role of cultural events in reviving social life of population particularly its influence on school attendance and per capita income of households. After 2004, school attendance and per capita income of people in Tubmanburg started improving significantly and a perception developed that probably it happened due to greater social interaction in cultural events. In essence this paper is a reality check of this perception. It was concluded that cultural activities played significant role in social awareness of population, consequently school attendance by students and per capita income of population increased in war hit city of Tubmanburg.

Student loan debt has become an increasingly important topic among American students, families, politicians, and economists. These student loans are even more concerning for those who do not complete their course of education and are left with reduced earning potential. Although an expansive collection of scholarly research has examined the outcomes - both financial and psychological - of student debt burdens, very few studies have considered the combined effects of endogenous and exogenous characteristics on graduation likelihood. To this end, we conducted a series of analyses to test multiple environmental variables' influence on graduation rates and student loan levels. We found out that school size and type, student background, and regional factors all heavily influenced both graduation rates and student loan debt.

The same survey of a self-administered questionnaire was handed out to introductory macroeconomics students in Spring 2014 and Spring 2015 at the University of Macedonia in Greece, to determine students' perceptions of how including the Greek financial crisis (GFC) in the teaching of introductory macroeconomics benefits students. The methodology of the survey is quantitative in nature based on descriptive statistics and t-tests were carried out for each variable of interest. The research questions under examination are: 1) Did the incorporation of the GFC in the teaching of introductory macroeconomies influence university students' perceptions about the course?; 2) Did the evaluations of the course by the two cohorts of students change as the crisis intensifies in a statistically significant manner? The innovation of the study is determining students' perceptions of the value of incorporating the GFC in the teaching of macroeconomics and the statistical evaluation of responses of two cohorts of students as the crisis intensifies. Overall, students evaluated positively the incorporation of the GFC in their learning in the introductory macroeconomics course. From 2014 to 2015, the student level of understanding of the GFC incorporated in the teaching of introductory economics increases. Nevertheless, students are not interested in employment as economists.
2014年春季和2015年春季，在希腊马其顿大学(University of Macedonia)，一份相同的自我管理问卷调查发给了宏观经济学入门专业的学生，以确定学生对将希腊金融危机(GFC)纳入宏观经济学入门课程的教学如何使学生受益的看法。调查的方法本质上是定量的，基于描述性统计和对每个感兴趣的变量进行了t检验。考察的研究问题是:1)在宏观经济学导论教学中引入GFC是否影响大学生对这门课程的看法?2)两组学生对课程的评价是否随着危机的加剧而发生统计学上显著的变化?该研究的创新之处在于确定学生对将全球金融危机纳入宏观经济学教学的价值的看法，以及对危机加剧时两组学生的反应进行统计评估。总体而言，学生们在宏观经济学入门课程中积极评价了GFC在学习中的应用。从2014年到2015年，学生对纳入经济学导论教学的GFC的理解水平有所提高。然而，学生们对经济学家的工作并不感兴趣。
