Climate Change reveals the multi dimensional spheres of economic impact on the developing economy. The inherent nature of economic forecasting involves significant degrees of uncertainty, estimates of the results of global warming have varied widely. However, climate change impacts can be measured as an economic cost. This is particularly well-suited to market impacts, that is impacts that are linked to market transactions and directly affect Gross Domestic Product. Monetary measures of non-market impacts, like impacts on human health and ecosystems, are more difficult to calculate. Therefore protecting the forests, wildlife, climate, natural wealth and the environment are now a matter of life and death for this world. Talented, imaginative and committed young professional are needed more than ever to create a future where people can live in harmony with nature. Show that professionals are concerned and contribute their share to safe guard the climate and environment. Hence, the main objective of this research paper is to study the theoretical aspects of the effects of climate change on humans, industry, economy and society.

Migration has been a common phenomenon since a long time. Movement of people across borders and thus, movement of ideas, new skills and technical know-how result in the benefits not only for the receiving countries but also for the sending countries. In this regard, it is very important to consider the role of Diaspora communities for the receiving countries and our study focuses on the role of Indian Diaspora communities residing in other foreign lands and will analyze their roles in enhancing the working of different sectors of the economy in which they live. The study further illuminates the contribution of the Indian Diaspora to their native land i.e., India. There is no denial to the fact that Indian Diaspora has been contributing towards the development of the Indian economy in being the major source of Foreign Direct Investment, in transferring technology and technical know- how, substantial flow of knowledge, contributing towards tourism, charity activities, in establishing NGOs to work towards the betterment of the society and fighting social evils existing. The other side of this phenomenon is the contribution of Indian Diaspora to the receiving countries, basically, to those countries in which they live. These communities bring in their skills for the utilization of the available resources, put on their knowledge and add onto the set of technical know- how, providing new demand to the consumer market, providing to the employment opportunities and also adding to the production level of the economy. So this paper reveals the positive aspect of the existing of Indian Diaspora for foreign countries, relating their advantages to Indian Territory also.

The growing trade war among India and China is creating imbalance in the among developing countries. Both countries are affecting in their business prospects. India is basically importing raw material for export of good and services. Growing tension leads to unnecessary growth impetus which affects industry growth, loss of employment opportunities and other trade related problems. India has considerable potential for reducing its trade deficit with China, as we can see from Made-in-China products sold on the Indian market. Most of them are low- and mid-range products. India can make these things itself. The value tune to the cores of rupees is loss for the both counties; it will create far reaching impact in Indian business environment. These papers highlight the possible causes and consequences of trade war between to Asian giants and suggest how to promote regional growth prospects for speedy development of economics.

This paper studies the contributions of bank-based financing to agriculture, SMEs and non-SMEs in the overall poverty reduction in Bangladesh. Annual data are used from 1980 to 2015. ARDL bounds testing approach is applied for evidence of cointegration among the variables and VECM is subsequently estimated. The empirical results show that financing of non-SMEs significantly reduces overall poverty in the long run. To this effect, SMEs play a marginal role in the current state of affairs. In contrast, agricultural financing reveals, otherwise.

In country like India, women entrepreneurs have to overcome multiple problems to emerge as entrepreneurs and these problems usually differ from business to business. Similarly, women entrepreneurs in our country encounter a few problems just because they are women. Thus, the complicated, multifaceted gender specific problems of women entrepreneurs require and in-depth, systematic and scientific study of issues concerned with the women entrepreneurs in different business units for finding a feasible solution to their problems. Finally, to harness their potential and for their continue growth and developments, it is necessary to formulate and action plan and appropriate strategies for stimulation support and for sustaining their efforts in the right direction. For this purpose of studying the performance and problems of women entrepreneurs, Thanjavur district has been undertaken. The industrial development and entrepreneurial development in Thanjavur district in recent years has necessitated a deeper analysis of emerging women entrepreneurs.

Competitive advantage for economies, both developed and developing, will be increasingly based on knowledge in all its forms, including science and technology, smart entrepreneurship, and new business and organizational development models. Due to COVID-19, the need for innovative solutions to health and economic disruptions has never been as keenly felt. This paper is structured in five parts. The first part examines the extent to which various countries in Sub-Saharan Africa participate in the global knowledge economy. Data is drawn from the UN Knowledge Index and canvases knowledge economy parameters such as research and development, value-added industrial production and knowledge-intensive services, advanced education, and entrepreneurship. The second part examines in more depth some of the critical drivers of the knowledge economy, drawing on our own framework. The third part critically examines the key policy documents and visions of select African nations to ascertain progress and performance in the knowledge economy from a policy point of view. The fourth section examines the relationship between Africa and India. India has long-standing links with Africa in economy, culture, and society. This paper examines recent developments in the relationship including trade and student mobility. The final section is the conclusion and provides some strategies and policies for Africa to engage further with the knowledge economy.

Traditional models (presented before 1980s) which claimed to explain the reasons and process of economic growth had rarely considered improvement in quality of technology (or innovation) as the main reason for economic growth. Most of the traditional models such as Harrod-Domar, Lewis etc focused on Capital (K) as the famous factor of production that individually suffered from the diminishing marginal productivity. In fact, the famous Neoclassical model of economic growth (Solow version) assumed that both traditional factors of production such as Labor (L) and Capital (K) go through decreasing returns to scale, which means by just applying more capital, or more labor alone, the economies would experience slower rather than higher rate of growth. Therefore in that model we thought the growth is basically coming from “outside factors” such as increased international trade, lower taxation or reduced regulation. This assertion also promoted the argument that growth is “exogenous” rather than “endogenous”. The whole picture of endogenous growth was further drastically changed when Paul Romer (Nobel Prize winner of 2018) arrived on the horizon in 1990s to promote the argument that technological change as against mere Capital (K) can in fact be the prime driver of economic growth. This paper will analyze the traditional arguments of growth and compare them with what Paul Romer’s contribution is to the growth dilemma. The present paper is structured as follows: Section 1 surveys the neoclassical model that claims that growth is exogenous and Section 2 is used to make the main point that innovation, technological growth and entrepreneurship all contribute to economy in a serious way and the growth can be endogenous too. Section 3 points out the main features of this argument as applied to India’s case in a limited sense of the term.
