The phenomenon of migration is addressed by several disciplines, such as demography, sociology, economics, political science and history. Therefore, a wide range of analytical tools can be used to analyse this phenomenon. This study focuses primarily on regional migration and capturing the dimension of distance in empirical analysis. Cartograms can be used to analyse regional migration, and Webb diagrams that capture the evolution of net international and internal migration over time. It is also appropriate to use the efficiency matrix of migration indices and nodal graphs to analyse migration flows between different regions. Spatial econometrics is then important for migration analysis to test the validity of theoretical concepts of migration. However, it is often not possible to track the exact distance of migration flows in the data. Therefore, it is necessary to resort to proxy methods to determine the distance. Tracking internal migration plays a crucial role in regional development and is vital in assessing political, economic and social change. Therefore, appropriate analytical tools must be used to analyse it at the regional level.
人口、社会学、经济学、政治学和历史学等几个学科都在研究移民现象。因此,可以使用广泛的分析工具来分析这一现象。本研究主要关注区域迁移,并在实证分析中捕捉距离维度。地图可以用来分析区域移民,而韦伯图可以捕捉到国际和国内净移民随时间的演变。用迁移指数效率矩阵和节点图来分析不同区域间的迁移流动也是合适的。因此,空间计量经济学对于移民分析非常重要,可以检验移民理论概念的有效性。然而,通常不可能在数据中跟踪迁移流的确切距离。因此,有必要采用代理方法来确定距离。跟踪国内移徙对区域发展起着至关重要的作用,对评估政治、经济和社会变革至关重要。因此,必须使用适当的分析工具在区域一级对其进行分析。

Different areas serve as sources of pension protection for the citizens of the European Union. Along with pensions from public systems, capital pensions are playing an increasing role. Financial institutions-providers of pension savings products operate on a different business model; the diversity cause difficulties in tracking individual’s pension savings, and in promoting pension protection. The pension tracking system is seen as a mechanism for achieving a more efficient market for pension products. This paper examines the development of the pension tracking system (PTS) for European Union member states with multi-pillar pension system. We study the application of the PTS in Bulgaria, to exemplify the structure of the PTS for other EU member states. We conclude that the development of PTS is a necessary set of measures that would be a prerequisite for improving the well-being of the savers.
不同地区是欧洲联盟公民养老金保护的来源。与公共系统的养老金一样,资本养老金也发挥着越来越大的作用。养老储蓄产品的金融机构提供商采用不同的商业模式;这种多样性给追踪个人养老金储蓄和促进养老金保护带来了困难。养老金跟踪系统被视为实现养老金产品更高效市场的一种机制。本文考察了具有多支柱养老金制度的欧盟成员国养老金跟踪系统(PTS)的发展情况。我们研究了临时技术秘书处在保加利亚的应用,以举例说明其他欧盟成员国的临时技术秘书的结构。我们的结论是,临时技术秘书处的发展是一套必要的措施,这将是改善储蓄者福祉的先决条件。

This paper integrates a non-profit third-housing sector (THS) into a housing market with Cournot competition. The paper analyses the indirect effects of a THS on the aggregate housing market, on a commercial housing supplier and on the market adaption of households not embraced by the THS. While beneficial for households included in the THS, a question arises related to the indirect effects of a THS. The paper argues for crowding-out and higher house prices in the commercial housing market in response to a THS expansion. In addition, a THS also affects the strategic behaviour of the commercial housing supplier. Compared to a conventional Cournot housing market, a fixed THS housing supply changes the market structure from one where the housing supply of different housing providers are alternative to one-another, to a market structure where housing supply is complementary.
本文将非营利的第三住房部门(THS)整合到具有库诺竞争的住房市场中。本文分析了THS对总住房市场、商品房供应商以及未被THS接受的家庭的市场适应的间接影响。虽然对纳入THS的家庭有利,但出现了一个与THS的间接影响有关的问题。本文认为,为了应对THS的扩张,商品房市场应该出现挤出和房价上涨。此外,THS还影响商品房供应商的战略行为。与传统的库诺住房市场相比,固定的THS住房供应改变了市场结构,从不同住房提供商的住房供应可以相互替代,转变为住房供应互补的市场结构。

The main concern of all economic companies is the resources equipping and allocating them in different economic sectors with the aim of maximizing profit and minimizing risk. Decentralization is one of the important factors that reduce investment risk. The investors plan to create investment by carefully planning and collecting sufficient information on the economic situation and analyzing the situation of various industries. As an economic enterprise, banks are looking for short- and long-term investments in a types of loans ,such as bailment of a capital , civil participation, reward, etc, which guarantees the return of their capital. In this paper, considering the condition of a bank as an economic enterprise, a model is presented which not only increases profit but also reduces risk. Two objective functions have been defined that the first objective is to minimize the risk and the second objective function is to maximize the of the bank profit, which is used by robust programming and Malvi Sim model. In this paper, we have investigated the Risky and non-Risky Partfolio and the optimal portfolio of bank assets from scenario based solution of the model and by using PSO and Genetic Optimization Algorithm. At all levels of confidence and optimal values of risk based on the estimation of SPP-CVAR method by Particle Swarm Algorithm (PSA) is less than genetic algorithm, which indicates better performance of Particle Swarm Algorithm (PSA) than Genetic Algorithm (GA). Also, the optimum wealth obtained from PSA solution is higher at all levels of confidence than the corresponding value of Genetic Algorithm (GA), and this is another reason to confirm the performance of PSO algorithm compared to the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The values of the first goal function, obtained from the PSO algorithm, for all confidence levels are lower than those of the genetic algorithm. The optimum wealth obtained from PSA is higher than genetic algorithm. At 0.9 level, the value of LR of kupiec statistics for the SPP-CVAR method was less than the Chi-square statistics (Critical value) which was assumed to be acceptable.
所有经济公司最关心的是如何在不同的经济部门中配置和配置资源,以实现利润最大化和风险最小化。分权是降低投资风险的重要因素之一。投资者通过仔细规划和收集充分的经济形势信息,分析各行业的形势,计划进行投资。作为一个经济企业,银行寻求短期和长期投资的贷款类型,如保证金、公民参与、奖励等,以保证其资本的回报。本文考虑银行作为经济企业的情况,提出了一种既能增加利润又能降低风险的模型。定义了两个目标函数,第一个目标是风险最小化,第二个目标函数是银行利润最大化,并采用鲁棒规划和Malvi Sim模型。本文从基于场景的模型求解出发,利用粒子群算法和遗传优化算法,研究了银行资产的风险组合和非风险组合以及最优组合。粒子群算法(PSA)基于SPP-CVAR方法估计的各级置信度和最优风险值均小于遗传算法,表明粒子群算法(PSA)的性能优于遗传算法(GA)。同时,从PSA解中得到的最优财富在各级置信度上都高于遗传算法(Genetic Algorithm, GA)的对应值,这也是证实PSO算法相对于遗传算法(Genetic Algorithm, GA)性能的另一个原因。PSO算法得到的第一个目标函数在所有置信水平下的值都低于遗传算法。该算法获得的最优财富高于遗传算法。在0.9水平下,SPP-CVAR方法的kupiec统计量的LR值小于卡方统计量(临界值),假设可以接受。

This article aims to detect empirically, the nexus dynamic interrelationships between health expenditure, totally and disaggregated, economic growth, fertility rate, life expectancy and CO2 emissions in six middle-income MENA countries, namely, (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia), during 2000 to 2019. We employ an advanced econometric technique, Dynamic Panel Data system analysis, which allows estimating time rarely variant variables. Article results show a significant and robust positive association between health expenditure and economic growth, in one hand, and negative associations between economic growth and all which of, fertility rate, life expectancy and CO2 emissions, on the other hand. Moreover, a negative nexus between fertility rate and life expectancy has been detected. Public, private and external health expenditure affect economic growth positively and significantly, meanwhile affect fertility rate negatively, except health public expenditure, which seems to encourage fertility rate. This indicates that disaggregated health expenditure matters for examination. Furthermore, negative impact of CO2 emissions on growth and life expectancy can crowd out health expenditure positive impacts on both growth and life expectancy. A series of recommendations have been introduced such as increasing health share in public spending, and for more effective government health expenditure and control pollution and CO2 emissions. Furthermore, health spending, policies and system has to function as well to mitigate impacts of high fertility, in marginalized, rural and fungible population and areas. This article shines a light on the notable issues in the area, whereas high fertility rate, limited government health expenditure, high employment and low awareness for pollution and environment degradation.
本文旨在实证研究2000年至2019年期间,中东和北非6个中等收入国家(阿尔及利亚、埃及、约旦、黎巴嫩、摩洛哥和突尼斯)的总体和分类卫生支出与经济增长、生育率、预期寿命和二氧化碳排放之间的联系动态相互关系。我们采用了一种先进的计量经济学技术,动态面板数据系统分析,它允许估计时间很少变变量。研究结果表明,卫生支出与经济增长之间存在显著的正相关关系,而经济增长与生育率、预期寿命和二氧化碳排放之间存在负相关关系。此外,还发现生育率与预期寿命之间存在负相关关系。公共、私人和外部卫生支出对经济增长产生积极而显著的影响,同时对生育率产生消极影响,但卫生公共支出似乎鼓励生育率。这表明分类保健支出值得审查。此外,二氧化碳排放对增长和预期寿命的负面影响可能会挤掉卫生支出对增长和预期寿命的积极影响。已经提出了一系列建议,例如增加公共支出中卫生方面的份额,以及提高政府卫生支出的效率和控制污染和二氧化碳排放。此外,卫生支出、政策和制度也必须发挥作用,减轻高生育率对边缘化、农村和可替代人口和地区的影响。这篇文章揭示了该地区值得注意的问题,即高生育率、有限的政府卫生支出、高就业率和对污染和环境退化的认识不足。

Dr Muhammad Ramzan Sheikh, Hadees Akhtar, I. Hussain
This study examines the association of living areas (slum and non-slum) with the selected public health-related variables in the presence of socioeconomic variables among married women and also having a child. A total of 150 women aged 18 to 49 are selected of which 50 women from slums and 100 women are from non-slum areas of Multan by applying the cluster and random sampling techniques. The cross-tabulation method is used to find the results. The dependent variable is Body Mass Index (BMI) and it is analyzed with the socio-economic variables such as mass media index, household characteristics and education. The findings exhibit that the BMI of the women living in the slum areas is low due to a low level of education, lack of mass media access, bad household structures, and poor or ignorant area. The women of the slum area have fewer mass media access, poor status of household characteristics and less education as compared to the women living in the non-slum areas. BMI is significantly affected by area, women's education and household characteristics except for physical work, job status, mass media access and husband education. The findings of this study suggest that to provide health facilities or to reduce the gap in public health, education, mass media access and households characteristics might be considered while making any decision related to the slum and non-slum areas.
本研究考察了生活区域(贫民窟和非贫民窟)与选定的公共健康相关变量在已婚妇女和有孩子的社会经济变量存在下的关系。采用整群抽样和随机抽样技术,共选取了150名年龄在18至49岁之间的妇女,其中50名妇女来自木尔坦的贫民窟,100名妇女来自非贫民窟地区。采用交叉表法查找结果。因变量为身体质量指数(BMI),并与大众媒介指数、家庭特征和受教育程度等社会经济变量进行分析。研究结果表明,生活在贫民窟地区的女性的BMI较低,原因是受教育程度低、缺乏大众媒体、家庭结构不佳以及贫困或无知的地区。与生活在非贫民窟地区的妇女相比,贫民窟地区的妇女接触大众传媒的机会较少,家庭特征状况较差,受教育程度较低。除体力劳动、工作状态、大众传媒接触和丈夫教育程度外,地区、女性受教育程度和家庭特征对BMI有显著影响。这项研究的结果表明,在作出与贫民窟和非贫民窟地区有关的任何决定时,可以考虑提供卫生设施或缩小公共卫生、教育、大众媒体获取和家庭特征方面的差距。

Macroeconomic Instability and Terrorism Nexus; Empirical Evidence in Case of Pakistan 宏观经济不稳定与恐怖主义关系;巴基斯坦案例中的经验证据
IF 2.4 Q1 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2022-06-30 DOI: 10.55603/jes.v1i1.a6
Hafsa Jabeen, Ayesha Naz
The current study is an attempt to analyze the association between macroeconomic instability and terrorism in Pakistan over the period of 1970 to 2020. Six important variables are taken as a proxy to measure macroeconomic instability which includes external debt, budget deficit, trade deficit, real effective exchange rate (REER), inflation and unemployment. Results indicate that there exists a long run cointegration relationship between the indictors of macroeconomic instability and terrorism. FMOLS is employed to obtain the estimates and it reveals that budget deficit and external debt is negatively associated with terrorism. It indicates that government expenditures on different project such as infrastructure create economic opportunities, therefore, reduces terrorism. Furthermore, welfare programmes also improve the performance of socioeconomic variables that translates into harmonized environment which lessens violence. The variable of trade deficit, inflation and unemployment has positive impact on terrorism while REER is insignificant. In context of trade deficit, higher imports results in job loss of domestic industries, hence, it hits the vulnerable groups. Therefore, the opportunity cost of life of these groups reduces and it increases the probability to become a part of terrorist activities. Inflation also pushes the vulnerable groups in poverty by reduces the purchasing power and unemployed individuals are also easy target to get involve themselves in acts of aggression. This study also constructs the macroeconomic instability index including the six variables through principal component analysis (PCA). Results of this model show that macroeconomic instability index and GDP has positive effect on terrorism. In case of GDP, the plausible reason could be uneven income distribution that increases terrorist activities. For the policy implications, government need to divert the resources from non-productive to productive uses through the investment in such projects which has direct and indirect impact on the welfare. In this way deprived group will enjoy economic perks and engage themselves in productive activities rather than becoming a helping hand in terrorism.
当前的研究试图分析1970年至2020年期间巴基斯坦宏观经济不稳定与恐怖主义之间的关系。六个重要变量作为衡量宏观经济不稳定性的代理,包括外债、预算赤字、贸易赤字、实际有效汇率(REER)、通货膨胀和失业。结果表明,宏观经济不稳定性指标与恐怖主义之间存在长期协整关系。使用FMOLS来获得估计数,它显示预算赤字和外债与恐怖主义负相关。这表明政府在基础设施等不同项目上的支出创造了经济机会,因此减少了恐怖主义。此外,福利方案还能改善社会经济变量的表现,从而转化为减少暴力的和谐环境。贸易逆差、通货膨胀和失业变量对恐怖主义有正向影响,而REER不显著。在贸易逆差的背景下,进口增加会导致国内产业的就业岗位减少,从而打击弱势群体。因此,这些群体的生命机会成本降低,成为恐怖活动一部分的可能性增加。通货膨胀也通过降低购买力而使弱势群体陷入贫困,失业的个人也容易成为参与侵略行为的目标。本文还通过主成分分析(PCA)构建了包含6个变量的宏观经济不稳定性指标。模型结果表明,宏观经济不稳定指数和GDP对恐怖主义有正向影响。就GDP而言,合理的理由可能是收入分配不均导致恐怖活动增加。就政策影响而言,政府需要通过投资这些对福利有直接和间接影响的项目,将资源从非生产性用途转移到生产性用途。通过这种方式,贫困群体将享受经济福利,并参与生产活动,而不是成为恐怖主义的帮凶。

The following research examines economic growth potential from the perspective of globalization for Pakistan. The empirical results are estimated using the ARDL model over the period 1970 to 2018. The study reports the time before and after the openness to the world. The country opened up its borders quite late in the 80s. The results demonstrate that, in the short term, globalization negatively affects economic growth, but that, in the long run, it boosts economic growth. Globalization has assisted Pakistan's economic progress since the country opened its borders and economy to the rest of the world, but not to too much extent, what it could. Furthermore, research findings demonstrate that government spending and physical capital improve economic growth, however, inflation has a detrimental impact on Pakistan's economic growth.
以下研究从全球化的角度考察巴基斯坦的经济增长潜力。使用ARDL模型对1970年至2018年期间的实证结果进行了估计。该研究报告了对世界开放前后的时间。这个国家在80年代后期开放了边境。结果表明,在短期内,全球化对经济增长产生负面影响,但从长期来看,它促进了经济增长。自从巴基斯坦向世界其他国家开放边境和经济以来,全球化帮助了巴基斯坦的经济发展,但程度并不太大。此外,研究结果表明,政府支出和实物资本促进经济增长,但通货膨胀对巴基斯坦的经济增长有不利影响。

The travel and tours enterprise were badly affected due to pandemics. In the aftermath of high restrictions on human movement, travel-based entrepreneurs were highly impacted due to lockdown. Due to pandemic, highly impacted into earning-saving, lack of supportive working conditions, lower self-capacity, and lack of recovery budget and policies, the travel and tours-based entrepreneurs were highly impacted. The study reflected the impact of pandemics on travel and tours, major constraints, and a possible way forward to sustaining. The research explores what are the major existing practices of sustaining travel and tours entrepreneurs during pandemics, what factors can contribute to building bounce-back capacities of travel and tours entrepreneurs’ sustainability. Above forty-four, snowball-based sampling was done from major travel and tours entrepreneurs, Pokhara-Nepal. A structure-based open-ended questionnaire, key informant interviews, and in-person-based discussion were applied in the method of study. Used the content analysis along with a recap of the research question, undertake bracketing to identify biases, operationalize variables with develop a coding, and code the data with undertaking analysis while qualitative analysis, and multiple regression facilitated on quantitative analysis to finalize the discussion. The study reflects that self-saving, social support, state and financial institutions recovery support, social behavior and change communication, full vaccination practices, and self-accountable tourist behavior are highly expectable conditions to the sustainability of travel and torus entrepreneurship in the learning area. The study concludes that self-saving capacity can contribute to bounce-back capacity for every entrepreneur. Social support and socioeconomic recovery packages were also contributing to sustaining travel and tours in the study area. Self-saving condition and capacity is higher bounce back capacity compared to non-saved entrepreneurs in the study area. Social support, socioeconomic recovery practices, and recovery packages from state and financial institutions were not at the higher level as expected.
由于大流行,旅游业受到严重影响。在严格限制人员流动之后,由于封锁,以旅行为基础的企业家受到了很大的影响。由于疫情大流行,节余受到严重影响,缺乏支持性工作条件,自我能力较低,缺乏恢复预算和政策,旅游业和旅游业企业家受到严重影响。该研究反映了大流行病对旅行和旅游的影响、主要制约因素以及可能的维持方式。该研究探讨了在大流行病期间维持旅游企业家的主要现有做法是什么,哪些因素有助于建立旅游企业家的可持续性反弹能力。在44个以上的案例中,以滚雪球为基础的抽样是在Pokhara-Nepal的主要旅游和旅游企业家中进行的。研究方法采用基于结构的开放式问卷、关键信息提供者访谈和面对面的讨论。使用内容分析和研究问题的概述,采用括号法识别偏差,通过开发编码对变量进行操作,并在定性分析时使用承接分析对数据进行编码,并在定量分析时使用多元回归来完成讨论。研究表明,自我储蓄、社会支持、国家和金融机构的恢复支持、社会行为和变革沟通、全面疫苗接种实践和自我负责的游客行为是学习区旅游和环面创业可持续性的高度可预期条件。研究得出结论,自我拯救能力有助于每位企业家的反弹能力。社会支持和社会经济恢复一揽子计划也有助于维持研究地区的旅行和旅游。研究区企业家的自救条件和自救能力均高于非自救企业家的自救能力。来自国家和金融机构的社会支持、社会经济恢复实践和恢复一揽子计划没有达到预期的较高水平。
