Purpose: The study’s objectives were twofold. Firstly, to examine the determinants of foreign direct investment in BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). Secondly, the study explored whether the complementarity between trade openness and infrastructural development was one of the drivers of foreign direct investment inflows into BRICS during the period under study. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study used fixed effects, dynamic ordinary least squares (dynamic OLS) and the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) with data ranging from 1994 to 2020. Findings: Trade openness (FMOLS, dynamic OLS, fixed effects), economic growth (FMOLS) and exchange rates (fixed effects, FMOLS) were found to have had a significant positive effect on foreign direct investment inflow into BRICS. The study also noted that the influence of inflation (fixed effects), financial development (fixed effects, FMOLS) and human capital development (FMOLS, fixed effects) on foreign direct investment was significantly negative. Implications/Originality/Value: To attract more foreign direct investment inflows into their countries, BRICS authorities are urged to develop and implement policies geared towards enhancing trade openness, economic growth and strength of their local currencies.
目的:本研究的目的是双重的。首先，研究金砖国家(巴西、俄罗斯、印度、中国、南非)外国直接投资的决定因素。其次，研究探讨了在研究期间，贸易开放与基础设施发展之间的互补性是否是金砖国家外国直接投资流入的驱动因素之一。设计/方法/方法:采用固定效应、动态普通最小二乘法(dynamic OLS)和完全修正普通最小二乘法(fully modified ordinary least squares, FMOLS)，数据范围为1994 - 2020年。研究发现:贸易开放(FMOLS，动态OLS，固定效应)、经济增长(FMOLS)和汇率(固定效应，FMOLS)对金砖国家的外国直接投资流入有显著的正影响。研究还指出，通货膨胀(固定效应)、金融发展(固定效应，FMOLS)和人力资本发展(FMOLS，固定效应)对外国直接投资的影响显著为负。启示/创意/价值:为吸引更多外国直接投资流入金砖国家，我们敦促金砖国家当局制定和实施旨在促进贸易开放、经济增长和本币走强的政策。

Purpose: Diversification by the majority of the banks in a system contribute to the progression of systemic risk on one hand and affects the lending behaviors of the banks on the other. Since lending behaviors of the banks directly affect the availability of credit to the non-financial sector, the situation may worsen, as a consequence of systemic risk. In this study, we examine the relationship between asset commonality and credit expansion by commercial banks in Pakistan. Design/Methodology/Approach: We use post-global financial crisis data ranging from 2011-2020. A dynamic model is employed with a two-step system GMM technique to control for the problems of autocorrelation and endogeneity, as indicated by the pre-diagnostic tests. Findings: Our results show that asset commonality significantly affects credit expansion by banks in Pakistan. Moreover, the direction of the relationship is negative implying that the asset commonality of the banks in Pakistan, induces banks on the individual level to contract credit to the non-financial sector. Implications/Originality/Value: The findings are helpful for policymakers to devise and implement a prudent regulatory framework for the monetary sector, by not only targeting risk indicators of the financial sector but also keeping in view its repercussions to the real sector of the economy.

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate the effects of Procedural Justice on Teaching Faculty’s Job Satisfaction. The study was conducted in the higher educational institutions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, i.e. Bacha Khan University, University of Malakand, and the University of Swat. Methodology: The nature of the study was quantitative, and a questionnaire was used as a data collection tool for collecting information from the sample size of 217 respondents selected through the proportional allocation method. Findings: The study revealed a significant association (P≤0.05) of teacher satisfaction with the statements such as teachers’ unequal treatment from university administration, teachers are strictly dealt with the rule in case of any breach of law, the administration is dishonest, and insincere in term of fair treatment, no explanation regarding decision-making procedures, absence of communicating organizational information to teachers. Implications: The Government and administration should take positive steps to provide a good working environment to establish their trust by expanding cooperation towards employees, exploration of benefits for employees, strengthening employee relationships with each other, and encouragement of open communication that can stimulate and encourage exchanges of view between faculty and administration were forwarded some of the recommendations in light of the study findings.

Purpose: This Study aims to investigate the impact of foreign debt on the economic growth of Pakistan by categorizing the foreign debt into two different factors: IMF debt and non-IMF debt. Design/Methodology/Approach: The secondary data was taken quarterly from the State Bank of Pakistan for the period 2010 to 2021, and Johansen cointegration analysis and the Vector error correction model were used to study the relationship. Findings: The study's findings revealed that the IMF debt is significantly positive in the short run, while non-IMF foreign debt has an insignificant relationship with economic growth. Moreover, short-run results also found an insignificant relationship between foreign debt servicing and inflation rate and economic growth. On the other hand, in the long run, the relationship between IMF debt, foreign debt servicing, and the inflation rate were found to be significantly negative with the economic growth, whereas a significant positive relationship was identified between the non-IMF foreign debt and the economic growth. Implications/Originality/Value: The study concluded that the authorities should avoid foreign debt from IMF and rely upon non-IMF foreign debt if ever financing through foreign debt is needed. Even though the non-IMF foreign debt has a positive impact on the economic growth in the long, this positive effect is counter-negated by the cost of foreign debt, which is the foreign debt servicing, due to its significant negative impact on the economic growth of Pakistan.

Purpose: Internal audit, management review, and account reconciliation are popular tools for combating corporate fraud, but whistle-blowing is the most prevalent. Whistle-blowers frequently fear reprisal from coworkers and bosses. That is why they require protection and support. Many international organizations have advocated that countries adopt regulatory frameworks for protecting whistle-blowers. Therefore, the current study investigates the notion of whistle-blowing to compare it to Public Interest Disclosure Act 2017 of Pakistan, which was enacted. It identifies the influence of legal and ethical cultural norms in organizations on whistle-blowing behaviour. Design/Methodology/Approach: Qualitative method was used to analyze statutes, local and international protocols, rules and regulations of Pakistan and developed countries. Findings: The results suggest that the development of legal and ethical culture in a business may inspire whistle-blowing, and whistle-blowers may feel psychologically safe when reporting wrongdoings. Further, whistle-blowers must be legally supported and encouraged to function as corporate monitors, discouraging wrongdoers to the point of elimination. Implications/Originality/Value: It is suggested that the Act be revised to address the existed flaws. The Act is specifically amended to cover private-sector whistle-blowers, and an impartial, external reporting channel is established under one of the existing specialized organizations that deal with fraud. In particular, anti-corruption bodies, like National Accountability Bureau, has established as an external reporting and investigative channel.

Purpose: This paper aims to study the potential sources of convexity in the flow-performance relationship curve in the Asian region. Design/Methodology/Approach: The sample for this study includes 75 mutual funds from three broader investment categories: stock funds, balanced funds, and asset allocation funds. The data is collected from the financial reports of the respective funds from 2011 to 2020. The study employs the ordinary least square method on unbalanced panel data. Findings: The findings show that the fund flows are positively associated with fund performance in the Pakistani mutual fund market. The result also confirmed that the shape of the relationship is convex. The fund size and marketing expenditures are positively associated with convexity. However, fund age does not affect the convexity. The Result also confirmed that fund rating is not an appropriate proxy for fund size. Practical Implication- In period of low performance mutual fund management can retain their investors by increasing their marketing expenditures and fund size. Originality/Value: This paper fulfills an identified need to study the sources behind non-linear flow-performance relationship curve in the Asian region. This study also aims to resolve the conflict in literature relating to the fund size on the convexity of the flow performance relationship.

Purpose: This paper examines Islamic microfinance impeding sustainable women’s entrepreneurial performance in South Punjab, Pakistan. Further, we examine whether human capital mediates the relationship between variables Design/Methodology/Approach: To examine the impact, the primary data were collected from 220 women entrepreneurs who obtained microfinance from Islamic microfinance institutions (IMFIs) and Non-Islamic microfinance institutions operating in South Punjab, Pakistan. The correlation and regression models are used to translate the relationship and measure the impacts of microfinance on women’s entrepreneurial performance. Findings: Results show that Islamic microfinance plays a positive role in women's entrepreneurial success. Further, documented that IMFIs have contributed more to entrepreneurial growth as compared to non-IMFIs. Implications/Originality/Value: This paper can be further extended by incorporating more factors and increasing sample size in order to get more significant results.

Purpose: This study investigates the value relevance of financial information i.e., earnings (EPS), the book value of equity (BVE), and cash flow from operations (CFO). The study further investigates the influence of real EPS management (REM) on the value relevance of financial information because firms are now switching toward real earnings management rather than accrual-based earnings management (ABEM). Methodology: A sample of 250 public listed companies was used to test the hypotheses over the period 2014-2018. Using Driscoll-Kraay regression. Findings: This study finds that earnings, the book value of equity, and cash flow from operations are value relevant, and real earnings management moderates the value relevance of EPS, book value of equity, and cash flow from operations.
