Impacts of Probability of Negative Returns on Future Equity Returns
No full textThe purpose of this research is to examine the impact of Probability of Negative Returns on future equity returns of Pakistan Stock Market. The study includes the monthly data over the period from 2009 to 2023, comprising of 490 listed companies on the (Pakistan Stock Exchange). The probability of negative returns is calculated from the daily returns of each stock. Regression analysis, employing the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Fama & French (1993) 3-factor model, and Fama & MacBeth, (1973) regression, has been conducted to ascertain the relationship between the probability of negative returns of stocks and their future returns. This study examines the impact of the Probability of Negative Returns (PNR) as a measure of downside risk on future returns within the Pakistan Stock Market. The results demonstrate that a negative and statistically significant relationship exists between PNR and future returns at the portfolio level. However, Fama & MacBeth (1973) regression indicates a negative but statistically insignificant relationship between PNR and future returns of the stock. Furthermore, CAPM single factor and Fama & French (1993) 3 factor models (FF-3) are performed to assess the impacts of PNR on future returns when controlled with market risk factors. CAPM and FF-3 demonstrates that stocks with a lowest probability of negative returns yield 2.8% and 1.6% additional monthly returns than stocks in highest probability of negative returns in equally weighted portfolios
How does Artificial Intelligence enable and enhance value co-creation in industrial markets? An exploratory case study in the B2B ecosystem
No full textResearch in recent years has mostly concentrated on the theoretical issues and technical facets of artificial intelligence (AI). Businesses are now faced with the dilemma of how to implement AI that provides economic value due to the flood of data and the growth in processing capacity. There is still little research in this area on how to use AI for B2B operations, particularly marketing. This study utilizes the micro-foundations methodology, the dynamic capabilities perspective of the company, and a few case studies of large organizations that employ AI for B2B marketing in order to fill this gap. The report highlights how businesses may utilize AI to manage B2B by identifying a variety of AI specific micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities. The data from this analysis also revealed several significant cross-cutting components that show how certain key concepts are related to one another and how they impact overall business value
Sharia Frameworks for Sustainable Development: Aligning Sharia Governance with Sustainable Development Goals for Climate Action and Responsible Consumption
No full textThis paper explores the role of Sharia governance frameworks in promoting sustainable development, focusing on how Sharia-compliant practices can be aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). The study examines the intersection of Islamic finance, environmental stewardship, and ethical consumption, emphasizing key Sharia principles such as Khilafah (trusteeship of the Earth), Maslahah (public interest), and Istislah (welfare maximization) in addressing global sustainability challenges. By investigating existing Sharia-compliant financial tools, such as Green Sukuk, and institutional mechanisms within Islamic finance, the paper highlights the potential for these frameworks to drive climate action and promote responsible resource usage. The research proposes a comprehensive Sharia-based governance model that integrates environmental responsibility and ethical consumption into decision-making processes, aiming to improve SDG outcomes in Muslim-majority countries and globally. This framework emphasizes the importance of Sharia scholars, regulatory bodies, and financial institutions in fostering a sustainable future, while also addressing challenges in the standardization and implementation of these practices across diverse contexts. Through this analysis, the paper contributes to the growing body of literature on the convergence of Islamic governance, sustainable development, and climate change mitigation
Effect of Violent Conflict on Female DecisionMaking Power within the Household
No full textWomen decision-making power within the household is an important component of women empowerment. In recent studies, the effect of violent conflict on women’s decision-making power has become an evolving topic in literature. The current study is an attempt to unleash the effect of terrorist attacks on women’s decision-making within the household in the case of Pakistan. The study examined the impact of terrorist attacks on women’s decision making power during the surge and after the surge in the violent conflict. The study selected the three rounds of data from the Household Integrated Economic Survey (HIES) 2005-06, 2013- 14 and 2018-19. The record of terrorist attacks taken from the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), which records every terrorist attack. So, we have exploited the temporal and spatial variation in the terrorist attacks data because in KPK and Balochistan, the intensity of the attacks was very high compared to Sindh and Punjab. The results indicate an average increase of approximately 25% in women\u27s participation in decision-making, which is notably higher than previously reported magnitudes in the literature. This underscores the unique and potent effect of high-intensity violence such as terrorism on women\u27s empowerment within households. Further analysis using a stricter measure of empowerment, namely the dichotomous variable of women\u27s decision-making, also confirms these findings, showing an increase in the probability of women\u27s participation in household decisions by approximately 12 percentage points compared to unexposed women
Corruption and Education: A Cross-Analysis using Panel Data
No full textEducation is the foundational pillar of every country to find pathways of prosperity, present and future. The question that academicians and legislators are trying to answer circles around whether education planting is corruption or not. On the one hand, a first strand of studies supports the role of education in negatively affecting corruption via, inter alia, channels of legal behavior, social responsibility, improved social cohesion and creation of a shackled society (Asongu & Nwachukwu, 2015; Uslaner & Rothstein 2016, Merloni 2018,; Beets, 2005; Oreopoulos and Salvanes, 2009; Acemoglu and Robinsen 2020). On the other hand, a second stream of studies suggests that education increases participation in corrupt activities (Kaffenberger, 2012; Mocan, 2008; Truex, 2011, Dirwan, 2019). On a general note, exploratory studies are consistent on the subject of the high economic cost of corruption (Ramisha et al., 2022; Heyneman et al., 2007). Hence, this study aims to examine the interplay between corruption and education inequality as well as provide some insights into a major question in development economics: why some developing countries are growing at a faster rate while others are not. It is assumed that the relationship between educational inequality and corruption is not simple. Furthermore, the interplay of education attainment and corruption almost follows the path of the three stages of the production function. Such as, at first stage the decrease of education inequality, the corruption may increase at an increasing rate. In the second stage with the decrease in the education inequality, corruption may increase at a decreasing rate and eventually in the third stage, further decrease in education inequality, corruption may start to decline
