Identification of Attributes in Battery Electric Vehicle using Kano Model in India
Get PDFAs there is scarcity of energy resources, more and more companies in different countries have put lot of attention to clean energy so as to reduce pollution emissions. Now it‘s crucial to develop battery electric vehicle (BEV) to meet the government and society‘s demand. It‘s not easy though as the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry needs to overcome major challenges related to battery technology and charging infrastructure, both of which have failed to match the rapid pace set by BEVs. There are many factors affecting the wide utilization of BEV. It is vital to study customer satisfaction of BEV and find the way to improve customer satisfaction and identify critical factors. As the relationship between product performance and customer satisfaction is non-linear, the Kano model is used to analyze customer needs for the BEV so that the adoption of BEV in India can be encouraged. There are three approaches to Kano model used to categorize the BEV attributes in broadly four categories such as Must-be (M), One-dimensional (O), Attractive (A) and Indifferent (I) quality. As per the strategic rule M > O > A > I, the priorities of efforts towards promotion and adoption of BEV is identified, i.e., government as well as the vehicle firms have to fulfill all the must-be requirements. They should demonstrate phenomenal improvement of one-dimensional qualities to make the battery electric vehicle competitive to the traditional motor vehicles. Finally, the customers will be amazed if the attractive requirements are fulfilled

Get PDFThe growth of the economy is fundamental to economic and social well-being. Factors that can be attributed to economic growth include foreign direct investment. Using the Cointegration approach, data from 1991 to 2015 from three major economies in sub-Saharan Africa that represent East Africa, SADc and Eco was regional groupings is used to analyze the major determinants of foreign direct investment. The study only included countries with complete data. The results indicate that countries with well-developed infrastructure are likely to attract foreign investors. Likewise, a higher return on investment is significant in influencing foreign direct investment. Confirming previous studies in developed economics, the results indicate that openness to trade is significant in attracting foreign capital. The research demonstrates the urgent need to improve infrastructure, streamline red tape and reduce the cost of operations, including taxation
An Econometric Time-Series analysis of the Dynamic Relationship among Trade, Financial Development and Economic Growth in India

Economic Partnership between India and Japan – Comparative Trade and Sectoral Analysis
Get PDFIndia entered into an economic partnership with Japan in the year 2010 called CEPA with an objective to liberalize and facilitate trade in goods and services between both the nations. The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) signed by India and Japan in 2011 was expected to boost bilateral trade in goods and services. Analysis of India-Japan trade relations reveal that India has ranked quite low in Japan‟s external trade profile. In 2014, India was nineteenth among Japan's export destinations and twenty fourth among import sources. The question thus arises whether CEPA has contributed to India's exports or the effect is negligible or in worst case negative since bilateral trade has fallen, there has been increase in trade deficit and even TII does not show any improvement. In the backdrop of this, the objective of this research paper is to study the existing levels of trade between India and Japan and assess the impact of CEPA on exports from India to Japan at the macro level as well as specifically for individual sectors over a time period of ten years, from 2007 to 2016. The paper tries to examine the effect of CEPA on various sectors too

The Impact of Monetary Policy Shock on Macroeconomic Variables
Get PDFResearchers have used macroeconomic models to assess the monetary transmission process. Employing a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model, the study shows that a monetary policy shock in the form of an unanticipated rise in the interest rate causes real output and inflation to fall. The results are consistent with those obtained from other two New Keynesian models used to check the robustness of the findings. As regards the degree of inflation and output persistence, the benchmark model shows low level of inflation persistence but no output persistence under all monetary rules. The other two models show some degree of output and inflation persistence for all the three monetary rules. Finally, it looks as if the choice of monetary policy rule determines the degree of output and inflation persistence
