The Random Walk Model in the Pakistani Equity market: An Examination
Full text linkThis paper examines the validity of the Random Walk Model in the Pakistani equity market. The model, extensively tested in other equity markets, implies that past movements in a stock price are not helpful in predicting future prices of that stock. The model states that changes in stock prices are serially independent and conform to some probability distribution. Conventionally, the independence part is examined through Serial Correlation Test, whereas the distributional aspect is analysed through Frequency Distributions. Same techniques are applied in this paper on daily closing prices of 36 individual stocks, 8 sector indices, and a market index from January 1, 1989 to December 30, 1993. The analysis indicates that the Random Walk Model is not valid in the Pakistani equity market as is the case in other emerging markets. The results show the presence of strong serial dependence in stock returns and indicate the slow adjustment of the market to new information. This points to the weaknesses of the market regarding the dissemination of pertinent information to potential investors, indicating that effective measures should be taken in this regard. The shape of the distribution reveals that stock returns in the Pakistani market, like in other equity markets, do not comply with the normal distribution, implying that theoretical models must be used with caution.Stock Prices; Random Walk; Pakistan; Emerging Market; Normal Distribution
Abul Fazal\u27s short stories: Social portraits/ আবুল ফজলের ছোটগল্প : সমাজচিত্র
No full textLiterature speaks of society, it speaks of people. Because a writer is the most emotional person in the society. Therefore, any special emotion, crisis, conflict in the life of the society, country, people makes the writer think. Abul Fazal, one of the great 20th century factionalists. He believed that only a writer could be able to express truth in society through his writings. Abul Fazal as a writer has explored various aspects of modern life reality in his short stories such as various crises of society, poverty, mental turmoil, fluctuations of hope and despair. In his short stories, the author depicts the reality of the obstacles that the subtle events of the society create in the way of individual life. On the other hand, short stories are the special medium of expression in literature where fragmentary images of social life are presented in terms of reality. Abul Fazal is a unique genius in drawing this picture

The Erasure Trilogy: Fazal Sheikh interviewed by Shela Sheikh
Full text linkIn 2010, Fazal Sheikh visited Israel and the West Bank for the first time. Sheikh had been invited to join This Place, a project initiated by the photographer Frédéric Brenner to explore the region through the lenses of twelve internationally-renowned photographers.1 During the course of the many extended visits to the region that were to follow, Sheikh produced three bodies of work—Memory Trace, Desert Bloom, and Independence/Nakba—published collectively by Steidl in 2015 as The Erasure Trilogy. Together, through their juxtaposition of the photographic image and text, the three volumes trace the legacies of the Arab–Israeli War of 1948 and its lasting impact on the Palestinians, Bedouins, and Israelis of the region. While Desert Bloom, the work produced for This Place, has been exhibited in the traveling group exhibition that began in 2014, this spring marks the first simultaneous exhibition of all three elements.2 Collectively presented under the title Erasures, the trilogy internally opens up in a movement of dispersal across multiple institutions, each with differing remits, and with this distinct, albeit often overlapping, audiences: the Slought Foundation (Philadelphia), the Brooklyn Museum, the Pace/MacGill Gallery, and Storefront for Art and Architecture (all New York), the Al-Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art (East Jerusalem), and the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center (Ramallah).3 To mark the occasion of this ambitious curatorial gesture, the interview that follows has been published through the Slought Foundation, where Sheikh is currently artist-in-residence. This discussion, which took place in Zurich in the summer of 2014, was initially commissioned by the This Place project, and appeared in an abridged and edited form in the group exhibition catalogue, published by MACK.4 Here, Sheikh reflects upon his initial responses to the region, the genesis and challenges of each of the elements of the trilogy, as well as the relations between them and his hopes for their effectivity, and his mode of working more broadly. As such, together with the extensive documentation provided both within the Erasure Trilogy publications and across the venues, as well as a series of artist’s talks programed for this spring, the conversation lends further context to the multiplatformed curatorial event of Erasures, which takes as its point of departure the following works
