Long-run Determinants of Private Saving Behaviour in Pakistan
No full textCompared to the rapidly-growing economies of Southeast Asia, the growth performance of the Pakistan economy was significantly weaker during the 1970s and 1980s. While the Southeast Asian countries made substantial progress in improving living standards, the average standard of living, as measured by the GNP per capita, was virtually stagnant in Pakistan over this period. Much of the difference in economic performance between Pakistan and the Southeast Asian countries is often attributed to the low rates of saving and investment in Pakistan.1 Indeed, the differences in rates of domestic investment are often attributed to the differences in rates of domestic saving. Hence, the disparity in the growth performance between Pakistan and the Southeast Asian countries over the past two decades relates to the differences in saving rates, and an understanding of the fundamental determinants of saving in Pakistan assumes critical importance. This paper reviews trend developments in the private saving behaviour in Pakistan, and compares these trends with those seen in the Southeast Asian economies during the period since 1970. Using co-integration analysis, the long-run properties of Pakistan’s saving rate are examined, with a view to identifying the main determinants of saving. The principal finding is that about one-half of the trend increase in saving appears to be related to financial development and deepening. In contrast to the results obtained by Faruqee and Husain (1994) and Husain (1995) for the Southeast Asian countries, demographics appear not to have played an important role in determining saving behaviour in Pakistan, possibly because high rates of population growth during the past three decades resulted in a virtually unchanged demographic structure of the population.

The menu approach to developing country external debt : an analysis of commercial banks'choice behavior
No full textThis study provides evidence that bank characteristics are significant determinants of commercial-bank choice behavior when confronted with a menu of options. It develops a theoretical model of bank choice behavior and empirically tests its implications using data from the 1988 Brazilian financing package. The empirical results show that bank characteristics are capable of explaining over 80 percent of this choice. One of the main implications of the theoretical model is that under risk-neutrality assumption, financially stronger and more exposed banks prefer to exit. The findings have several important implications for the new debt reduction strategy. (i) First, larger debt reductions operated on a market basis are more costly, per unit of debt reduced. In order to increase debt reduction, weaker banks must be convinced to exit, increasing the needed exit price. (ii) Second, the exit price depends on the strength of the banking industry, and thus, the effectiveness of the present debt strategy is affected by changes in the world economy. In periods of booms, banks become stronger and exit prices are reduced. (iii) Third, regulators can affect the cost of debt reduction by altering the regulatory framework within which the banks operate. (iv) Fourth, LDC debt reductions are beneficial to the deposit insurance agencies of the major creditor nations.Financial Intermediation,Economic Theory&Research,Municipal Financial Management,Financial Crisis Management&Restructuring,Banks&Banking Reform
Peran Farid Husain dalam Perdamaian Aceh
No full textThis study concerns the process of resolving the Aceh’s conflict and the role of one of the leaders in Aceh\u27s peace, Farid Husain. The purpose of this study is to examine and to discuss the history of the resolution of the Aceh’s conflict, and the role of Farid Husain in Aceh peace In collecting the data, this study uses historical and descriptive analytical methods. The method of data collection is through three methods, namely observation, interview and documentation study. The results showed that during the conflict in Aceh, very much effort was made by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to resolve the Aceh’s conflict, starting from the reigns of President Soekarno, Suharto, BJ, Habibie, Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Soekarno Putri, to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono\u27s Government and Vice President M. Jusuf Kalla who became the solution to the peaceful conflict in Aceh through intensive direct dialogue between facilitated by the Crisis Management Initiative (CMI). Farid Husain was one of the people involved in the Aceh peace process who played a role in opening communication with GAM leaders and working behind the scenes to supply information about Aceh and GAM in the interests of the Indonesian peace team in resolving the Aceh conflict through peaceful means. The results of the study also found that the Aceh peace process was collectively carried out by various parties, not involving one actor, one of which was Farid Husain who played the role of To See The Actor, also involving various other figures including the Acehnese leaders themselves
Bangladesh’s Agricultural Growth and Development Over Fifty Years
No full textAgriculture is the primary economic sector of Bangladesh employed almost 60% of the labour force and contributed nearly 30% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2000 (Husain 2003). After 20 years, these stand now at 40% and 25%, respectively (PC 2020). In spite of a gradual increase in agricultural production, its relative share of the GDP has been declining, too, due to expansion of other areas of the economy. Nevertheless, the economic development of the country is intricately linked with the development of agriculture, which will remain, directly or indirectly, the key sector, at least for the next decade or two to come. Rice production, a staple food, for example, has been increasing sustainably over the last two decades. Rice crops have dominated the agriculture sector, as discussed in this chapter, over the last 50 years. In spite of natural, technological, and socio-economic constraints, Bangladeshi agriculture has been making good progress. The pace of progress has been quite impressive since the mid-1990s. In this development process, the farmers are playing a vital role. In both the crop and non-crop sub-sectors, they are showing a high degree of resilience and innovation. They have started responding to market forces and technological changes. They have also learnt to respond to natural calamities by shifting cropping patterns. A process of transformation has started away from purely subsistence agriculture to increasing diversification, leading to specialization.No Full Tex

Global trends in raw materials consumption
No full textThis paper reviews movements in raw materials consumption over the past 30 years. Included in this review are all base metals and steel, and important agricultural raw materials. These primary commodities share the common characteristic that they are used as inputs in manufacturing and construction. Some metals and minerals, energy commodities, and timber products are not included in this review for various reasons. The period reviewed is from 1961 to 1988. A prominent characteristic of the metals market during the past 15 years has been its very slow growth. In some years consumption of several raw materials has even declined. Explaining the causes of this slowdown, in the face of moderate economic growth, has become a topical issue. The slowdown has important implications for a number of developing countries that rely heavily on exports of these materials. The severity and persistence of post-1973 declines in metals intensity per unit of GNP, prompted the conjecture that it may have been structural. This paper reviews the debate on this issue, including results of statistical tests. It also summarizes the trends in raw materials consumption and reviews the technological developments relating to raw materials consumption.Mining&Extractive Industry (Non-Energy),Montreal Protocol,Sanitation and Sewerage,Primary Metals,Environmental Economics&Policies

Bharat Mata ki Jai: M. F. Husain, Hindutva, and the Contest for Modern India
No full textThis paper seeks to provide insight into the controversy over the nude paintings of Hindu goddesses by Indian Muslim artist Maqbool Fida Husain. I posit that Hindutva organizations\u27 fixated outrage arises largely from the preestablished context of gendered nationalism within the Hindutva camp. In Hindutva ideology, the proper Hindu male, and proper Indian citizen, is characterized by an aggressive defense of women\u27s bodies, both human and divine. The existing stereotypes of Muslim males as violent and lustful primed the Hindutva community to interpret Husain\u27s nude portraits of the goddesses Durga and Saraswati, as well as Bharat Mata, as sexual violence rendered unto the goddesses. Combined with his Muslim identity, Husain\u27s position as an outspoken advocate of secularism and ally of the modern Indian government made him a logical target of attack, as Husain\u27s works self-consciously propounded an India defined by religious inclusivity—the very notion Hindutva seeks to replace. As such, Husain embodied not only the persona of the threatening Muslim Other, but also a tangible political threat. The paintings of Durga, Saraswati, and Bharat Mata, thus, become the ground upon which this conflict over the shape of the nation occurs. It is essential to note further, however, that the critique of Husain has not been limited solely to those in Hindutva organizations. Members of the broader public, indeed, have voiced reactions ranging from support to condemnation, and a great many reactions are characterized by ambivalence. I close here arguing that the ubiquity of calendar art profoundly shapes the expectations of the Indian public concerning appropriate portrayals of the goddess, and that the style of art first promoted by Raja Ravi Varma offered a readily available counterpoint which could be marshaled by Hindutva advocates to condemn Husain\u27s works as deviant, the language of modernism read as violence.
