IMPLICATIONS OF SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN MYANMAR ( Phoo Pwint Phyu, 2019)
Get PDFThis study aims to achieve the implications of savings and investment on economic growth in Myanmar. The study attempts to identify the long run relationship of saving and investment on economic growth and investigate the direction of causality from savings and investment to economic growth in Myanmar. The study uses annual time series data from 1989 to 2017 by conducting Johansen co-integration test to find out the long run effect of saving and investment on economic growth in Myanmar. Vector Autoregression (VAR), Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and Granger causality test are applied to meet the purpose of the study. According to short run Vector Auto-regression (VAR) results, domestic savings has positive effect on economic growth for all lag 3 years but the coefficients are not significant. Foreign direct investment has alternate sign depending upon lag period but not statistically significant. The study found out that there is long run relationship between savings and foreign direct investment on economic growth in Myanmar using Johansen co-integration test and long run VECM model. The study proved gross domestic savings and foreign direct investment have positive effect on economic growth in the long run. However, the coefficient for domestic savings is not statistically significant while the coefficient for foreign direct investment is significant. Granger Causality Test shows that there is unidirectional causality from gross domestic savings to economic growth and but not from economic growth to gross domestic savings. Foreign direct investment does not granger cause economic growth in Myanmar. But, economic growth does granger cause foreign direct investment in Myanmar. The study also found out that government expenditure and export have bidirectional causality on economic growth in Myanmar. Therefore, this study would recommend that more savings through formal financial institutions should be encouraged since most of Myanmar people less save at formal institutions. And, more foreign direct investment ought to be attracted for economic growth in Myanmar

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
