    The menu approach to developing country external debt : an analysis of commercial banks'choice behavior

    No full text
    This 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

Hasil penilitian ini memberikan kesimpulan bahwa Ahmad bin Husain dan Yusuf Al-Qaradawi memiliki pandangan yang cukup berbeda mengenai hukum waris beda agama. Karena cara mereka menafsirkan hadis Nabi tentang larangan saling mewarisi antara orang Islam dengan orang non Islam, Ketentuan hukum waris beda agama menurut Ahmad bin Husain adalah melarang orang muslim untuk mewarisi harta dari orang non-muslim dan orang non-muslim mewarisi harta orang muslim secara mutlak dengan alasan apapun, karena untuk melindungi perwalian agar tidak terputus antara umat Islam dan non-Islam. Sedangkan ketentuan hukum waris beda agama menurut Yusuf Al-Qaradawi yaitu, membolehkan orang Islam mewarisi harta dari orang kafir żimmī bukan untuk kafir ḥarbī, karena menjaga hubungan keluarga dan kemaslahatan umat. Sejalan dengan kesimpulan di atas, penulis berharap bisa memberikan pengetahuan kepada pembaca tentang waris beda agama.

Penulis berharap kepada tokoh agama yang ada di masyarakat diharapkan bisa lebih moderat untuk menentukan kemaslahatan umat. Kata Kunci : Hukum Waris Beda Agama. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the Inheritance of Different Religions in the Views of Ahmad bin Husain and Yusuf Al-Qaradawi. This thesis aims to answer the problems raised from the problem formulation, including: What are the legal provisions for inheritance of different religions according to the opinion of Ahmad bin Husain and Yusuf Al-Qaradawi? What is the istinbath method regarding inheritance laws of different religions according to Ahmad bin Husain and Yusuf Al Qaradawi? This type of research is library research which uses library materials related to research problems or materials. After data collection, analysis was carried out using the analytical description method. A comparative approach is made by carefully examining data regarding inheritance laws of different religions according to the opinions of Ahmad bin Husain and Yusuf Al-Qaradawi and then analyzing it systematically so that a conclusion can be drawn. The results of this research conclude that Ahmad bin Husain and Yusuf Al-Qaradawi have quite different views regarding the inheritance laws of different religions. Because of the way they interpret the Prophet's hadith regarding the prohibition of mutual inheritance between Muslims and non-Muslims, according to Ahmad bin Husain, the legal provisions for inheritance of different religions prohibit Muslims from inheriting property from non-Muslims and non-Muslims inheriting property from Muslims absolutely. for any reason, because it is to protect guardianship so that it is not disconnected between Muslims and non-Muslims. Meanwhile, according to Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, according to Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, the provisions of the inheritance laws of different religions allow Muslims to inherit property from non-Muslim infidels, not for ḥarbī infidels, because it maintains family relationships and the benefit of the people. In line with the conclusion above, the author hopes to provide knowledge to readers about inheritance from different religions. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi's opinion can be applied in Indonesia because Indonesia itself has various religions apart from Islam. As a society that has various religions, it would be better to consider inheritance from different religions in the views of Ahmad bin Husain and Yusuf Al-Qaradawi. The author hopes that religious figures in society can be more moderate in determining the benefit of the people. Keywords: Inheritance Laws of Different Religions

    Global trends in raw materials consumption

    This 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

    Manhaj Tafsir Al-Mizan Fi Tafsir al-Quran karya Muhammad Husain Thabathaba’i

    No full text
    The affirmative era is a continuation of the formative era. This era occurred in the Middle Ages, when the tradition of interpreting the Qur\u27an already had many specific and varied features. This era is also judged to be based on ideological reasoning. Tafsir al-Mizan is included in the category of interpretation in the affirmative era because some of its interpretations are based on the ideological rationale of the exegete, namely Muhammad Husain Tabataba\u27i. This study aims to describe the manhaj used in Tafsir Al-Mizan Fi Tafsir al-Quran by Muhammad Husain Tabataba\u27i in studying a verse of the Koran. The methods used in this research are the library research method and descriptive analysis. The results from this research are: Tafsir al-Mizan is a phenomenal work by Muhammad Husain Tabataba\u27i. His work is inseparable from the author\u27s thoughts, who has a philosophical background in thinking. Even so, the interpretation uses the uslub of the Qur\u27an, bil Qur\u27an, and also contains many other commentators\u27 opinions. So the interpretation is called a "very complete interpretation" because it contains many fields of knowledge. The special manhaj or method of writing the interpretation of al-Mizan, namely interpreting the book in sequential order, explains the purpose of the interpreted surah or verse, cites the opinions of the reviewers of the Qur\u27an and also presents his view, has its section on the discussion of history, specializes in the discussion of philosophical aspects, and provides general conclusions from the verse or letter being studied

    Human Capital and Economic Growth in Pakistan

    No full text
    Pakistan’s economy has grown faster on average than many other low- and middleincome countries over the past two decades. But several countries in Southeast Asia have fared even better. This paper focuses on factors that explain Pakistan’s relative growth performance. In addition to more traditional factors believed to determine growth, this paper looks particularly at the role of differences in the quality of human capital. The cross-country empirical results suggest that accumulation of physical capital and improvements in the quality of institutions have the largest pay-offs in terms of achieving higher growth, but that better education and health care also have a significant impact. Investment in these areas will increase the possibility of Pakistan entering a virtuous cycle of high growth and improved living conditions for the population.
