Abstract

This paper assesses the multiplier effects of public expenditures on economic growth in Nepal, covering time series data sets of public expenditures and economic growth from 1974-75 to 2018-19 by using the SVAR model. As a result of the SVAR model, the multiplier effect of public expenditure, recurrent expenditure, and capital expenditure is positive for economic growth. In a result, the multiplier effect of recurrent expenditure is found to be more promising than capital expenditure for economic growth in the short run, but in the long run, it is lower. Similarly, the multiplier coefficient value of capital expenditure is lower in the short run. This is probably due to leakages in the economy, corruption and improper management of development funds, seasonal expenditure trends, and poor management of development projects. Therefore, the government should improve the efficiency of public expenditure and the ratio of capital expenditure and private investment to improve the higher multiplier variable in the long run.

Abstract

This study studies empirically whether REDD is a better alternative to community forest of Nepal. The data set of the study is primary nature in which the primary data sets were collected from the household survey in the Kafle community forest of Lamatar-6, Lalitpur District, Nepal. The study has employed descriptive statistics and probit models to analyze the data sets. The study found 45 percent households depend on the community forest for livelihood materials (firewood, leaf litter, grass, water), along with Service and Agriculture income sources. As a result of binary choice, the study in mixed familiarity with REDD finds only 44 percent of households expect that REDD will be a better livelihood alternative to the poor. Further, 63 percent of households expect livelihood from REDD. Large household respondents don’t believe that REDD will be a better alternative livelihood for the poor. Almost all households expect REDD for livelihood objectives. From estimation, household stakeholders who have good asset holdings (land and livestock) think that REDD will be not a better livelihood alternative to the poor. However, the household stakeholders who have literacy, different food sufficiency level, landholding (1>), different earnings per day, Rsex, per day earning, and age thinks that REDD will be a better alternative. Thus, the poor households expect a livelihood role from REDD in Nepal. Therefore, REDD should be more beneficial to the poor household stakeholders and their livelihoods.

Abstract

Deforestation is a serious environmental problem in the OIC countries. From 1990 to 2016 based on 2019 OIC Environment Report data, compared to other groups outside the OIC, the OIC deforestation rate reached >10% on average, which was much higher. The focus of this study examines the effect of economic growth, agricultural land, and trade openness moderated by population density on deforestation. This study uses a quantitative approach and a Moderated Regression Analysis technique with a sample of 15 OIC countries from 2010-2019 taken from the purposive sampling method. The test results clarify that economic growth and agricultural land have a significant effect on the rate of deforestation, while the effect of trade openness is not significant on the rate of deforestation. From the results of the moderating variable, only agricultural land which has a significant effect on deforestation is moderated by population density. These results confirm Kuznets' environmental theory and environmental externality theory, and can be used as material for the government's evaluation to reduce deforestation rates and maintain forest sustainability according to SDG's No.15 agenda by considering demographic aspects such as population density. This study is limited to the 15 OIC countries that are the research sample due to their high forest fluctuations. s evaluation to reduce deforestation rates and maintain forest sustainability according to SDG's No.15 agenda by considering demographic aspects such as population density.

Abstract

In the post-pandemic and disruption period, a company's talented human capital must be able to give competitiveness and agility. Considering the talent's expectations, businesses should provide an appealing employment environment. Using the SEM technique, the study analyses data on the intention to apply among 350 Indonesian nearly-graduated college students and implicitly validated the Gen Z work expectation scale empirically. The findings show that Generation Z's work expectations substantially impact their willingness to apply for jobs. When choosing a career, the top three considerations for respondents are health insurance, a coaching manager, and work security. Messages in job adverts should most likely appear on the company's social media account, emphasizing more psychological aspects that appeal to Generation Z's expectations, notably work benefits. Rather than having a moderating influence, social media direct connection strongly predicts job application intent.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to see how company size, earnings per share, profitability, financial leverage, and underwriter reputation affect underpricing during the initial public offering of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This study's object was selected utilizing a purposive sample approach with numerous provisions. Non-banking firms that conducted initial public offerings (IPOs) on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2015 and 2019 were researched. Ninety-eight non-banking firms were collected as study samples from a total of 141. This is due to the fact that there are six banking businesses, sixty-two companies do not meet the requirements for inclusion in this study data, and thirteen companies do not exhibit underpricing. Two firms were relisted and delisted. Based on the findings of data analysis research, low earnings per share will also make investors not interested in buying shares of the company. So the company's level of uncertainty will increase. Underwriters also know more and more complete information about the market so that issuers are needed to determine primary market prices and investors to consider investing in the capital market. Meanwhile, the level of underpricing cannot be measured by the level of ROA generated by a company and the distrust of investors towards the financial statements produced by companies that conduct IPOs. DER cannot be used as a benchmark in considering the initial return expected by investors based on the findings of data analysis research. the author assumes investors' incompetence in analyzing a company's performance and relies solely on the stock price offered. The phenomenon of stock price underpricing caused by limited information about companies conducting initial public offerings (IPOs) motivates the authors to conduct this research to determine whether the information available in financial statements and information surrounding investors can be used as benchmarks in determining investment decisions. and calculate a stock's initial rate of return.
