Islamic finance is growing rapidly not only in Islamic world but also around the globe. Foreseeing the popularity of Islamic finance, the current study intends to explore the relationship between Islamic financing and economic growth. To entertain the objectives, the study used data of United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, and Indonesia for the years 1980-2018. The ARDL approach to co-integration was used in order to obtain the empirical results for exploring the relationship between the Industrial Production Index, Islamic banks deposits, Islamic bank financing, gross fixed Capital formation, trade openness, government expenditures, and inflation. Industrial production index is taken as a proxy of growth that represents real sector growth. Study findings illustrated a strong positive relationship between industrial production indices, Islamic bank deposits & financing, gross fixed capital formation and negative significant relation with trade openness in the study period. Whereas, government expenditure has insignificant relation and inflation has shown negative relation. It is recommended that Islamic banks should design their deposit instruments in terms of long-run. The Islamic banks may follow the path of conventional banking in this regard. Deposit’s negotiable certificates should be issued similar to the conventional banks.
To foresee hidden regimes inside the data, Hidden Markov Model is widely used. Many researchers had used various data mining methods to predict stock market prices. This research will describe usage of Hidden Markov Model (HMM) via MATLAB to forecast stock prices for stock’ selection and portfolios development. In this study listed companies of PSX (Pakistan Stock Exchange) are explored specifically KSE-100 Index companies. From January 2012 to June 2022 monthly closing stock prices are used in this study. Many studies based on the historical data have been conducted in developed markets, but we managed the contextual study of the Pakistan Stock Exchange to recognize the stream and variations happening for individual stocks in stock market of Pakistan. Outcomes of the research suggested a strong relationship between stock prices as projected by the Model.
The textile business in Pakistan has built exceptional development over the years witnessed by exports of US$21 billion for FY22. Pakistan is the 8th major exporter of textile goods in Asia. The study tried to determine the relationship between the financial leverage and liquidity ratio with the profitability of the textile industry. A sample of 75 listed textile companies was taken for the duration of 2016 to 2020. Panel data analysis was carried out through fixed and random effect models after selection through different methods. The Panel regression showed that there exists a positive significant relationship between liquidity and return on assets. This implies that working capital requirements and liquidity issues fittingly can get significant yields on applied resources and return on assets. Findings also suggest that the asset turnover ratio has a significant relationship with return on equity. Leverage also has a significant relationship with return on equity but the relationship is inverse. This implies that the companies with higher obligations and influence have greater exposure to risk and are not fit to generate good returns.
Anthropogenic actionsamplify the greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere since the 19th century which lead to noticeable variation in climate that has a significant influence on different regions across the globe. World-wildly, Pakistan is participatinginsignificantly in greenhouse gas emissions but facing significant effects on several segments of the economy. The green revolution boosts agriculture production and a significant increase in productivity against to before it. The agriculture sector is considered to be lifeline of Pakistan's economy it contributes significantly to the gross domestic product, gives employment opportunitiesto huge number of the working population and provides raw materials to other sectors. A drastic increase in population had led to rising demand for agricultural products in Pakistan and it highlights the importance of agriculture sector in Pakistan. Several current studies had concentrated on greenhouse gas emissions in the agriculture sector in Pakistan but ignored the green revolution aspect. It is a pioneer study which has a central aim to explore the influence of greenhouse gases emission and the green revolution on agriculture production with the help of Cobb Douglas Production Function (CDPF). The current study uses the four decades’time seriesdata usingAuto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach with the help of Bound Test run to observe the long and short-run impact of greenhouse gas emissions and green revolution on agriculture sector in Pakistan. Findings revealed that greenhouse gas emissions have a negative while the green revolution has a positive influence on agriculture production in the long and short run. These results have some policy implication,government should spend more budget on research and development related to the agriculture sector and levy high taxes on those sectors which are emitting greenhouse gases and these policies can dramatically boost agriculture production which will boost Pakistan's economy.
