“…Since the nineteenth century, there are applications to social, geographical and economic interactions, being more or less close to the original Newton's proposal. The Reilly's Law of Gravitational Retail, for instance, is recently used also for migration flows as in Guha et al [11] (2023). In other applications, Zakharchenko and Oneshko.…”

The present paper proposes new indicators that explain the pricing of the unitary pure interest rates and interests by adapting previous Reilly’s Law (RL) models of urban economics and regional economics and Financial Gravity (FG) models for financial services. A panel dataset of 114 countries for 1967-2021 is handled, applying the OLS methodology. The results show the higher explanatory power of the adaptation of the FG models rather than the proposed adaptation of the RL ones. Purpose: This paper tries to adapt previous Gravity Equations from Urban Economics to Finance and empirically checks whether they behave better than the recently found Financial Gravity (FG) models. For that, new indicators are provided jointly with their adaptations to Ordinary Least Square (OLS) methods. Additionally, an economic perspective of the bid-asks of financial products is provided. Design/methodology/approach: OLS methods are used to check the desirability and accuracy of the new indicators. A panel dataset of 114 countries for 1967-2021 is handled, applying the OLS methodology. Findings: The most adequate are the FG models after the empirical check, providing the desirable properties of those models. The results show the higher explanatory power of the adaptation of the FG models rather than the proposed adaptation of the RL ones. Originality: This is the first paper, to the author’s knowledge, on providing an adaptation of Reilly’s Law from urban economics models to finance, also providing empirical evidence after adapting these models to linear expressions for applying OLS methods. We also provide evidence on the statistical equality between the unitary pure interest of loan and deposit interests, confirming the good properties of the FG models.

This study investigates the underlying factors driving rural-to-urban migration among street children in Dhaka, Bangladesh, within the framework of globalization. Drawing on the conceptual lenses of Bauman, Standing, and Galtung, this research examines the complexities and interconnections influencing the movement of vulnerable children to urban areas. Employing qualitative methodologies, including informal and in-depth interviews, and, focus group discussions, this study uncovers the multifaceted challenges faced by street children, including food insecurity, inadequate shelter, restricted access to education and healthcare, and compromised health conditions. The findings underscore the significance of family conflicts, economic instability, political influences, and environmental adversities as primary drivers pushing children from rural origins to the streets. Moreover, the study highlights the severe vulnerabilities experienced by street children, manifesting in their limited access to fundamental rights and basic services. The scarcity of suitable resources and social support contributes to their marginalized status, leaving them exposed to exploitation and societal neglect. As a critical outcome, this research underscores the pressing need for comprehensive interventions that address the root causes of rural-to-urban migration and safeguard the well-being and rights of street children. Given its focused analysis of Dhaka, this study offers unique insights into the specific challenges faced by street children within this urban setting.
