Financial Instability: Is Regionalism The Answer?, Marco Vasconi
Financial Instability: Is Regionalism The Answer?, Marco Vasconi
Archived Theses and Dissertations
Since the end of World War II there has been a nearly universal trend toward regionalism, best represented by the European case and the rise of more than one hundred other regional agreements. This tendency, however, has experienced a particularly steep increase since the 1980s due to significant political and economic developments. The rise of economic and more importantly financial globalization fostered by impressive technological progress is regarded as one of the key factors in bringing about this new wave of regionalism, as it has raised a number of questions regarding governance, negative effects of financial instability and possible responses …

Islamic Finance : A Study Of Malaysian Banks From 1999-2005, Tamer Elgindi
Archived Theses and Dissertations
Islamic finance has been developing rapidly in the last forty years with Islamic financial institutions expanding at enormous rates all over the world. Islamic finance offers both an equity based system dependent on profit-and-loss sharing modes along with other debt-based instruments that facilitate trade. Comparison between the performance of Islamic banks and conventional banks has been under study for several years with some studies suggesting that Islamic banks were able to outperform conventional banks in certain areas, other studies suggest the opposite. This study focuses on eight banks in Malaysia that are incorporated under the Islamic Banking Scheme and offer …

The Tying Of Aid To Developing Countries With A Special Reference To Egypt, Marwa Taha El Arif
Archived Theses and Dissertations
This thesis provides an overview on the phenomenon of aid typing, with a special focus on Egyptian case. The study deals with bilateral aid flows of OECD countries, which present over 80% of OSA, as aid tying practices and motives, are more obvious in the case of bilateral aid.
The case study on Egypt provides a summary on aid trend and value. The main conclusions of the thesis are that although it is hard to qualify the exact cost or loss for tying of aid, it is obvious that tying has decreased aid effectiveness in many ways.
Banking Stability And Optimal Deposit Insurance Design, Yasmine Hamdi Moukhtar
Banking Stability And Optimal Deposit Insurance Design, Yasmine Hamdi Moukhtar
Archived Theses and Dissertations
This thesis focuses on deposit insurance schemes and their relationship to banking crisis. The empirical model used covers 55 developed and developing countries over the period 1970-1989. This study finds that banking crises are closely linked to adverse macroeconomics shocks like economic recessions, financial liberalization, capital account liberalization and short term capital flows, and currency depreciation. External vulnerability (expressed as the ratio of M2 to foreign reserve) is also found to be a key variable. The empirical results also show that deposit insurance increases the probability of banking crises, due to induced moral hazard and adverse selection.

Microeconomics Of Brand Loyalty: Learning, Switching, And Uncertainty, Ronia Ahmed Moustafa Hawash
Archived Theses and Dissertations
In a world of competition, loyalty to a particular brand has a significant role in the behaviour of economic agents and the outcome of markets. The objective of this thesis is to examine the microeconomics of brand loyalty from three dimensions: consumer learning by using markets with switching costs, and uncertainty in product quality. The various methodologies used are based on extensions, modeling, and integrative analysis of some works in the literature, most notably those of Klemperer, Pepall, Thisse, Gabszewicz, Schwartz and Wilde, and Tirole. Brand loyalty arising from the above mentioned perspectives is tackled via three models. The first …

Privatization Slow-Down: Government Reluctance Or Economic Failure?, Sara Alam El-Din
Archived Theses and Dissertations
This research is trying to disclose the reasons behind the slow down of the privatization program in Egypt. It does so by assessing the government's policy with regard to privatization by reference to secondary material and two case studies: the banking and the maritime sectors. These two case studies were carefully chosen in order to highlight particular issues related to the slow down of the process of privatization and the government's policies. The banking sector, for example, is one of the sectors that the government seems reluctant to privatize and only last January did the government announce the willingness to …

Do Remittances Change Household Spending?, Dalia Hammam El Sherbiny
Archived Theses and Dissertations
The impact of remittances on household spending has been a debatable issue. A I arge body of literature has been concerned about remittances in Egypt as well as other developing countries. However, there are conflicting views regarding the way remittances are circulated. Some believe that remittances negatively the economy of the recipient country by increasing personal consumption. On the other hand, others supported that remittances enhance productive asset accumulations and increased savings and investments. This thesis uses 1997 Egypt Integrated Household Survey (EIHS) to empirically assess whether remittances change household spending. For understanding of the way remittances affect spending decision, …
