Impacts Of Social Upbringing On Family Integration In Military Life In Sudan, Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed

Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed

In a country on the eve of losing one third of its land, 80% of potential natural resources and 75% of external exports value, economic future seems gloomy. Many opinions were given for economic solutions after the Southern Sudan secession. However, that does not support a theoretical framework that those are the only reasons for the expected economic collapse. Our theory here is that such collapse already happened because of economic mismanagement, corruption and hoarding initiated by the calls for empowerment and carried out by the regime's members. Such acts extended to the banks, economic institutions and randomized privatization. The …

Impacts Of Formal Financing On The Development Of The Sudanese Agricultural Sector, Issam A.W. Mohamed Professor

Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed

The agricultural sector of Sudan is faced by many problems. In the irrigated schemes, the government who officially owns most of them there are entrenched managerial problems that brewed for more than six decades. Moreover, the privatization policies of those schemes provoked many outcries and protests. Large schemes like Gezira have collapsed, this year 2011, only 10% of its over one million hectares were cultivated. The rainfed farming is not different with lack of machineries, shortages of available labor and high priced agricultural inputs, it is not expected to fare better than the irrigated schemes. However, even if those problems …

Impacts Of Sudan Macroeconomic Policy On Agriculture, Issam A.W. Mohamed Professor

Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed

The crisis of Southern Sudan and eminent secession in 9 July 2011 is a nightmare to the Sudanese national economy. The dependence on oil revenue that controlled the country for the past 11 years and negligence of the other real economy's economic sectors, agriculture and industry severely threatens the country. That is not only with diminished returns but with also with economic nightmarish economic catastrophe, famine and internal implosion. Short-sightedness on utilizing the oil money that bubbled the economy atrophied the real economic sectors and disabled it from responding to secession consequences of parting with 75% of revenues from oil …

Effects Of Social Edification And Family Integration In Military Life In Sudan, Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed

Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed

The Sudanese army human components are unique in its composition. That is reflected in the country's political and social life. The independence of 1956 means fifty five of turmoil and turbulences. Democratically elected governments controlled the country for only ten years while the military institution's coup de etats took the rest. This paper studies the impacts of social upbringing on the families, military or civilians in order too shed lights on why all military, seemingly are possessed by the illusion of grasping power. The military seems built into the Sudanese society in superior form, i.e., above the law. Thus if …

Effects Of Multicollinearity On The Estimation Of Macroeconomic Variables: Using Data From Sudan, Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed

Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed

The problem of multicollinearity in the assessments of coefficients is well established. However, it is rarely researched in the estimations of macroeconomic variables and economic performance of developing countries. Predicatively, it has impacts on the estimations of coefficients that should be used in economic decisions, strategic planning and if researchers are more industrious estimations of monetary supplies and demands. All such parameters are very basic and essential in economic plannings and their applications should be done not only in research but in ground applications of the specialized authorities, e.g., Ministries of Finance, Central Banks, Pricing Units, etc. However, that is …

Corrupção E Judiciário: A (In)Eficácia Do Sistema Judicial No Combate À Corrupção, Ivo T. Gico Jr., Carlos H. R. De Alencar

Ivo Teixeira Gico Jr.

HÁ UMA PERCEPÇÃO GENERALIZADA NO BRASIL DE QUE FUNCIONÁRIOS PÚBLICOS CORRUPTOS NÃO SÃO PUNIDOS. NÃO OBSTANTE, ATÉ O MOMENTO, NÃO HÁ EVIDÊNCIAS EMPÍRICAS QUE APÓIEM ESSA AFIRMAÇÃO E MUITOS ARGUMENTAM QUE SE TRATA DE UMA PERCEPÇÃO EQUIVOCADA DECORRENTE DO AUMENTO DE MEDIDAS ANTICORRUPÇÃO. UMA DAS PRINCIPAIS RAZÕES PARA ESSA NOTÁVEL AUSÊNCIA É A GRANDE DIFICULDADE DE SE IDENTIFICAR CASOS COMPROVADOS DE CORRUPÇÃO PARA, ENTÃO, SE AVERIGUAR SE ELES FORAM OU NÃO PUNIDOS PELO SISTEMA JUDICIAL. ESTE ARTIGO USA O SISTEMA BRASILEIRO DE RESPONSABILIDADE TRÍPLICE COMO UM EXPERIMENTO NATURAL PARA MEDIR O DESEMPENHO DO SISTEMA JUDICIAL CONTRA CORRUPÇÃO. NOSSOS RESULTADOS MOSTRAM …

Estancamiento Económico En México, Manufacturas Y Rendimientos Crecientes: Un Enfoque Kaldoriano, Isaac Leobardo Sánchez Juárez

Isaac Sánchez-Juárez

En este artículo se investiga a nivel macroeconómico y regional la naturaleza y condiciones del estancamiento económico existente en México desde 1982, con especial énfasis en el periodo 1993-2010. Utilizando la teoría kaldoriana como marco de referencia, se supone que las manufacturas representan el motor del crecimiento económico. Los resultados econométricos permiten confirmar la hipótesis. De esta forma, la insuficiencia dinámica del sector manufacturero es la causa principal detrás de las bajas tasas de crecimiento económico y empleo en México. En base a los hallazgos, el artículo sugiere diseñar una nueva política industrial para la competitividad, cuyo objetivo básico sea …

La Industria Automotríz Y El Fomento A Las Cadenas Productivas En Sonora: El Caso De La Ford En Hermosillo, Isaac Leobardo Sánchez Juárez, Fabiola Galicia

Isaac Sánchez-Juárez

La formación de cadenas productivas es una condición indispensable para el desarrollo económico local bajo el nuevo escenario que genera un entorno globalmente competitivo. En el caso de Sonora, desde la instalación de la planta de estampado y ensamble de la Ford Motor Company en Hermosillo en 1986, las empresas locales no han podido integrarse plenamente a los procesos productivos de la planta. Este fracaso tiene su principal origen en la inadecuada política industrial aplicada por parte de los organismos gubernamentales y privados, aunado a la falta de una cultura emprendedora que asuma mayores riesgos. En el artículo se presenta …

Una Interpretación Sectorial-Estructural Del Bajo Crecimiento En México, Isaac Leobardo Sánchez Juárez, Cuauhtémoc Calderón

Isaac Sánchez-Juárez

Desde 1982 la economía mexicana se ha caracterizado por la presencia de bajas tasas de crecimiento económico, lo que ha deteriorado los niveles de bienestar. Siguiendo la concepción kaldoriana del desarrollo, se supone que el proceso de estancamiento que sufre el país, especialmente en los últimos años, se explica por la falta de dinamismo del sector manufacturero nacional. En este artículo se exhibe el proceso de estancamiento económico y se demuestra su correlación estadística, por medio de un test de causalidad de Granger, con la insuficiencia dinámica manufacturera. Lo que sugiere corregir la actual política económica y aplicar una nueva …

Does Financial Development Reduce Corruption?, John Thornton, Yener Altunbas

John Thornton

We estimate the impact of bank credit to the private sector on corruption using indicators of a country’s legal origin as instrumental variables to assess causality. We find that bank credit to the private sector reduces corruption, with the result robust to instrumenting for bank credit and for many different controls.

Post-Crisis Financial Reform: Where Do We Stand?, John Thornton, Alessandro Giustiniani

John Thornton

The financial reform agenda is broad, ranging from strengthening prudential regulation; to enhancing supervision; from mitigating pro-cyclicality to integrating micro- and macro-prudential oversight; from reducing the systemic risk associated with large and complex financial institutions to expanding resolution process and fortifying financial market structure. Reforms are proceeding slowly but important building blocks have been laid down, such as Basel III; other difficult reforms are in the making, such as the resolution framework for cross-border financial institutions or how to deal with systemically important financial institutions. This paper presents an analytical survey of recent developments.

The Intertemporal Relation Between Government Revenue And Expenditure In The United Kingdom, 1750 To 2004, John Thornton, Lusine Lusinyan

John Thornton

We examine the intertemporal relation between government revenue and expenditure in the UK during 1750 to 2004. We pay particular attention to long run trends by applying a battery of unit root and cointegration techniques to the data, and we use a modified Granger causality test on data spans organized around structural breaks in the series. The results suggest that, allowing for structural breaks, UK real revenue and spending are I(1) series and cointegrated and that Granger causality runs from government spending to revenue. As such, the ‘spend-tax’ hypothesis appears to best characterize the long run intertemporal relation between government …

Determination Of Import Demand In Pakistan: The Role Of Expenditure Components, Muhammad Irfan Chani, Zahid Pervaiz, Amatul R. Chaudhary

Muhammad Irfan Chani

The paper uses imperfect substitution approach to derive the aggregate import demand function on the basis of disaggregated expenditure components. This derived import demand function is then empirically tested for Pakistan by using co-integration and error correction mechanism. The empirical results show that elasticity of import demand with respect to different macro components of final expenditure is different. The import demand in Pakistan is affected positively and significantly by all expenditure components. The relative prices have negative but insignificant relationship with import demand in Pakistan. The findings indicate that use of aggregate expenditure variable in the aggregate import demand function …
