Corruption And Education: A Cross-Analysis Using Panel Data, Abdul Salam Lodhi, Adnan Nazir, Muhammad Toseef
CBER Conference
Education is the foundational pillar of every country to find pathways of prosperity, present and future. The question that academicians and legislators are trying to answer circles around whether education planting is corruption or not. On the one hand, a first strand of studies supports the role of education in negatively affecting corruption via, inter alia, channels of legal behavior, social responsibility, improved social cohesion and creation of a shackled society (Asongu & Nwachukwu, 2015; Uslaner & Rothstein 2016, Merloni 2018,; Beets, 2005; Oreopoulos and Salvanes, 2009; Acemoglu and Robinsen 2020). On the other hand, a second stream of studies …
Gender Segregation In Caring Labor: The Impact Of Social Norms On Career Choices, Evelyn Xinhui Cheng
Gender Segregation In Caring Labor: The Impact Of Social Norms On Career Choices, Evelyn Xinhui Cheng
CBER Conference
Women engage in work stereotypically seen as "women's work," or work based on the perceived "natural" female tendency towards caring and relational thinking (Tung 2000). In pre-reform China, Shu (2005) found that women were more concentrated in the lowerpaying collective sector compared to men in the state-owned sector, contributing to the gender wage gap. China's horizontal occupational segregation by gender has significant implications for gender pay gaps, workforce attachment, and the perceived value of caring labor in society. Feminist scholars argue that gendered norms around caring originate that conflate womanhood with nurturing (England 2005; Litt & Zimmerman 2003). The main …
An Empirical Assessment Of The Determinants Of Radicalization: Evidence From North-Western Pakistan, Fahim Nawaz
An Empirical Assessment Of The Determinants Of Radicalization: Evidence From North-Western Pakistan, Fahim Nawaz
CBER Conference
Radicalization is a formidable challenge to the security of several nations. While radicalization continues to grow, empirical evidence on its determinants remains scant. Drawing on the surge in radicalization in Pakistan, this study jointly tests a set of salient micro, macro, and meso factors to identify the influential determinants of radicalization. This is accomplished using survey data collected in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. The study constructs a multi-dimensional index of radicalization, taking into account the support for militant groups, violent behavioral intentions, and the endorsement of persecution/violence against Ahmadis and the alleged blasphemers of Islam. Results show that …

Impact Of Pathogenic E. Coli In Drinking Water On The Well-Being Of Children, Aysha Khatoon
CBER Conference
Despite global advancements, unsafe drinking water is a major cause of illness, ranked as the eighth highest worldwide (Forouzanfar et al., 2015). Studies indicate that even improved water sources, can harbour faecal contamination (Shaheed et al., 2014; Bain et al., 2014b). Globally, 1.8 billion people rely on drinking water contaminated with faecal matter (Bain et al., 2014a), with pathogenic E. coli being a primary concern. In Pakistan, the situation is dire. About 25 million people, particularly children, suffer due to open defecation, leading to 53,000 child deaths annually from diarrhoea (UNICEF, 2021). Pathogenic E. coli is a significant contributor to …

Analyzing Food Security Trends Amidst Environmental Challenges: A Convergence Perspective, Faisal Azeem Abbassi, Muhammad Jamil
Analyzing Food Security Trends Amidst Environmental Challenges: A Convergence Perspective, Faisal Azeem Abbassi, Muhammad Jamil
CBER Conference
This study aims to test the existence of convergence in global food security from 2012 to 2022. It contributes to the existing literature by connecting two empirical findings: first, income per capita is a significant determinant of countries’ state of food security, and second, the neoclassical growth model predicts income per capita to converge over time. These findings suggest the possibility of convergence in global food security. This study employs Phillips and Sul’s (2007) club convergence methodology on the Global Food Security Index (GFSI) 2022 model, developed by Economist Impact for 113 countries. Results indicate an absence of global convergence …

Role Of Greenfield Investment, Institutional Quality, And Economic Activities On Environmental Performance In Belt & Road Initiative Countries, Jamal Hussain, Sajid Hassan
CBER Conference
Researchers have produced varying conclusions on the matter of coexistence of economic activities with the protection or improvement of environmental performance. This study investigates the association between greenfield investments, economic activity, institutional quality, and environmental performance in Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) countries from 2003 to 2022. Yale University's Environmental Performance Index (EPI) assesses environmental performance. Advanced second-generation econometrics estimation approaches address concerns like cross-sectional dependence, potential endogeneity, and heterogeneity. Further analysis is employed across four income-level sub-panels: lowincome (LI), lower-middle-income (LMI), upper-middle-income (UMI), and high-income (HI) countries, covering the years 2003 to 2021 to validate reliability and consistency.

Assessing Pakistan’S Textile Exports Under Trade Agreements, Amjad Masood, Junaid Ahmed, Khuda Bakhsh
Assessing Pakistan’S Textile Exports Under Trade Agreements, Amjad Masood, Junaid Ahmed, Khuda Bakhsh
CBER Conference
Textiles serve as the export engine of Pakistan’s economy, constituting 60 percent of its total exports. Despite this prominence, Pakistan's global share in textile exports has consistently declined. Considering this, this study explores the potential impact of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) on fostering textile exports. The study applied a structural gravity model with the Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood (PPML) estimator to analyze annual exports for the period 2002–2021. Findings exhibit a positive and statistically significant effect of FTAs on textile exports, with varied impacts compared to major competitors. Moreover, we categorized textile products at the HS 4-digit level based on their …

Customer Data And The Digital Age, Mahdi Ansari
CBER Conference
Data is widely regarded as the most valuable resource in today’s economy, yet its value often eludes precise quantification. This paper examines customer data as an intangible capital asset and addresses the challenge of measuring its impact. A novel database was created by merging Compustat with online clickstream data capturing the activity of approximately 200 million users, providing proxies for data inflow based on visit metrics. The analysis documents that the distribution of firms’ customer data stocks follows a rightskewed log-normal pattern with a fat tail. Additionally, a positive relationship emerges between sales and data inflow, data stock, profit, and …

Data collected from 319 working-age women reveal significant improvements in mobility patterns and safety perceptions postintervention. Our preliminary findings indicate the intervention significantly impacts extensive margin, increasing the time spent travelling. Further it …
If You Can’T Beat Them Join Them: Empirical Assessment Into How Integrating Conventional Taxis On The Uber App Impacts Conventional Taxi Ridership, Shahmeer Mohsin
If You Can’T Beat Them Join Them: Empirical Assessment Into How Integrating Conventional Taxis On The Uber App Impacts Conventional Taxi Ridership, Shahmeer Mohsin
CBER Conference
Since the emergence of ride-hailing platforms like Uber, conventional taxi ridership has taken a severe hit. Taxi-hailing apps like Curb and Arro have allowed conventional taxis to jump on the platform economy bandwagon and offer a similar service to ride-hailing platforms. Despite the emergence of these taxi-hailing apps, strong lock-in effects and high switching costs of popular ride-hailing platforms (Uber, Lyft, etc.) restrict the ridership volumes of conventional taxis. Recently, the ride-hailing platform, Uber has started to add conventional taxis on its app under increasing pressure from Cities and conventional taxi associations. Such integrations have the potential of increasing conventional …

Does Improving Infrastructural Facilities At Schools Increases Participation Rate Of Differently Abled Children? Evidence From Pakistan, Abbas Ali Gillani
CBER Conference
Globally, differently abled children (DAC) are facing multiple and often compounding challenges in accessing schools. Compared with children without disabilities, DAC are 49 percent more likely to have never attended school. While there is sufficient literature on the impact of demand side factors on the enrolment of DAC at school, there is very limited research exploring the effects of the supply side determinants, such as school infrastructural facilities available for DAC, on the participation rate of DAC. Using the case study of Pakistan, where 96 percent of DAC do not attend school, school-level data from over 10,000 schools for the …

The Power Of Assets: A Catalyst For Multidimensional Well-Being, Nasir Iqbal, Saima Nawaz
CBER Conference
Asset transfer program, known as the "Big Push" intervention, emerges as a powerful tool to promote multidimensional well-being among the poor. However, its effectiveness in settings with decade-long state-provided consumption support remains unclear. This study investigates the impact of asset transfers under the National Poverty Graduation Program (NPGP) in Pakistan, amid an established framework of unconditional cash transfers. Using a quasi-experimental approach, we observe significant enhancements in overall well-being, food consumption, ownership of assets, and social integration among beneficiaries. Furthermore, the NPGP encourages savings behavior among beneficiaries, contributing to their long-term financial resilience. Our findings exhibit substantial differences in the …
Investigating The Effect Of Active Living Wall On Indoor Air Quality And Energy Consumption: Case Study In Uaeu Closed Offices, Atina Ghunaim
Investigating The Effect Of Active Living Wall On Indoor Air Quality And Energy Consumption: Case Study In Uaeu Closed Offices, Atina Ghunaim
Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses
Extreme hot climates can significantly affect indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation, resulting in higher energy demands. Numerous studies have demonstrated that outdoor greening, such as trees and landscaped areas, can reduce a building’s energy consumption. However, less research has been conducted on the impact of indoor vegetation on energy use and air quality. Indoor vegetation decreases carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration by absorbing and releasing oxygen (O₂), while the evapotranspiration process further enhances (IAQ) and reduces energy expenditure. The United Arab Emirates has dry arid climate and summers with high humidity levels, causing individuals to stay longer indoors, which is …
