Islamic Finance, Inclusive Growth, And Poverty Alleviation, Ishrat Husain Dr.
Islamic Finance, Inclusive Growth, And Poverty Alleviation, Ishrat Husain Dr.
Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse
Most of the attention on Islamic finance has so far been focused on the regulatory framework, products and services offered, comparability with conventional finance, risk management characteristics, Shariah compliance, and expansion and penetration issues. Very little work has been done to explore the unique features of Islamic finance for the larger good of the society particularly in the context of economic growth and poverty alleviation. I would argue this morning that Islamic finance can be a powerful tool for inclusive growth and amelioration of the conditions of poor in the Muslim countries. Let me clarify at the outset as to …
An Alternative Strategy For Building Sales Of Computers: Generic Advertising, Min Lu, Steven M. Thompson, Yanbin Tu
An Alternative Strategy For Building Sales Of Computers: Generic Advertising, Min Lu, Steven M. Thompson, Yanbin Tu
Management Faculty Publications
Frequent upgrading and aggressive price-cutting have become standard practice in the computer sector. While necessitated in part by declining production costs and a highly competitive market, these strategies have also served to make computers more affordable, growing the size of the overall market. Recently downturns in the sales of computers motivate us to examine the impact of these strategies on overall sales growth. We find evidence to suggest that excessive upgrading and overly aggressive price-cutting can be detrimental to overall sales growth. We also find that the computer sector exhibits characteristics that suggest that generic advertising would be an effective …

In 2000, a group of state business recruiters from New England joined to promote New England to corporate real estate and site selection consultants at IDRC’s1 World Congress in New York City. At roughly the same time, the two metropolitan areas of Hartford, Conn., and Springfield, Mass., formed the Hartford-Springfield Economic Partnership (HSEP). These informal ventures that cross state borders represent coalitions of business, academic, political and policy leaders working together to foster the combined regions’ economic well-being.
Structural And Financial Constraints For Arabica Coffee Planters, Chloe Wardropper
Structural And Financial Constraints For Arabica Coffee Planters, Chloe Wardropper
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Arabica coffee production in Cameroon is struggling. Coffee growers and their plants are aging rapidly due to a lack of incentives to continue production. The downturn in arabica production started in the 1980’s, with the drop in the world price of coffee and the privatization of formerly government-run programs and agricultural cooperatives. Financial problems continue today because there are no structures to replace those organizations which offered financial and technical support. This paper will examine the constraints facing arabica coffee growers today and the options available to them for the amelioration of their situation. This is achieved primarily through interviews …

Essays On Risk And Incentives, Russell Engel
Essays On Risk And Incentives, Russell Engel
WCBT Faculty Publications
I use economic experiments to investigate individual behavior under uncertainty. The first essay examines the consistency of risk preferences over two institutions. The two institutions I use are the first price sealed bid auction and a Holt-Laury lottery. There is some controversy as to whether or not observed overbidding in first price auction is actually caused by risk aversion or simply consistent with it. Behavior in the Holt-Laury lottery being caused by risk aversion is not in dispute. By having the same subjects participate in both institutions, I show that subjects.risk preferences in the lottery are consistent with subjects' risk …
Fostering Entrepreneurship: Developing A Risk-Taking Culture In Singapore, Balbir B. Bhasin
Fostering Entrepreneurship: Developing A Risk-Taking Culture In Singapore, Balbir B. Bhasin
WCBT Faculty Publications
About 10 years ago the Singapore Government realized that entrepreneurial spirit was lacking in its general population. These conclusions were confirmed by an empirical survey, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), an annual assessment of the national level of entrepreneurial activity. The paternalistic and authoritative approach of the government contributed to the general population's averseness to participating in risk-oriented ventures. Removing impediments to entrepreneurship is a key challenge for the government and the business sector if the island republic is to maintain its national competitiveness. This article explores the various initiatives taken by the government to stimulate risk-taking and attempts to …

An Assessment Of Factors Affecting Fleet Fuel Performance, Carlo D. Smith, John L. Kent, Cory J. Roberts
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Business
Improving fuel performance in all modes of transportation is becoming more important as fuel prices increase and concerns over environmental issues rise. This is particularly relevant in the class 8 motor carrier sector which accounts for the majority of fuel consumption among all classes of motor freight movement. The present study evaluated the extent that existing technologies, systems and policies designed to improve fuel efficiency have been and are expected to be adopted by current class 8 fleets. Results suggest that while many of the efforts of suppliers to the industry are focused on new technologies, there remains an opportunity …

Some Perspectives On The Actuarial Adequacy Of The Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, Andrew Frank Thompson
UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
This paper analyzes the actuarial adequacy of PBGC in providing insurance coverage to employees participating in single employer, defined benefit pension plans. The first part of this investigation examines the micro and macro economic factors that impact the financial stability and actuarial viability of PBGC. A second section discusses externalities that may contribute to suboptimal premiums and adverse selection for PBGC. A linear control model is introduced to analyze the most effective way PBGC might use its $100 million credit line with the Department of the Treasury. In addition, a model based on the economic theory of clubs develops relationships …

In recent years there have been many celebrity endorsements to programs meant to alleviate poverty. Now marketers are getting people to purchase items with the promise to send so much of the purchase price to various charities. What better way to promote social responsibility while gaining market share and profits? However, poverty is not going away in a manner that one might assume with so much money. Why not?

Regional Cooperation In Asia: Options For Pakistan, Ishrat Husain Dr.
Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse
The topic ‘Regional Cooperation’ is quite wide and encompasses many different dimensions – political, security, cultural, economic etc. I would like to focus my remarks this morning on economic cooperation and interaction only. The context for regional economic cooperation is the globalization that is driving the economic processes. From 1990 to 2003 global GDP increased 1.7 times while global trade and FDI increased 2.2 and 3 times respectively. Globalization has contributed to economic growth through several channels.

Product innovations are different and specific to MFIs, but all focus on one feature: they are all geared toward providing a wider range of financial products and intermediation options. These innovations are the launching pad and competitive advantage for MFIs, but most people are confused about these innovations.

Trade-Offs Between Social And Financial Performance, Gary Woller
Trade-Offs Between Social And Financial Performance, Gary Woller
Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review
True or False: Trade-offs occur between social performance and financial performance in microfinance. Conventional wisdom says true. Extending formal financial services to poor and hard-to-reach clientele necessarily entails higher costs and lower per unit returns and is, subsequently, harder to scale up. The trade-off inherent in this relationship creates incentives for microfinance institutions (MFIs) to move up-market and away from their traditional poor clientele—a phenomenon known as mission drift.

This is Old Dominion University's eighth annual State of the Region report. While it represents the work of many people connected in various ways to the university, the report does not constitute an official viewpoint of Old Dominion or it's president, Roseann Runte. The report maintains the goal of stimulating thought and discussion that ultimately will make Hampton Roads an even better place to live. We are proud of our region's many successes, but realize that it is possible to improve our performance. In order to do so, we must have accurate information about "where we are" and a sound …
