Determinants Of Profitability Of Commercial Bank In Afghanistan, Mohammad Osman Saeedi
Determinants Of Profitability Of Commercial Bank In Afghanistan, Mohammad Osman Saeedi
Senior Projects Fall 2023
Over the past two decades, the global financial sector, particularly the banking industry, has undergone significant transformations impacting its performance. Recognizing the pivotal role of the financial sector in economic growth, this study focuses on Afghanistan's banking sector, tracing its roots to the establishment of the first commercial banking institution, Bank Millie Afghan, in 1933. Following decades of war, the banking sector experienced revitalization after 2001, marked by the emergence of a new government, international aid inflow, and increased business activities. Despite remarkable growth, Afghanistan's banking sector faces challenges such as security concerns, cultural issues, and a developing banking culture. …
Essays On Monetary Policy And International Macroeconomics, Elisa Vilorio Medina
Essays On Monetary Policy And International Macroeconomics, Elisa Vilorio Medina
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
An understanding how external shocks affect macroeconomic variables is important
for policy implications and sound recommendations. My dissertation analyzes the
impact of exogenous shocks on inflation, exchange rate, and monetary policy in
advanced economies and emerging market economies.
The second chapter explores the extent to which the exogenous shock of the
shale oil revolution explains the missing-puzzle inflation—sluggish price inflation
in the U.S and below the Federal Reserve’s two percent inflation target following
the expansion after the Great Recession. Using a novel identification framework,
I disentangle the shocks by imposing a combination of dynamic sign restrictions,
block exogeneity, and short-run …
Us Financial Expansions And Exchange Rate Determination, Matthew Brill
Us Financial Expansions And Exchange Rate Determination, Matthew Brill
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to explore how US financial activity influences the exchange rates of foreign nations. Starting off by building on Currency Hierarchy and Minskyan dynamics, I look at how financial cycles generated in the US, the key economy, transmit liquidity towards economies on the periphery. Additionally, I use the increase in shadow banking asset accumulation relative to commercial banking asset accumulation as indicative of financial expansions in the US, and the driving force of financial cycles. Using vector autoregression (VAR) analysis I test the relationships between the ratio of US shadow banking assets relative to commercial …

International Journal of African Development
Migration has been characterized as a fundamental component of the human experience, and today there are several hundred million international migrants around the world.

This paper explores economic remittances into Eritrea, examining the particular trends, amounts received, and how remittances are generally consumed. Additionally, the paper explores general perceptions about remittances and their impact upon society in Eritrea. Based on interviews and focus group discussions with individuals and households across …

Honors Undergraduate Theses
The emergence of digital currency is becoming prevalent in the age of globalization – specifically, cryptocurrencies.

Certain governments are more prone to the adoption of cryptocurrencies and three comparative case study countries, Iran, Russia, and Venezuela, have shared attributes that result in adoption. Observed factors that result in the adoption of cryptocurrencies include corruption, GDP level, economic volatility, and Western sanctions. These factors will be applied in …

This Part of the Essay explores whether an investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) feature …

International Financial Reporting Standards: A Cautionary Note For Emerging Economies, Khursheed Omer, Darshan Wadhwa
Business Review
Long before the present economic crisis unfolded, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) had been working to achieve harmonization in accounting and financial reporting standards across the globe. Now that the world economic community has become more integrated, cross border flow of capital has gained unprecedented momentum and steps are underway to achieve this goal as early as possible. Initial efforts to harmonize local accounting principles and practices with those followed in developed economies were generally aimed at facilitating foreign multinationals operating in other countries. The desired goal of harmonization now ought to …

Financial Stability, Trade Openness And The Structure Of Banks’ Shareholders, Claudiu T. Albulescu
Claudiu T Albulescu
The adverse effect of financial crises upon the world’s economies represented the background for the development of a wide economic literature on financial stability. The assessment of this phenomenon stands for a complex exercise, as many techniques can be used for this purpose. Such a technique is the construction of an aggregate financial stability index which allows for a comparison between financial systems stability. Based on an aggregate index and on a panel of data, we show that, for several Eastern European Countries, the financial stability is largely influenced by the trade openness and by the quality of banks’ shareholders. …
Malaysia In The Global Economy: Crisis, Recovery, And The Road Ahead, Daniel E. Charette
Malaysia In The Global Economy: Crisis, Recovery, And The Road Ahead, Daniel E. Charette
New England Journal of Public Policy
This article offers an analysis of contemporary economic development in Malaysia, focusing especially on the causes and consequences of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. Malaysia offers an excellent case study in international development due to its role as an export-dependent developing country with a high degree of integration in the global economy. In attempting to determine why Malaysia was enveloped by a financial crisis in July of 1997, a two-level political economy approach is used to separate international policy influences from domestic influences. My findings suggest that a combination of ill-advised, full capital account liberalization (Washington Consensus / international influence) …

With regard to the trading order, questions have arisen about the benefits from freer trade at a time when more countries are turning to managed trade and protectionist sentiment is on the rise. Some believe that the international financial system, for its part, no longer facilitates the transactions of goods but dominates them. This article discusses these issues and addresses the policy options available to government leaders.
