We test the hypothesis that regulatory capital positively impacts the risk-taking behavior of Islamic and conventional banks in the MENA region. The analysis indicates that the capital adequacy ratio has no significant influence on the credit risk of Islamic banks;however, market competition does play a significant role in shaping the risk behavior of these institutions. We report the opposite result for conventional banks – an increase in the minimum capital requirements is associated with an increase in their risk level. We also find that Islamic and conventional banks experience a non-linear relationship between market concentration and bank risk. Our findings inform regulatory authorities concerned with improving banking sector’s stability in the MENA region to strengthen their policies to force banks to better align with capital requirements which is highly important during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Corporate governance is an important effort to ensure accountability and responsibility and is a ... more Corporate governance is an important effort to ensure accountability and responsibility and is a set of principles which should be incorporated into every part of an organization. The effectiveness of an organization's corporate governance structure has far-reaching effect on its proper functioning. Corporate governance essentially involves balancing the interests of the many stakeholders in a company; these include its shareholders, management, customers, suppliers, financiers, government and the community. Kocourek et al. (2003) state that governance begins inside the boardroom, among the directors. It is embedded in how, when, and why they gather, interact, and work with one another and with management; in other words, the 'soft' stuff. But qualitative reforms in the behavior, relationship, and objectives of the directors and CEO are meaningless unless they are subject to the 'hard' mechanisms of performance criteria, processes, and measurement. According to h...

This paper aims to examine the effect of budget deficit financing on economic growth in Bangladesh throughout 1981–2018. Using secondary data, the paper uses the cointegration test, vector error correction mechanism (VECM) and Granger causality test. Johansen’s cointegration test outcomes find that the study variables are cointegrated and subsequently have a long-run nexus among the variables. The study finds that in the long run, government domestic debt (GDD), government external debt (GEXD) and money supply (MS) affect positively economic growth (RGDP). The outcomes of the VECM approach express that in the short run, GDD, external debt and MS negatively affect economic growth. Also, short-run causality runs from the GDD, GEXD and MS to economic growth. The Granger causality test result shows unidirectional causal nexus running from GDD to RGDP, RGDP to external debt and GEX...

The Johansen cointegration result indicates that gross capital formation (GCF), labor, Electricity power consumption (EPC), energy consumption (EC) has a positive and statistically significant effect on economic growth (RGDP) while environmental degradation (carbon dioxide emissions) has an inverse effect on it. The results of VECM show that there exists a long-run causal nexus among the variables and there is short-run causality running from the capital formation and electricity power consumption to the economic growth while there is no short-run causality from the labor, energy consumption, carbon emission to the economic growth. The causality test shows that there exist a unidirectional causal relations...

It plays a critical and necessary role in the formulation of income distribution policies and alleviating poverty. This study investigates the relationship through ordinary least square (OLS), fully-modified OLS and dynamic OLS models using panel data from the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries from 1990 to 2018. According to the findings, imbalance plays an important role in influencing poverty and concludes that the government should embrace procedures that help improve pay distribution to reduce poverty at the strategy level. Furthermore, the findings state that a bi-directional Granger causality exists between schooling and poverty. In terms of strategy, SAARC countries should continue to increase the proportion of sustainable energy used for financial development, thereby decreasing the use of fossil energy for environmental improvements.
