Abstract:

This paper analyses country-specific and industry-specific determinants of intra-industry trade (IIT) between Pakistan and other SAARC countries using panel data techniques. This paper also disentangles total IIT into horizontal and vertical IIT. The Vertical IIT is further divided into high-quality and low quality IIT. This paper finds that country-specific variables are more important in explaining the IIT relative to industry-specific variables. The decomposition of IIT shows that in the SAARC region Pakistan’s IIT is mostly comprised of the vertical IIT. The share of horizontal IIT is comp

Abstract:

The main objective of this article is to analyze the demographic situation of SAARC countries. This article is based on descriptive analyses of the data derived from the World Population Data Sheet (Population Reference Bureau) 2006 and 2016. The world population reached 7.4 billion in 2016. It is unevenly distributed because less developed countries occupied 83 percent and more developed countries had 17 percent. Asia only occupied three-fifth (60.53%). In the SAARC region, India and Maldives are the countries with the highest and lowest population. Afghanistan had the highest fertility and m

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between renewable energy sources and economic growth of the South Asian Association for regional cooperation (SAARC) countries. This study uses three main renewable energy sources, namely geothermal, hydro, and wind.This study collects data set from SAARC countries from 1995 to 2018 and applies a fixed effect test and panel vector error correction model (PVECM) for data analysis. The overall results show that all three renewable energy sources have a positive significant impact on economic development among SAARC countries’ economies. Mo

Abstract:

The renewed and reinvigorated engagement of India with the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) over the past few years has been one of the significant factors leading to the gradual and irreversible transition of the regional organisation from a declaratory phase to one of implementation (Bhagwati, 2008). The new growth momentum in the South Asian region and its increasing openness encourages a fresh look at the economic integration of the region. In this context, the study examines the opportunities and commodity potential of trade between India and the SAARC countries by

Abstract:

The debate on economic policies continues in both the local and global economies. All of the academics are interested in monetary and fiscal policy and how it affects the economy. The study attempts to explore whether there is any evidence that the SAARC countries' economic growth can be influenced by monetary policy. The study applies the Pedroni cointegration approach for panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) with the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) to study the relationship between monetary policy and economic growth of six SAARC nations over the period from 1983 to 2020.

This study looks at the short- and long-term effects of fossil fuels, renewable energy, and nuclear energy on CO2 emissions in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries from 1982 to 2021. We assess the impacts of SAARC’s current and anticipated use of nuclear, fossil, and alternative energies by testing the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis. The study applied the second-generation unit root test, cointegration test, and the newly introduced AMG technique to handle the presence of cross-sectional dependence. The results indicate that EKC does not hold in

Data consist of daily closing price of stock indices from 2000 to 2011.
