Human Development Index (HDI) of Depok is highest in West Java, but there are inequality and the gender gap. The purposes of the research are to analyze the level of income inequality, analyze the level of economic progress and analyze the factors that affect of HDI. The data were analyzed using Williamson Index, Klassen typology and panel regression using data from 11 districts in Depok over the period 2012-2014. Based on Williamson Index, we found that disparity of income among districts in Depok is relatively high (>0,5) but tended to decrease over the period of 2013-2014. Klassen typology shows that Depok can be classified into four types. Estimation using fixed effect model could be applied to examined the impact of independent variables consist of education aspects, health aspects, personal income aspects and demography aspect to HDI. Regression analysis showed a positive and significant influence between the number of primary schools, PDRB per capita and population density with IPM. The ratio of teachers and students in primary schools and the ratio of teachers and students in high school/ vocational negative significant effect on the HDI.Keyword: HDI, disparity, panel dataABSTRACT Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM) Kota Depok tertinggi di Jawa Barat, tetapi ada ketimpangan dan kesenjangan gender.

The economic reforms of 1991 resulted in an increased inflow of FDI into theIndian economy. However, for the invention of new techniques and skills, there is a greatneed to invest on R&D, requires a huge amount of capital, which can be available throughFDI inflows. Technology has been imported in heavy amount after the implementation ofliberalization policies. Therefore, the present study intends to know whether FDIcontributes to the Indian manufacturing sector through R&D or not. The average growthof the manufacturing sector in India (7.93 per cent) has been found considerably higherduring the second decade of reforms (2001-2012) as compared to first decade reforms(1991-2000). In the context of this, the present study has tried to examine the trends andpatterns of FDI and R&D in manufacturing firms of India during the second decade ofreforms (2001-12) and also, to analyze the impact of FDI and exports on R&D inmanufacturing firms of India through fixed effect model. The results suggest that R&D hasbeen significantly impacted by the import of capital goods, foreign equity, disembodiedtechnology, and export intensity during the second decade of liberalization period. Thepresent study suggests that greater approvals for foreign capital inflows are required inIndia, for enhancing the R&D in the manufacturing sector. There must be an appropriatecoordination between public and private sector, which can improve the R&D expenditureof manufacturing firms of India.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of instructional leadership, professional communities and extra “non-teaching” responsibilities for teachers on student achievement. Design/methodology/approach For a sample of 214 teachers from 88 primary schools in Pakistan, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to study the factor structure of the items. Correlation and hierarchical regression analysis was done to study the impact of the independent variables on student achievement; directly and through the mediation effect of teacher commitment. Findings The analysis of the data reveals that teacher commitment mediates the relationship between the independent variables and student achievement. Practical implications This study has implications for the education management and policy community in the sense that they should not engage teachers into non-teaching roles and promote instructional leadership within the school managers and help in development of teacher networks which will subsequently add to student achievement. Originality/value The role of teacher commitment in explaining the student achievement has not been researched extensively in the past. The study at hand intends to fill this research gap. Furthermore, the impact of extra “non-teaching” responsibilities on teacher commitment and subsequently the student achievement has not been studied before. Hence, this study is expected to open up a new dimension in this regard.

With the continuous improvement of China’s overall education level, the number of top managers with famous university experience in listed companies has been increasing. The question then becomes whether the performance of the listed companies is better if there are more top managers with famous university experience in the top management team (TMT). Based on the sample of listed companies in China from 2008 to 2018, we adopted the two-way fixed effect model and panel propensity score matching (Panel-PSM) methodology to examine the impact of top managers with famous university experience on corporate performance and its mechanism. We found that the higher the proportion of top managers with famous university experience in the TMT, the better the corporate performance will be, and this positive effect is larger in companies with high business complexity. We also found that this effect is mediated by overconfidence of the TMT. The proportion of top managers with famous university experience in the TMT will inhibit the overconfidence of the TMT, which will ultimately benefit corporate performance.

The study uses earning per share and dividends as dependent variables to represent Banks’ performance. The empirical analysis based on the fixed effect model selected on the basis of Hausman test. The results indicate that the impact of Non-performing loans on commercial banks’ dividends is positive and significant while the impact of capital adequacy is negative and statistically significant on dividends. The results indicate that the credit risk, liquidity risk, non-performing loan and capital adequacy have significant effect on earnings per share and the effects are negative as expected. Based on the study it is recommended that the Jordanian commercial banks needs enhance the process of credit risk management to determine loan defaulter and impose the appropriate legal action against them.

Diversity and socioeconomic deprivation have been widely discussed as determinants of social cohesion. These two factors are considered to be a threat to social cohesion. The existing literature identifies the problem however the literature suggesting the solution is very limited. The most important determinant which can cure the problems of social cohesion is the better quality of institutions, however, the literature on this aspect is very scant. Current study has investigated the impact of institutional quality on social cohesion. Current study employs the fixed effect model for estimation. The analysis is conducted for 135 countries, using five-year average panel data. The results suggest that institutional quality augments social cohesion, while ethnic diversity, income inequality, and globalization are a threat to social cohesion. Gender equality and per capita income also augment social cohesion. Moreover, the threat to social cohesion is greater when there is: low institutional quality and high: ethnic diversity, and income inequality as compared to a situation where there are high institutional quality and low: ethnic diversity, and income inequality. The results further suggest that the harmful effects of ethnic diversity, globalization, and inequality can be, not only overcome by institutional quality but can also be put to use to enhance social cohesion.

This paper explores disparities in the effect of pollution on confirmed cases of Covid-19 based on counties’ socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Using data on all US counties on a daily basis over the year 2020 and applying a rich panel data fixed effect model, we document that: 1) there are discernible social and demographic disparities in the spread of Covid-19. Blacks, low educated, and poorer people are at higher risks of being infected by the new disease. 2) The criteria pollutants including Ozone, CO, PM10, and PM2.5 have the potential to accelerate the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. 3) The disadvantaged population is more vulnerable to the effects of pollution on the spread of coronavirus. Specifically, the effects of pollution on confirmed cases become larger for blacks, low educated, and counties with lower average wages in 2019.
