This paper uses the Granger direct test to evaluate the causal relationship between growth in money supply and inflation in Pakistan. The historical period investigated extends from 1973 to 1985. The results of the test show that money growth had a significant impact on inflation during the period considered. In addition, there is some evidence at hand showing that inflation, too, affected money growth over the 1973- 1985 period. The empirical issue of the impact of money supply on rate of inflation continues to be a much debated topic. For example, Tumovsky and Wohar (1984) do not find any identifiable relationship between money supply and prices over the 1929- 1978 period in the U.S., while Benderly and Zwick (1985) find money supply affecting prices in the U,S, over the 1955-1982 period. Jones and Uri (1986) also find evidence of money supply influencing price level in the U.S. during the 1953- 1984 period. Studies• for other countries, e,g. Driscoll, Ford, and Mullineux (1985) for the U.K., invariably report similar conflicting results about the relationship between money supply and prices. While there are numerous empirical studies that have examined the causal relationship .between money supply and prices in developed countries, there are also several recent studies that have addressed this particular issue for developing countries. In one such study, Aghevli and Khan (1978) use the Haugh-Pierce test to investigate the causal relationship between money growth and inflation in Brazil, Colombia. the Dominican Republic, and Thailand. t The results of the tests show a feedback or bidirectional causality between money and inflation in all the four developing countries over the 1964-1974 period.

The Relationship

This study examines the relationship between terrorism and economic openness that takes into account both the number and intensity of terrorist incidents and the impact of government military expenditures on trade-GDP and foreign direct investment-GDP ratios for both developed and developing countries. It uses the dynamic GMM method to account for endogeneity in the variables. Deaths caused by terrorism have a significant negative impact on FDI flows, and the number of terrorist attacks is also found to be significant in hampering the countries’ ability to trade with other nations. The study also demonstrates that the developing countries exhibit almost similar results to our main analysis. The developed countries exhibit a negative impact of terrorism, but the regression results are not significant.

The Impact

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review a synthesis of theories and empirical studies dealing with the adoption of and compliance with IFRS in developing countries in an attempt to provide directions for future research. Design/methodology/approach – The review focusses on four main streams including: first, the motives for IFRS adoption; second, corporate characteristics and the degree of compliance with IFRS; third, the economic consequences of IFRS adoption and finally; fourth, the use of regulation as an enforcement mechanism to monitor compliance with IFRS. The authors review empirical studies specifically devoted to developing countries. Findings – Regarding the first stream relating to IFRS adoption, the macroeconomic decision of adopting IFRS in developing countries can be justified by two main theories which are: the economic theory of network (Katz and Shapiro, 1985) and isomorphism (DiMaggio and Powell, 1991), however, empirical evidence in developing countries to confirm these theories is limited. Regarding the second stream relating to corporate characteristics and the degree of compliance with IFRS, the authors find that the results are mixed. Regarding the third stream relating to the economic consequences of IFRS adoption, it seems that the evidence is still limited in developing countries especially with respect to the impact of IFRS adoption on foreign direct investment, cost of equity capital and earnings management. Regarding the fourth and final stream in relation to regulation, enforcement and compliance with IFRS, the authors find that research is very limited. It was evidenced in the very few research studies conducted, that global disclosure standards are optimal only if compliance is monitored and enforced by efficient institutions. Practical implications – The author’s study attempts to provide a foundational knowledge resource that will inform practitioners, researchers and regulators in developing countries about the relevance of the different theories that exist in the accounting literature to explain the adoption of and compliance with IFRS. Originality/value – Compared to developed countries, the four streams outlined remain under-researched in developing countries. Therefore, researchers should examine these topics in developing countries to inform practitioners, regulators and the capital market about the effects of adopting IFRS and their relevance to developing countries. In addition, researchers should embark on identifying new theories to explain the adoption of and compliance with IFRS in developing countries that take into consideration the socioeconomic culture of these settings.

Trend Reversal

It is recognized that the financial crisis, which was the symbolic beginning of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, first hit the most advanced countries. A common phenomenon in European countries has become a trend reversal in the labour market, manifesting a decrease in the number of employees. The decline in employment was almost two times higher in developed countries than in developing countries. In developing countries the crisis hit the hardest into export-oriented industries, while in developed countries, into manufacturing industries and trade. Dismissals in building industry relate to a similar extent to different regions of developed countries and developing countries. Economists note that the economic crisis and the differences in pace of its impact on the economy of individual units reduced in recent years the gap between rich regions and those lagging behind. The study was an attempt to present regional differences in the impact of financial crisis of economy in France on the basis of data characterizing the change in general employment and industry, services and trade. The particular attention was directed to the relationship between the extent of the impact of the crisis on employment size and the degree of economic development.

Purpose The entire world is now witnessing the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is indeed altering the lives of the many in both developing and developed countries. Massive digital transformations are affecting the economies of those countries and are bringing with them many promised merits, as well as many challenges to face. This paper aims to examine the relationship between digital transformation (as a one facet of the fourth revolution and AI trends) on one side, and economic development, labor productivity and employment on the other side. Design/methodology/approach The paper analyzes different indices of digital transformation, and then uses the Digital Evolution Index (DEI) to study those relationships in a group of developing countries using feasible generalized least squares method (FGLS). Findings The results show a positive relationship between the digital transformation index and economic development, labor productivity and job employment. Females seem to gain more from digital transformation compared to males, as suggested by the positive relation with the first and the insignificant relation with the latter. The relationship with vulnerable employment is not significant; more evidence is still needed to judge whether digital transformation will have an impact upon the vulnerable employees in the economy. Research limitations/implications The paper focused on the impact of digital transformation upon total aggregate employment. Future research is still needed to examine the impact upon the structure of the labor market and the shift of occupations. Originality/value The paper aims to add to in the literature regarding the relationship between digital transformation, economic development, employment and productivity in the developing world. The implications of those relationships are of significant importance to policymakers regarding how much support should be given to encourage the digital transformation. At the same time, it shall also indicate how much social support policies are required – if any – to lessen the negative impact of digital transformation on the vulnerable groups inside the country. Another contribution is using a single composite index for digital transformation that is comparable across the chosen set of developing countries, instead of using single indices each capturing a different dimension of digital transformation.

Corporate governance is one of most widely researched topics in the different fields of management sciences. Additionally, governance plays equal role in firm performance in all countries especially developing countries become more important like Pakistan which contain equal importance to be studied with in subject to developed countries as to be well known in governance values, moreover there is increased interest to observe impact of corporate governance on different dimensions of firm performance. The objective of this paper is to underlay the corporate governance theories and practices and we have studied and try to analysis the impact of corporate governance structure on firm performance. This is a descriptive type of study in which we analysis different studies as coded all studies as they may have different implications in developed countries but here they may have different results as in developing countries and Pakistan is different among other Asian countries because of number of reasons as discussed in introduction with respect to its governance structure. We also have find interesting results as from other empirical studies recently a part of Pakistan perspective research and having number of important implications with respect of changes need to be made in Pakistan’s governance structure. Findings shows there is impact of corporate governance on firm performance and market performance of firm also been effected with governance style

Purpose: The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between learning organization practices and subjective performance of employees moderated by employee engagement in in emerging financial markets of Malaysia, Pakistan, and Indonesia. There are identified continuous learning, collaboration and team learning, system to capture learning, empower employees, the connection to organization, strategic leadership, inquiry and dialogue as seven dimensions of learning organization practices. All of them affect more or less the subjective performance of employees in any organization. Research Design: We select the sample of 230 people working in different departments of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) of developing countries; Malaysia, Pakistan, and Indonesia. Data is collected from the concerned organizations. Findings: On empirical basis, the relationship is found highly significant, learning organization is affecting subjective performance of employees with maximum coefficient of β=.681, which means an increase in learning organization practices will affect subjective performance of employees positively in emerging Islamic financial markets of Malaysia, Pakistan, and Indonesia. Practical implications: The study recommends that learning organization practices should be considered to increase the subjective performance of the employees in IFIs of developing countries. Originality/ value: An association between learning organization practices and subjective performance is explored with major concentration on conventional institutions of the developed countries, whereas this study explores the impact of learning organization practices on subjective performance of employees in the case of Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) of developing countries.

Purpose This study aims to examine the relationship between sustainability reporting and bank performance after financial crisis in developed and developing countries. Design/methodology/approach This study examines 882 banks from developed and developing countries covering 11 years after the 2008 financial crisis. The independent variable is environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores. The dependent variables are return on assets, return on equity and Tobin’s Q. This study uses bank- and country-specific control variables to measure the relationship between sustainability reporting and bank performance. Findings The findings deduced from the empirical results demonstrate that ESG improves banks’ accounting and market-based performance in developed countries, supporting value creation theory. Using pooling regression and instrumental variable – generalized method of moments, this study finds that ESG weakens banks’ performance in developed and developing countries. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to investigate and compare the impact of sustainability reporting on banks’ performance in developed and developing countries. The study found similarities in the impact of sustainability reporting and the improvement of banks’ current and future performance.
