The Impact

<p><em>Research on the impact of migration on workers' wages in destination areas has long been debated in the literature. However, studies that link migration to wage rates in different percentiles along the distribution have not been widely implemented, as migration does not have the same impact on wage levels in all groups of workers. By establishing a counterfactual using the semi-parametric DFL method of National Labor Force Survey data, this study found that migration promotes changes in the distribution of wages, especially in the upper and lower percentiles. After controlling the magnitude of in-migration in each percentile group by using the ordinary least square method, this study also proves that migration leads to wage decreasing in percentile groups where migrant workers are overrepresented, which is in the 75th and 90th percentile groups. Meanwhile, no negative impacts were found on wage levels in the lower middle percentile. In fact, migration has proven to encourage an increase in the average wage of workers in the lowest percentile of the distribution.</em></p><p><strong><em>JEL Classification: </em></strong><em>J01, J11, J61</em><strong></strong></p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong>: <em>counterfactual, migration, wage distribution</em>

The Impact

The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of climatic variables (temperature and precipitation) on sorghum productivity in the Cercle of Koutiala in Mali. To do this, the model of the production function was used to estimate the variation of sorghum yield during a period of 30 years (1986-2015). After the test of the unit root of Dickey-Fuller Augmented (ADF), the estimation of the semi-logarithmic model by the Ordinary Least Square method (OLS) showed that the yield of sorghum was affected by the climatic variables. The increase in average rainfall over the period June-September positively affects the performance to a certain threshold. On the other hand, the average temperatures during June-July have no significant effects on the yield. The temperatures observed during August and September, negatively affect the performance of sorghum during the study period to a certain threshold. The precipitations of August and September have a positive impact but not significant on the yield. The interaction between mean precipitation and average temperature during the same period negatively influences the yield of the sorghum. Indeed, the increase of the precipitation combined with an increase of the temperature for the period June to September causes a reduction in the yield of sorghum. Depending on this situation, it is important and necessary to take measures to mitigate the negative impacts of climate on sorghum yield in the Cercle of Koutiala.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the behavior of the stock market returns in the different days of the week and different months of the year in accordance with the Islamic calendar. Further, the study estimates the risk-adjusted returns to test the performance of the indices during the Ramadan and non-Ramadan days. Finally, the study investigates the impact of Ramadan on the returns and the volatility of the stock market indices in India. Design/methodology/approach Initially, the study applies the Ordinary Least Square method to test the day-of-the-week and the month-of-the-year effect of the common and Shariah indices. Next, the study employs the risk-adjusted measurement to examine the underperformance and over-performance of the indices for both the periods. Finally, the study estimates the GARCH (1,1) and GJR-GARCH (1,1) models to observe the impact of Ramadan on the returns and the volatility of the Shariah indices in India. Findings The study finds that an average return of the indices during the Ramadan days are higher than non-Ramadan days. Further, the average returns of the Shariah indices are significantly higher on Wednesday than other days of the week. In addition, the highest and significant mean returns and mean risk-adjusted returns of the indices during the Ramadan days are observed. Finally, the study finds an evidence of the Ramadan effect on the returns and volatility of the indices in India. Originality/value The study observes evidence that the Ramadan effect influences the Shariah indices, but not the common indices in the stock market of the non-Muslim countries. It indicates that the Ramadan creates the positive mood and emotions in the investors buying and selling activities. The study suggests that investors can buy the shares before Ramadan period and sell them during the Ramadan days to get an abnormal return in the emerging markets.

The Impact

Low capital base, insolvency, poor corporate governance and incessant banks distress among other factors have contributed to the recent failure of banks in Nigeria. To curb such challenges, banks all over the world now adopt mergers and acquisitions as a strategy to improve their performances. Therefore, this study examined the impact of mergers and acquisition on the performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study considered capital structure, asset profile, total deposit and profit after tax of the selected bank as the measurement for the performance and effect of merger and acquisition of the bank in both pre and post merger and acquisition period. Data were collected from the published financial statements of the bank namely former Intercontinental Bank Plc and Access Bank (now Access Bank Plc) from 2005 to 2017 and the model was formulated using ordinary least square method. It was revealed that for both the pre-merger and post-merger periods, it was revealed that the access bank performed better. In the post – merger and acquisition period as asset profile and total deposit has no significant effect on the profit after tax of access bank in Nigeria, while capital structure has a significant effect on profit after tax of access bank plc. While in the pre-merger and acquisition capital structure, asset profile and total deposit have no significant impact on profit after tax of access bank plc. The study concludes that mergers and acquisitions have a significant impact on the performance of deposit money bank in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommended that banks can merge or acquire one and other. This has proved to be an effective strategy for rescuing ailing or weak banks. This would provide financial muscles and managerial competence that would enhance financial performance.
