    Nexus between exports, imports and foreign direct investment: Evidence from Bangladesh
    (International Islamic University Chittagong, 2021-12) Daror, Hudayfe Osman; Ahmed, Zobayer; Muhumed, Muhumed Mohamed
    Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a significant role in international trade (IT). Numerous recent studies focused on the FDI-IT nexus and found a strong interrelation between the two variables. The current research empirically examines the causal linkage among imports, exports, and FDI in Bangladesh, utilizing available time-series data from 1980-2015. The study finds that the long-run equilibrium association exists among Exports, Imports and FDI. The study also finds unidirectional causality running from imports and exports to FDI, meaning the rise and fall of exports and imports cause an increase or decrease in FDI of Bangladesh, respectively, and there is no other long-run causality found among other variables. In the short run, unilateral causality is running from imports to FDI, imports to export and exports to FDI. These empirical findings mean that expanding trade can be used to attract more FDI in Bangladesh. Therefore, the study findings strongly support the notion that international trade (exports and imports) stem from the attraction of FDI.

    Role of financial inclusion on bank stability in Bangladesh
    (International Islamic University Chittagong, 2021-12) Chowdhury, Mohim Uddin,; Md Noman, Abu Hanifa
    This study investigates the role of financial inclusion on bank stability in Bangladesh. Financial inclusion indicates equality and availability of financial products to individuals and businesses, which is captured with natural logarithm of number of ATM per 100 thousand of people (lnATM), log of number of bank branch (lnBB), ratio of Private Credit to Gross Domestic Product (PCGDP), ratio of financial system deposit to GDP (FSDGDP). Conversely, bank stability is proxied by natural logarithm of Z-score (lnZ-score), and ratio of non-performing loan to gross loan (NPL ratio). In the investigation process, we have used an unbalanced panel dataset consisting of all commercial banks from Bangladesh over the 2002-2014 period. Controlling a number of bank-level and macro-economic variables, the random effect model demonstrates that financial inclusion is positively related with bank solvency and negatively related credit risk taking. The results suggest that financial inclusion is supportive for promoting bank stability in Bangladesh. Therefore, the paper proposes to bolster financial innovation in order to increase financial in Bangladesh.

    A statistical analysis of the relationship between working capital management and profitability: Evidence from selected manufacturing companies of Bangladesh
    (International Islamic University Chittagong, 2021-12) Hossain, Mohammad Emdad
    The aim of this study is to measure the relationship between working capital management and profitability. The research is based on secondary data derived from annual reports of companies listed on Bangladeshi stock exchanges. The sample spans nine years, from 2011 to 2019, and includes 52 manufacturing enterprises in Bangladesh, including 20 pharmaceutical companies and 32 textile companies. The cash conversion cycle is significantly positively associated with profitability, the average collection period is significantly negatively associated with profitability, and the inventory conversion period is also significantly negatively associated with profitability, but the average payable period is not significantly associated with profitability. This research adds to the literature by focusing on working capital management and profitability, particularly in the textile and pharmaceutical industries. There have been a few research on this topic, however they are limited in sample size and time period. This research looks at all active businesses in these two industries. As a result, policymakers in these disciplines may utilize these findings to make decisions.

    SEM Model to analyze the factors affecting university image: A study on International Islamic University Chittagong
    (CRP, Center for Research and Publication, 2021-12) Alam, Mohammad Manjur
    Private higher education institutions (PHEIs) have emerged as more competitive and stimulating day by day due to alternative accessibility and availability. University management ensures a global image to meet their stakeholders and social expectations. This study sets out to identify factors affecting university image by developing a structural equation model. A proposed model of overall university image formation through structural equation modeling, 310 respondents have been collected by using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, correlation, confirmatory factor analyses, and structural equation modeling were run to evaluate factors affecting overall image in IIUC. Based on the findings, all factors measured in this study have a positive significant effect on the overall university image. This research also explored that non-academic and management image is the most important predictors from the IIUC context. The model explains the overall university image well (61% of the total variation). This study is important for future marketing and better strategic plan to meet the needs of IIUC stakeholders as well as other HEIs in Bangladesh.

    The historic verdict of ITLOS on maritime border delimitation in the region of the Bay of Bengal: A historical analysis
    (CRP, Center for Research and Publication, 2021-12) Hossain, MD. Shayeed; Ullah, MD. Cholem; Absar, A. B. M. Nurul
    In 1982, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) established the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) as an independent tribunal to sit in judgment on resolving maritime clash between the states. The ITLOS published on 14 March 2012 its case judgment on the Dispute Maritime Border between Bangladesh and Myanmar in the sea area of the Bay of Bengal. That tribunal was asked to demarcate three maritime borders; the Territorial Sea Border, Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and Continental Shelf beyond EEZ were the principles of delimitation. The article focuses on analyzing and investigating the main features of the remarkable verdict from the historical perspectives. This paper also attempts to study its significant implication in sharing sea resources from both countries. Regional relations and border security tension can be more exposed in the regional geopolitics due to the judgment. Therefore, Bangladesh will adopt effective roles in the chessboard of south Asian regional politics following significant historical lessons of past and present.

    Gender diversity and earnings management: Evidence from Bangladesh
    (CRP, Center for Research and Publication, 2022-12) Uddin, Mohammad Helal
    This study aims to evaluate the impact of Gender-diversity on earnings manipulation using both accrual and real earnings management techniques. All the data has been gathered from yearly reports of recorded non-financial organizations in Bangladesh from 2011 to 2019; after necessary diagnostic checking, this study finally uses the OLS regression model to evaluate the relationship. Findings show that the non-financial organizations of Bangladesh are practicing both forms of earnings management simultaneously. Evidence illustrates that female directors on the board have no significant association with any proxies of accrual earnings management but are significantly positively associated with abnormal discretionary expenses. Moreover, the gender diversity of CEOs is negatively connected with abnormal production costs and positively associated with abnormal cash flow from operating activities, and the relationship is statistically significant. Policymakers and other stakeholders can use these findings to give more concentration on the issue of women's involvement at the corporate level and the development of governance issues.
