Inequality and economic growth in Bangladesh- a diversified evidence on Kuznets pattern 'U' hypothesis
The study of inequality and economic growth to the developing countries are now a days a comprehensive issue since growth stimulate the standard of living to the poor people and accordingly reduce income inequality.The improvement of inequality and growth may reduce the social movement to the government and may keep the economic and social integrity amongst the different ethnic groups by efficient resource allocation and income redistribution in Bangladesh. The objective of this research is to assess the long term relationship between inequality and growth in Bangladesh with a methodology of Kuznets pattern inverted U hypothesis first introduced by Simon Kuznets since 1955. The popular concept of Kuznets hypothesis suggests that as economic growth occurs,income inequality first increase and then decline after a certain turning point. The study of Kuznets hypothesis is popular to the international economic environment rather than domestic, especially to the developing countries where the per capita GDP is below the level of world average. This study found the evidence that the presumption of Kuznets hypothesis has satisfy in the economy of Bangladesh in national level. In low income countries, structural adjustment is necessary to satisfy the Kuznets hypothesis.Kuznets Hypothesis, Inequality, Growth

Power in global agriculture: economics, politics, and natural resources
Recent events, such as the 2008 food price crisis, have focussed global attention on the agriculture and food sectors. In particular, many countries have become increasingly concerned with the issue of ensuring the security of their food supply and one key element of this is who has power within the food supply chain. Through examining three dimensions of power – Economic, Political, and Natural Resources – this paper explores where power currently lies in world agriculture and how this might change in the future. Whilst recognising that power is a somewhat abstract concept, through a process of deriving potential indicators, a picture of the distribution of power is drawn. These indicators were also used to develop a simple 'global power index'. The power index indicates that the US and the EU dominate world agriculture in terms of economics and politics, but are potentially vulnerable in terms of their possession of natural resources. On the other hand, the emerging economies have lower political and corporate power, but seem better placed in terms of natural resources. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for the main food producing regions
Frustration of square cupola in Sr(TiO)Cu(PO)
The structural and magnetic properties of the square-cupola antiferromagnet
Sr(TiO)Cu(PO) are investigated via x-ray diffraction,
magnetization, heat capacity, and P nuclear magnetic resonance
experiments on polycrystalline samples, as well as density-functional
band-structure calculations. The temperature-dependent unit cell volume could
be described well using the Debye approximation with the Debye temperature of
550~K. Magnetic response reveals a pronounced
two-dimensionality with a magnetic long-range-order below ~K. High-field magnetization exhibits a kink at of the saturation
magnetization. Asymmetric P NMR spectra clearly suggest strong in-plane
anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility, as anticipated from the crystal
structure. From the P NMR shift vs bulk susceptibility plot, the
isotropic and axial parts of the hyperfine coupling between P nuclei and
the Cu spins are calculated to be and
~Oe/, respectively. The
low-temperature and low-field P NMR spectra indicate a commensurate
antiferromagnetic ordering. Frustrated nature of the compound is inferred from
the temperature-dependent P NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate and
confirmed by our microscopic analysis that reveals strong frustration of the
square cupola by next-nearest-neighbor exchange couplings.Comment: 11 pages, 13 figures, 1 table, Phys. Rev. B (Accepted, 2018
