Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Economic Growth of China after Economic Reform

After the reformation and open-door policy, the economic and financial expansion of China has been faster than before. This study examines the impact of FDI on economic growth in China empirically. The paper uses time-series data over a period spanning from 1982 – 2019. From the results, FDI and trade have a positive impact on the GDP growth rate. The effects of each of the endogenous variables are examined via the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The study shows that there exist long-run associations between the FDI and the growth of GDP in China and short-run causality is found between them Research paper Keywords: FDI; Economic Growth; VECM Model; Economic Reform Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Majumder, S.

Does Current Account Increase the Economic Growth in Bangladesh? The Analysis of GMM Technique

Current account balance has played a role to enhance economic growth in Bangladesh. The major concentration of this study is to analyze the current account components of the balance of payment (BOP). This paper deals with quarterly base data from 2012Q3 to 2019Q4. The Generalized Method of Movement (GMM) technique has been implied to measuring the current account impact on economic growth. Four models have been developed where the estimated models deal with the current account balance (CAB) as the key variable. The result of model-1 represents that the current account has a negative relationship with economic growth in consideration of merchandise goods export and import. Model-2 to 4 represents that the current account has a positive impact on economic growth in Bangladesh. The sufficient current account is expected towards the purpose of financial and economic development where trade balance and service account have a significant role.

Implementation of Q Learning and Deep Q Network For Controlling a Self Balancing Robot Model

In this paper, the implementation of two Reinforcement learnings namely, Q Learning and Deep Q Network(DQN) on a Self Balancing Robot Gazebo model has been discussed. The goal of the experiments is to make the robot model learn the best actions for staying balanced in an environment. The more time it can stay within a specified limit , the more reward it accumulates and hence more balanced it is. Different experiments with different learning parameters on Q Learning and DQN are conducted and the plots of the experiments are shown.Comment: It is under review process of a journa

The Impact of Exchange Rate Volatility on Export and Import in Bangladesh

This study examines the impact of exchange rate volatility on trade in Bangladesh to know the export, import risk, and leverage effect. Time-series implies monthly basis data from 2013M01 to 2019M06. The IFS, BB and FREED are the main data source for selected variables and this study conducts the ARCH, GARCH, EGARCH model to estimate the results. Major findings of the current study are GARCH models estimate that the exchange rate volatility creates a negative impact on trade but the EGARCH model estimates there is no leverage effect in the studied country. In addition that the findings of this study are to support the economic theory and activities in the aspect of Bangladesh's economy.  This perusal suggesting that the total trade volume will be increased with respect to time and stability in macroeconomic variables

Impact of Economic and Noneconomic Factors on Inflow of Remittances into Bangladesh: Application of Robust Least Squares Method

Purpose: Remittance plays an important role in the economy of Bangladesh. It also contributes to the change in the social structure and standard of living. The purpose of the study is to identify the economic and non-economic determinants of the remittance inflow into Bangladesh. Methodology: The study considered two types of variables as the determinants of the remittance inflow: economic and non-economic. Economic determinants of remittances inflows included exchange rate, education, economic growth rate, and market interest rate. The non-economic determinants covered control of corruption, government effectiveness, and political stability. Monthly data were used for the case of economic determinants from 2014 to 2020 and annual data were used in the case of non-economic determinants from 1996 to 2018. The marginal effect of each variable has been analyzed by using the Robust Least Squares (RLS) method. Results: The estimated results of this study state that, economic determinants like capital formation and education factors have a positive and significant impact on remittances inflows in both static and dynamic cases. However, the exchange rate does not create a positive impact due to volatility. The RLS estimation shows the control of corruption has a positive impact on remittances inflows whereas government effectiveness and political stability hurt remittances inflows in Bangladesh. Implications: The current study identified the significant determinates of remittances inflows in Bangladesh. The findings have implications for policy formulation as regard remittances and non-resident Bangladeshis
