The study considers a number of measures of financial development that are: private credit to GDP, M2/GDP, the ratio of commercial bank assets to the total of commercial bank assets and central bank assets. We also take growth rate of real GDP as dependent variable and few core control variables of economic growth. This study employs as well panel time series data over the year of 1980-2012 for each indicator for a split sample of 11 MENA countries. In order to measure the impact, this study analyzes the data by applying panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) framework of pooled mean group (PMG), mean group (MG) and Dynamic fixed effect (DFE) estimators. The result obtained from PMG estimators demonstrates that the financial intermediary has a negative effect on the growth rate in the MENA countries in the short and long run. The paper concludes by pointing out directions to improve financial development in the MENA countries by applying more financial reforms to promote competition in the financial sector and financial structure expansion that reflects in the improvement of the quality and quantity of financial services. On the other hand, taking further steps to create an appropriate legal environment may further help the MENA countries to reap the utmost benefits by maximizing the potential role of the financial system in the real sector.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100115,"journal":{"name":"Arab Economic and Business Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"Pages 72-85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.aebj.2016.03.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83293911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This happens through trying to identify the extent of the application of social responsibility within the nine following dimensions: community, environment, customers, employees, shareholders, government, suppliers, competitors, minorities and people with special needs. In order to achieve that, the researchers selected a random sample of 170 employees of the study population and the bank employees in the scope of various aspects of their work. Questionnaires were also distributed to managers of banks directorates and branches; they included 45 paragraphs about social responsibility and 16 paragraphs about competitive advantage. Data were integrated into the computer and processed using SPSS statistical program. The study concluded that social responsibility is a subject of interest, along with competitive advantage for banks. It also found out that there is a relationship between social responsibility and competitive advantage among directorates and branches under study.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100115,"journal":{"name":"Arab Economic and Business Journal","volume":"10 2","pages":"Pages 112-129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.aebj.2015.06.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80323587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By 2020, the median age of Indian population will be 29 years and owing to the absolute population of India, the presence in Indian market will be rewarding for the multinationals. But the twenty-something targets, because of their ‘variety seeking’ disposition, are a challenge, even for the most experienced marketers. The marketers create brands with a vision to create sustained loyalty, which however gets diluted by consumers coveting for ‘something new’ and ‘something different’. As a defensive, the marketers are now attempting to create an emotional bond with the customers. This phenomenon is termed as brand love and it is likely to influence desirable marketing outcomes such as commitment, positive word of mouth by customers, etc. This research attempts to explore the perceived ‘brand love’ of young Indians. A structured, non-disguised questionnaire was used, data was collected through personal interviews and a total of 160 complete questionnaires were obtained. The findings describe the comparative status of brands loved by the Indian consumers and will help marketers to understand their perceived brand image, customer engagement and attitude of customers towards their brands.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100115,"journal":{"name":"Arab Economic and Business Journal","volume":"10 2","pages":"Pages 90-101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.aebj.2015.04.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78882935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the study examines multiple factors i.e., education, unemployment, poverty and economic growth which contributed to the rate of crimes in Pakistan during the period of 1972-2011. The study finds a positive relationship between crime rates and unemployment rate in Pakistan. Higher unemployment diminishes the rate of return of legal activities, and is more likely to increase the return of illegal activities. There is a significant negative relationship between the crime rates and the higher education. More education directly induces high earnings of individuals and may increase both the opportunity cost of crimes and the cost of time spent in criminal activity. The study further assesses that GDP per capita leads to higher crime rates in the long-run but to lower rates in the short-run. Higher income shows that there are greater benefits for criminals as for thefts and robberies. Affluent areas attract more criminals due to the opportunities available to them. Finally, there is a positive relationship between the crime rates and poverty in the long-run but there is a negative relationship in the short-run. Poverty may lead to a high level of stress and mental illness which in turn causes individuals to adopt the criminal behavior. The study posits a caution that policy formulation in ameliorating crimes in Pakistan should anchor both social and economic factors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100115,"journal":{"name":"Arab Economic and Business Journal","volume":"10 2","pages":"Pages 73-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.aebj.2015.01.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77487930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
