Export is affected by several factors and there are abundance of studies and theories in this field; however, the effect of institutional factors on exportation has not received much appropriate attention. This study, therefore, investigates the effect of corruption control indicator, as a key institutional component, on exportation of industrial products using Panal data. Furthermore, the population consists of 14 developing countries during the period 2002–2012. The results of the estimation model confirm the positive and significant effect of corruption control on export industries of the selected countries. Along with explanatory variable of the corruption control, the variables of exchange rate and income were examined as well, which indicate the negative and significant effect of the real exchange rate and positive and significant effect of countries ’income on export industries. The results of the present study demonstrate that in these countries, in order to have an appropriate plan for the development of industrial exports from policymakers, proper assessment of institutional components like corruption control must be taken into account.","PeriodicalId":268303,"journal":{"name":"Siddhant- A Journal of Decision Making","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133990298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Melting of Arctic at an alarming speed, rising sea level, shrinking of cryosphere and death of polar bears are serious indications of global climatic change. Millions of questions are being raised on the sustainability of ozone which saves the earth from greenhouse effect. It is high time for all of us to think of alternatives to mitigate global warming. Climate change impact can be avoided, reduced, or delayed if an effective global climate change mitigation policy is agreed upon and implemented. Basically, there are two approaches to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions: command and control approach and incentivebased approach (i.e., cap-and-trade program and carbon tax program). This paper emphasizes on carbon tax program for mitigating CO2 and other gaseous emissions. It also considers carbon tax as the best approach over other approaches to combat global warming. The paper also highlights the scope for implementation of carbon tax in the Indian subcontinent and computes reduction of emissions for different scenarios based on the projected consumption pattern, with the assumed changes in carbon tax and the present tax rate. The proportion of reduction from the current tax scenario has been computed to provide an impression of the relative change with the change in taxation.","PeriodicalId":268303,"journal":{"name":"Siddhant- A Journal of Decision Making","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133749837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that all CG variables used for the study had positive association with performance. Organisations are encouraged to adopt good CG practices to improve their performance and also to protect the interest of the shareholders. The main contribution of the study to acknowledge lies in its effort in strengthening CG beyond the rights and responsibilities of different stakeholders in the management of an organisation into areas involving the relationship between participation, evaluation, fiscal compliance, transparency, disclosure and organisational performance (OP) (productive, independent verification and branch growth). This contribution has in no small measure enhanced our understanding about the interpretations which have shaped CG in relation to OP both in theory and practice.","PeriodicalId":268303,"journal":{"name":"Siddhant- A Journal of Decision Making","volume":"21 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126074190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A sample of 300 respondents from top three performing banks namely ICICI, HDFC and Axis of Delhi – NCR was taken.
