Price fluctuations and currency exchange rates will be felt by breeders, as well as people’s purchasing power which will greatly affect the livestock business sector. Population growth causes a region’s Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) to change. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of economic growth and population on the welfare of breeders. This research method uses a quantitative approach that emphasizes the analysis of numerical data processed by statistical methods and literature study. The literature study is related to macroeconomic indicators, namely the population and welfare of breeders. Secondary data uses data from the Subang Regency Livestock and Animal Health Service, the West Java Province Food Security and Livestock Service Office, the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) Subang Regency, and West Java BPS as well as data from related journals and articles. Data analysis using multiple regression analysis techniques. The results showed that there was a significant influence between economic growth and population on the welfare of breeders in Subang Regency. This research shows that the welfare of smallholder breeders is influenced by economic growth and population. The higher the economic growth and population of an area, the higher the level of welfare of breeders in that area.","PeriodicalId":298661,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Economics and Business Innovation","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125046677","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}

In the midst of a pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, this way of working has become an inevitable form of business. Overnight, one had to adjust to the “new normality” and accept a new way of working from home. This way of working has positive and negative effects on the job itself and on the individual. These issues have been addressed in a number of studies that have identified different impacts of distance business on productivity, as well as on all participants in the business process. Research shows that there are a number of positive effects on employees of different companies, but also some negative effects. Most of the research covered by this paper, 81.82% of them, found that this way of working has no negative effects on productivity. Also, 63.64% of papers showed that the consequences for employees are mostly positive. Remote work has had a number of implications for businesses and individuals as it has become more widespread, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. While it has been shown to have mostly positive effects on productivity and employee well-being in many studies, there are also some negative impacts that have been identified. It is important for businesses and individuals to carefully consider the benefits and drawbacks of remote work and to implement strategies to address any potential negative effects.","PeriodicalId":298661,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Economics and Business Innovation","volume":"164 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127323310","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}

This paper used primary data from 400 employees in Bangladesh’s banking industry through a questionnaire, of which 310 were returned for the purpose of testing study hypotheses. PLS-SEM has been used for data analysis and the result shows that the functional conflict has a favorable link to organizational success. Additionally, it has been discovered that HRM practices have a substantial impact on organizational effectiveness and can change dysfunctional conflict into functional conflict. The finding in this study reveals that there is a strong correlation between dysfunctional conflict and organizational success.

The specific objectives of this study were to: examine the impact of external debt stock on economic growth in Nigeria; assess the impact of external debt servicing on economic growth in Nigeria and investigate the extent to which external debt interest has impacted on economic growth in Nigeria. It was discovered that debt is synonymous to underdevelopment, poverty, unemployment which has led to low living standard of the people and Nigeria’s huge debt stock has prevented it from embarking on higher domestic investment which would lead to higher growth and development which is a major problem to Nigeria.

It is emerging as a powerful device to bring uniformity to financial reporting by companies at the global level. Due to rapid industrialization and internationalization, the countries opened their avenue to foreign corporations. Therefore, it has been necessitated to have an accounting system that could bring uniformity and acceptability to financial reporting across borders. This review article has explored the present situation of the IFRS in the light of its emergence at the global level. The paper also proposes the model by merging the IFRS constructs with FDI, robust financial information reporting, transparency, and comparability construct by drawing together and developing the scale for measuring quality financial information through International Financial reporting standards based on existing literature. Against this backdrop, the present review paper seeks to highlight different dimensions and the pros and cons of using the International Financial Reporting Standard across borders.

Moreover, firms play a major role in the country’s economy; hence, this study empirically analyzes the impact of export and diversification on the performance of firms in Pakistan. This paper utilizes World Bank enterprise data for Pakistani firms across the whole country for the years 2007 and 2013, it is a panel data comprising 454 firms. The dependent variable for this study is sales per employee that we use as our performance measure and the independent variables are Export in terms of Export intensity and Geographic diversification in terms of an inverse measure named export concentration calculated by the Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI). For analysis, this paper utilizes Panel EGLS (estimated generalized least square) and the estimation suggests that exports and diversification both positively and significantly correlated in their respective sample. Nonetheless, there is an endogeneity issue with Panel EGLS and to counter that two-stage Panel EGLS is used with “average days to clear customs” as an instrumental variable (IV). Results show a positive association of exports with firm performance again. However, the diversification variable proved to be exogenous as per the exogeneity bias test, so its IV results are not robust. Thus, the findings indicate that Pakistani firms perform better if they export, thus supporting the learning by exporting hypothesis, in addition to their exports being geographically diversified.","PeriodicalId":298661,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Economics and Business Innovation","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115706905","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}
