As Quantity Theory of Money Is Illogically Derived from Definition Instead Premises, Marx Illogically Constructed the Whole Book of Das Kapital on Inconsistent Premises 由于货币数量理论是不合乎逻辑地从定义而不是从前提推导出来的，马克思在不一致的前提上不合乎逻辑地构建了《资本论》全书

Theory is composed of logical inferences by which we derive conclusions from premises. One of methods that test the truth of a theory is to investigate the consistency of premises because a theory that is constructed on inconsistent premises will lead to contradictory conclusions. Labor theory of value and profit pursuing based on the analysis of supply and demand (i.e., maximum return rate on capital) are two premises in Das Kapital. This paper shows that labor theory of value and maximum return rate on capital are inconsistent logically because maximum return rate on capital does not operate under labor theory of value and this conclusion is logically contradictory to the premise that maximum return rate on capital operates. Further, shifting in supply curve or demand curve leads to logical contradiction between market monetary price and value while Marx stated that market monetary price is value in money form. Thus, the whole book of Das Kapital is illogical. I also demonstrate that dialectical contradiction and logical contradiction are different. Thus, Marxian cannot deny this paper by the argument that all logical contradictions are dialectic contradiction so that all logical contradictions in Das Kapital are not wrong because real world is dialectical.

The Vector Autoregressive approach and the Granger causality test were used, with daily data. The periods considered were: i) period of crisis (03/14/2007 to 03/31/2010); and ii) post-crisis period (04/01/2010 to 12/30/2019). The results revealed that in the Subprime crisis, the interrelations were intense, especially in the stock and exchange markets. IBOVESPA and Brazilian exchange rate were predominantly affected by the US, German and UK equity markets. Evidence in the post-crisis period showed considerably lesser interrelationships between the Brazilian financial market and foreign financial markets. Thus, the results confirmed that the crisis significantly intensified interrelations, with the main contagion channels as the stock markets and the foreign exchange markets.","PeriodicalId":37166,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Finance Studies","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78283494","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}

Evidence From Malawi","authors":"Joseph Paul Chunga, Yu Ping","doi":"10.5539/ijef.v15n5p26","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5539/ijef.v15n5p26","url":null,"abstract":"It is no secret that the Malawi Stock Exchange (MSE) is still in its infancy. In 2011, the Malawi government in conjunction with the World Bank launched the Financial Sector Technical Assistance Project (FSTAP). The project targeted an improvement in financial literacy and also the automation of trading on the MSE to an advanced stage so as to improve market efficiency. This paper investigated the weak form and semi-strong efficient market hypotheses on the Malawi Stock Market in the wake of such a project with aid of parametric and non-parametric tests. The weak form efficiency of the market is tested by the application of Lo and MacKinlay’s Variance ratio test, the Cumby-Huizinga autocorrelation test and the Phillips-Perron unit root test. An adjustment to the methodology suggested by Borges (2009) is employed to ascertain the presence of market anomalies and by extension test out semi-strong form of efficiency. The paper employed more recent and comprehensive data stretching back to January 2010 through to June, 2022, amounting to 12years and 6months. Results are in support of weak form efficiency. However, the paper found significant evidence against semi-strong efficiency of the MSE. Calendar effects like day-of-the-week effect and turn-of-the-year effect were deemed to be absent from the market but turn-of-the-month effect was existent. Results of applying the Fama and French three-factor model to a time series regression reveal the presence of size and value effects. As such, the paper concludes that the Malawi Stock Market is weak-form efficient but semi-strong inefficient.","PeriodicalId":37166,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Finance Studies","volume":"81 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87993292","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}

Data from three different time frames - 1991-2019 (29 countries), 1994-2018 (35 countries), and 2008-2018 (39 countries) – was analyzed, and the lags of endogenous variables were used as instruments to address endogeneity issues in the dynamic model. The variables were transformed into growth rates to ensure stationarity and were estimated using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The results were reported after removing both panel-specific and time-specific fixed effects. The study found a positive relationship between Total External Debt Stocks growth and Gross Domestic Product growth, which became more significant with the increase in the sample timeframe. The findings showed that a 100% increase in Total External Debt growth would lead to a 4-7% increase in Gross Domestic Product growth. The positive relationship was confirmed by the transmission of shocks from Total External Debt growth to Gross Domestic Product growth, but it lasted only for two periods and quickly returned to an equilibrium state. The relationship between Gross National Expenditure growth and the other variables was not conclusively established due to its lack of consistent and stable behavior with the other variables. The Stata package “pvar” was employed for data analysis and inferential conclusions.","PeriodicalId":37166,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Finance Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75336531","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}

Financially motivated threat actors also do businesses; as such, with a higher sophistication level, they create tools and provide them as Malware as a Service (MaaS) for renting, and if they can extract accounts, they launder those amounts of cash through hardly traceable channels. In contrast, state-sponsored threat actors act according to the government’s political and military needs. \u0000 \u0000The Russian government lets independent threat actors freely conduct various cyberattacks, including cyber espionage, sabotage, and ransomware attacks on non-Russian geolocations and entities, meanwhile financing its threat actors to achieve social and political activities. As such, providing a thought experiment, the paper examines the potential income of a for-profit organization, the related tax income, and the costs of operating a government-related threat actor. To conduct the analysis, it provides a methodological approach and applies that to TA542 and APT28 threat actors, using inputs from open-source intelligence.","PeriodicalId":37166,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Finance Studies","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78177644","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}

However, the majority of the research is characterised by the following two challenges: first, the analyses are often limited to public sources of revenue and, therefore, exclude private sources; and second, the transaction costs are measured based on self-declared information about administrative costs. \u0000 \u0000The article contributes to the field of research in two ways. First, the contribution is made through an analytical model that brings together private and public revenue streams in a single model, providing a unique opportunity to compare the transaction costs from these two sources. Second, in this article, transaction costs are measured based on the actual development in the number of administrative academic full-time equivalents (FTEs) in the organisations. The latter attribute also achieves a better link to the theory in the field, which precisely focuses on administrative employees. \u0000 \u0000The article derived data from a longitudinal dataset for 2012‒17 with the accounts for revenue in the nationwide voluntary social organisations and register data from Statistics Denmark on the education and working hours of employees in organisations. The article finds that targeted project funds (that is, earmarked funding) from private sources have significantly higher transaction costs than government project funds and general public operating grants. Smaller organisations were also shown to generally have higher costs when striving to secure funding than larger organisations with economies of scale.","PeriodicalId":37166,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Finance Studies","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83820152","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}
