The study demonstrates the correlation connecting financial development and economic growth from the range of time, 1974 - 2014. For checking the stationarity of variables, Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Philip-Peron (P.P) unit root technique is applied. To elaborate long-run relationship, ARDL (autoregressive distributed lag) and Bound test is conducted. By ARDL technique, study investigate that Gross Domestic Product, Money supply, Exchange rate, Gross fixed capital formation, Domestic Savings and Trade Openness are assimilated. According to research findings: economic growth directly related to money supply (M2) and domestic saving in long-run but money supply illustrates insignificant impact. The study uses GDP as endogenous variable and represents Economic growth. While M2 as exogenous variable which represents financial development and financial liberalization. Current researches seek to establish direct relation of economic growth with trade openness and money supply. Pakistani researchers aim to examine the association of economic policies with financial satisfaction over the globe.

In spite of tremendous change in how businesses raise financing, many businesses still use trade credit as an alternative source of financing. The study is helpful in decision making for business schemes to occupy the risk factor in profit generation through the use of trade credit. Due to lack of funding’s for the businesses there is increase in risk the borrower become unable to run the business and therefore want to get finance or goods from any external source that fulfills the objective of the business as the suppliers. Banks require the collateral against the loan offered, as the risky customer has unable to provide any security to be pledged, trade credit serves the best means of short term loan for the customer. The buyer already in risky position tries to find out the short term means that are convenient and less time consuming for the businesses. Panel data has been used for working. The data on which the working is applied consisted of fifteen years i.e: from 2001-2015. The methodology used in the working is the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). GMM is helpful for the problem raised because of the correlation amount the independent variables and the error term known as endogeneity problem as well as the heterogeneity of firms. J-statistics indicates that the instruments applied in the model are significant.","PeriodicalId":382841,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Economics and Finance","volume":"214 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122378791","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}

Having a deep understanding of the whole gamut of poverty, this study attempts to empirically investigate that whether a causal link exists between poverty reduction and economic development or not? And if it exists, then what is the direction of that causal link. The Panel data cover 26 developing countries, on the basis of the availability of data, for the years from 1994 to 2015. Through Co-integration to Pairwise Granger Causality Test & Granger Causality based on VEC Model, this study analyses the causality between poverty reduction and economic development. This study, apart from poverty reduction, also incorporates some other independent variables affecting economic development. The trickle-up theory, adopted in this study, explains the channels through which poverty reduction could cause economic development. The main conclusion drawn from the empirical results is that a causal link running from poverty reduction to economic development exists. This implies that poverty reduction causes economic development.","PeriodicalId":382841,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Economics and Finance","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130763227","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}

We have found that demographic characteristic such as marital status does not play any significant role in determining their investment trading behavior. The structured survey is used to collect data through a personal administration of individual investors belonging to PSX and brokerage firm. Further we use ANOVA and multiple regression to analyze the data collected from primary methods. The evidence suggests that retail investors’ self-confidence is function of both expected and unexpected changes in the market and personal factors which shape the retail investors trading behaviors. The self-confidence and portfolio size are positively related which means that over confident individual investors believe that they have great knowledge and skills. This relationship would help them to perform better than others as over confidence leads them to hold big portfolios","PeriodicalId":382841,"journal":{"name":"Sukkur IBA Journal of Economics and Finance","volume":"169 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134444007","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}
