This study investigated the link between exchange rate and foreign trade through the prism of exchange rate pass-through (EXRPT) to domestic prices, utilizing monthly data from 2011 to 2022. The study was built on two models—the base and main models respectively. Employing the VAR technique and its Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) extension, the paper found that EXRPT to consumer prices is incomplete in the short run but its effect was found to be higher on imports than on consumer prices. It follows that the impact of EXRPT diminishes along the price chain. Results from the main model indicate that the impact of domestic prices on balance of trade was found to be negative with elasticity of −0.437541and is also statistically significant, thus, confirming the Marshal-Lenner condition. The Marshal-Lenner condition and findings of this study provide evidence that depreciating exchange rate is not recommended for an import inelastic country like Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":447992,"journal":{"name":"Financial Statistical Journal","volume":" 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141828328","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}

Findings are quite telling. We find that financial development reduces the shadow economy in a significant manner, in both the long- and short-run. This finding is robust to the use of alternative measures of financial development. Our results have far reaching implications. Firstly, findings indicate that financial structure plays a key role in mitigating the increase of the shadow economy given that the financial sector can provide access to credit that eases financial constraints faced by entrepreneurs. Thus, a well-functioning financial sector could facilitate access to credit by entrepreneurs which reduces their motivation to operate underground. These findings seem to suggest that reforming financial institutions to facilitate improved access to domestic credit could help tackle widespread informality in developing economies. Additionally, minimizing informality also requires reforming the political system, institutional framework and macroeconomic environment to become responsive to the needs of businesses.","PeriodicalId":447992,"journal":{"name":"Financial Statistical Journal","volume":" 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141830457","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}

The primary function of every government is to make provision in terms of infrastructure facilities, development, and better living conditions for its people. Due to the government’s limited resources, it is necessary to impose taxes on all residents and businesses to strengthen its financial situation because it is impossible for it to carry out this large task in an effective manner. Governments have always passed numerous tax laws, and they have been amended to withstand the test of time. Therefore, this study’s goal is to determine whether taxes have an impact on economic development in the Cape Coast Metropolis in Ghana. The study used the quantitative approach, survey technique, and questionnaire for the data collection process. A sample size of 115 respondents comprising the staff of the domestic tax revenue division’s workforce and owners of registered SMEs were engaged in the study. The data was analyzed using the SPSS version 26. The results indicated that the majority of the staff of Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) considered payment of tax as beneficial to the state while few of the staff did not consider payment of tax as beneficial to the state. In addition, the study outcomes show that respondents are aware of the extent to which tax revenue can be used by the government for economic development. Furthermore, the researchers recommended that the head of GRA create a strong regulatory framework to monitor how tax money is used for economic growth. They should also make an effort to ensure that the tax revenue generated will be wisely used for the growth of the metropolis. This will make taxpayers appreciate the need to pay their taxes because they know they will benefit from it in the end in the form of social and economic developments.","PeriodicalId":447992,"journal":{"name":"Financial Statistical Journal","volume":"37 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140728347","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}

The presented model for market makers’ behavior on stochastic auction markets contributes practically to the field of studying portfolio optimization, risk management, market participants’ balance processes, and prediction problems via cutting-edge machine learning and statistics approaches. The reliability of the given model is proved practically with the help of modern machine learning methods of validation, namely, combinatorial splits. A client-server model for remote simulation was implemented, as well as interpreted language in C++. XGBoost, Catboost, LSTM, NN Ensemble, and H2O Auto-ML models were considered in the course of building the decision model. Hyperparameters were obtained via Optuna. Besides that, the developed model was backtested on historical data of different financial assets, starting with stocks and ending with commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. Within all models, positive Sharpe ratios have been obtained, which indicates the robustness of the model. The paper offers a valuable framework for market maker decision-making stochastic modeling, examining its pricing mechanisms and financial risk management as crucial for exchanges, funds, and other financial institutions, which makes it relevant in the context of the current dynamics of the development of financial markets and the increase in trading volumes.","PeriodicalId":447992,"journal":{"name":"Financial Statistical Journal","volume":"27 2-4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139265205","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}

Its vast potential has transcended industries and possesses the capacity to transform domains as diverse as healthcare and online gaming fundamentally. However, Blockchain technology has thus far demonstrated its most efficient and effective application within the financial sector. The financial industry has benefited significantly by adapting this new technology (Blockchain) in terms of transactional transparency, security, and operational effectiveness. Blockchain is made feasible by developing immutable, decentralized, and distributed ledgers that can be viewed in real-time by numerous parties without intermediaries. As a result, transaction processing is secure and dependable, reducing the likelihood of fraud, errors, and delays. Because of their decentralized nature and smart contract technology, these instruments permit the establishment of novel financial services, such as P2P lending, decentralized insurance, and decentralized asset management. Rapid Blockchain adoption revolutionizes the financial sector, ushering in a new era of innovation and upheaval.","PeriodicalId":447992,"journal":{"name":"Financial Statistical Journal","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135969559","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}

Some of these banks work more with return on investment compared to risk-free return, while others are able to achieve a higher return for the same period. In this situation, there is a need for a trade-off between the elected strategies as expressed in the following research question: How can financial strategies be traded-off to cope with financial failure? The research hypothesis is: “The trade-off between financial strategies to cope with financial failure can be achieved by using financial modeling.” For the purpose of this research, the merger and acquisition strategies were used. Data was collected from the financial reports of 13 banks (covering the period of 2011–2020). Eight banks were selected and examined for their lowest and highest return on assets (ROAs). Four recorded low ROAs and the remaining four recorded high ROAs. Then, one bank was selected from each group, of which respective strategies were compared covering the period from 2016 to 2021. The financial modeling using the Excel program showed that the Eps of merger strategy is higher than the Eps of acquisition.","PeriodicalId":447992,"journal":{"name":"Financial Statistical Journal","volume":"259 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116227377","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}
