Currently Bangladesh's exports of readymade garments (RMG) benefit from international support measures which allows preferential trade in major export destinations, such as the EU. After graduation, Bangl adesh’s exports, in particular RMG, will face competition from mega trading blocs, such as RCEP and CPTPP. This paper employs a CGE GTAP model to estimate the impact of Bangladesh's graduation from the LDC category and how mega FTAs are likely to affect Bangladesh's exports (sectoral and total) and potential welfare. The model also considers the scenarios of either USA or the UK, or both joining the CPTPP. The model results show that Bangladesh’s graduation will lead to a fall in GDP and RMG exports by 1.53 % and 11.8%, respectively. The negative impact is magnified when we factor in the mega-trading blocs. Further negative impacts are observed when either USA or the UK, or both join the CPTPP.","PeriodicalId":46618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48807636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is assumed that each consumer borrows from multiple institutions, so those institutions share risks from the same consumers regardless of the quality or type of loan. We constructed a financial network comprising those institutions and computed a contagion index based on their interconnections using a weight of probability of default for the individual borrowers. We found strong connection between banking institutions and credit card firms because of the convenience of making small loans using credit cards. However, with a weighted probability of default to the linkages among institutions, the connections between banking institutions and savings banks, non-credit card finance corporations and merchant banks are stronger than others, while banking institutions hold a central position and are exposed to the largest amount of loans individually. The contagion index hit a peak in 2013Q1 and then fell rapidly, before fluctuating at a relatively low level from 2016 to 2017Q2. The results enabled authorities to monitor systemic risk from the level of consumer credit, while accounting for specific types of consumers and their probability of default. This paper’s main contribution is its construction of a network of financial institutions from the level of consumer credit.</p>","PeriodicalId":46618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy","volume":"83 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138507128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study reviews the relevant literature and considers the possible significance of fiscal decentralisation in the convergence process. Alternative indicators of fiscal decentralization are examined within a SDM model which also takes into account possible spatial interdependencies between neighbouring regions. The model- ling suggests that fiscal decentralization does appear to play a significant role in the convergence process in Vietnam. Income inequality remains a challenging issue for policymakers to resolve, and if regional disparities can be reduced in part through fiscal decentralization, this is a significant finding for policy formulation.","PeriodicalId":46618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42480869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
