The research showed that the scope of cargo turnover in million tons per kilometer produces the largest positive impact on the efficiency of the regional transportation system. Another significant positive factor is the volume of investment into capital assets of the relevant organizations. Apparently, the growth of capital investment into basic production assets allows increasing the cargo turnover of transportation companies, which is reflected on the scope of transportation services per capita. At the same time, the growth of passenger turnover (million passengers per kilometer) leads to a decrease in the resulting index. In our opinion, this can be due to competition within a sector. Specifically, a high level of roads loading, including with public transport, leads to an increase of unproductive loss of working time for business, delays and, consequently, reduced volume of goods turnover.","PeriodicalId":54088,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Financial Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89690527","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 study reached a set of results, by measuring the income elasticity of demand for 77 types of commodities and services: such as the convergence between the consumer response to the movement of each income and price among the commodities in the Jordanian economy and in other countries, where fresh fish is on the list of luxury commodities among fish and meat. What explains this is the shortage of this commodity offered quantities in the Jordanian market and its high prices. Thus, the presence of very low-income elasticity of ’garlic’ commodity at the level (0.092), which indicates that this commodity cannot be abandoned in case of low income.","PeriodicalId":54088,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Financial Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85425733","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 recent Brazilian experience clearly shows that stabilization, in and of itself, is not capable of recovering the investment rates. With this in mind, this study’s goal is to answer, with the help of econometric simulation models, the questions: (i) what are the key-drivers to assess the Brazilian economy?; and (ii) what are the key-factors to be considered when investments are made, particulary in innovation? To answer the questions we evaluated the impacts of macro-economic variables on private investments, using a strategic bias and a long term vision plan. The estimates demonstrate empirical crowding-in evidence of public investments in innovation over private investments as a real impact to productivity. As for public invetsments (non-infrastructural) we suggest that the crowding-in impact dislocates private investments. All these indicators were obtained as presented in the therory, with the exception of the real interest rates variable (r), in which we observed that the coefficient is positive and insignificant in the estimated equation.","PeriodicalId":54088,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Financial Engineering","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87259187","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 functioning of this system is of great importance in the activities of a construction company, since the quality of products is one of the main evaluation criteria of its activities; therefore, the analysis of the financial component of this system is of primary importance in terms of evaluating the final quality of construction products. The relevance of the subject matter is determined by the need for a thorough study of the features of the functioning of construction enterprises in terms of the financial component of the activity of the quality management system of manufactured products in order to create effective control tools and improve various aspects of their activities. The purpose of this study is to identify the main aspects that affect the financial performance of construction companies in terms of trends in improving the quality of products. The leading approach in this study is a combination of a system analysis of the features of the functioning of enterprises in the construction sector with an analytical study of the financial component of the activities of enterprises in the construction sector in the context of the functioning of the product quality management system of these companies. The main results obtained in the course of this study should be considered an assessment of the economic efficiency of the activities of the construction organisations selected as an example of quality management systems in Almaty, as well as a statement of differences in the activities of the construction companies selected for the analysis of quality management systems.

Furthermore, the price of oil and gold is used as exogenous variables in the conditional mean equation of the GARCH (1,1) model to assess the volatility of stock indices KSE-100 (Pakistan), BSESN (India) and NASDAQ (USA). Moreover, the data covering the period from 1st June 2018 to 31st December 2022 are divided into pre-COVID-19 (1st June 2018 to 30th January 2020) and during-COVID-19 (31st January 2020 to 31st December 2022. Findings reveal that the stock market dependency of NASDAQ experienced oil and gold impact followed by pre-COVID-19 and during-COVID-19 periods, respectively. Whereas, the Indian stock market had a significant impact on gold and oil during the COVID-19 period but the Pakistani stock market was not influenced by oil and gold in the entire considered study period.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The dynamic two-step system GMM approach is applied on bank-level data of a panel set of 31 commercial banks of Pakistan, over the period 2006 to 2022. For robustness, the selected period is further divided into three time spans, 2006–2010, 2011–2019, and 2019–2022, and to explore size-efficiency association among different size categories, the entire data is divided into two groups. Findings: The study reveals two key outcomes. First, size is a c ore variable in describing efficiency movement in Pakistan as a significant positive relationship is evinced between bank size and net interest margin in both groups even in the period of COVID-19. Second, both market power and economies of scale strongly influence size–efficiency relationship. However, the impact of these variables is insignificant for medium and small banks. Further, all bank-specific and macroeconomic variables are significantly allied with banking efficiency. Originality: The study is premiered to examine the bank size–efficiency relationship in the light of market power and economies of scale for the banking sector of Pakistan. The originality of this research is the deep examination of bank size–efficiency relationship with two effectual macroeconomic variables. Research Implications: The core policy implication is that size is a fundamental factor while market power and economies of scale are driving forces of size–efficiency association in Pakistan.","PeriodicalId":54088,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Financial Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41381736","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}
