Design/methodology/approach The applies partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique using Smart PLS3 a combined data set from World Bank Enterprise Survey follow-up Innovation for India 2014. Different newly developed statistical tests [PLS...

The purpose of the study is to analyze trade performance Bangladesh during COVID-19 pandemic. identifies effects private consumption demand shock and disruptions due higher costs caused by pandemic on export import in different sectors compares analysis results with actual data. Based previous literature, this assumes shocks levels such as low, medium, high level their Bangladesh. applies CGE model using GTAP measure output simulated results. suggest that both substantially affect export,...

Due to the gradual expansion of marine fisheries and seafood trade in world market, economic sectors are emerging as an influential catalyst for growth Bangladesh it possesses a long water area. This study aims at finding out driving forces export Bangladesh.

The objective of the study is to identify impact trade policy on two significant goals sustainable development namely poverty and income inequality in emerging economies. Using openness facilitation as a measure examines their Gini coefficient average poorest quintile proxy headcount ratio gap at $1.90 per day (2011 PPP) indicators extreme poverty. It applies dynamic panel data model with datasets over period 1986-2013 for 2005-2013 economies based availability data. findings suggest that...

This study identifies the differential effect of sectoral composition trade on trade-energy consumption–economic growth nexus for China from 1992–2015. We divided into five broad sectors—high tech (HT), medium (MT), low (LT), primary products (PP), and resource-based (RB)—based technology intensity. VAR VEC models are applied depending time series properties cointegration among variables. The finds that in different sectors has effects energy consumption. It is also evident LT PP do not have...

This study identifies the effect of sectoral composition trade on inequality in emerging economies. We separate export and import into four broad sectors such as agriculture; labor-intensive manufacturing; capital-intensive manufacturing service, measure revealed comparative advantage (RCA) each sector. then identify growing export; import; these inequality. The applies dynamic panel data model to a dataset 31 economies over 1994-2014. take both relative absolute measures solve debate...

This study identified long-run and short-run relationship as well causal direction of medium high tech (MHT) trade (proxy for tech-intensive trade), economic growth CO2 emissions in BRICS the period 1992-2015 applying ARDL bound test approach error-correction based Granger causality. The disequilibrium (non-stationary) characteristics China during 1992-2014, along with unavailability MHT data prior to 1992, constrained analysis among variables country. found that structural change did not...
