    Abstract This study aims to identify a sustainable financing solution for developing the education sector in low-income countries. The United Nations underlines education as a means to achieve sustainable development in its fourth Sustainable Development Goal. Quality education can be crucial in bringing about global peace and prosperity by improving human capital and producing future leaders capable of efficient problem-solving and social transformation. However, imparting quality education is difficult when adequate resources and revenue are lacking. In this respect, the education sectors of most developing countries are resource-constrained, and thus, cannot achieve the fourth sustainable development goal by 2030. To address these confronting challenges, our study proposes the formation of an “Education Development Bank”, particularly in developing countries. It asserts that an independent corporation may provide sustainable financing solutions to bolster the education sector and related organizations. It analyses the data of various developing countries from 1975 to 2021. This proposal has implications for policy formulation for governments that value global peace and for United Nations guidelines.

    Abstract The impact of COVID-19 on stock market dynamics and other macroeconomic indicators has been extensively researched. However, the question of how it affects corporate vulnerability has received less attention. This article aims to fill this gap by examining the implications of COVID-19 on corporate vulnerability in the United States (US) and China, using daily data from January 2020 to December 2021. The empirical results of cointegration analysis demonstrate that COVID-19 considerably worsen corporate vulnerabilities in the long-term in the US and in the short-term in China. Additionally, non-linear results demonstrate long-run asymmetries in the US and short-run asymmetries in China, confirming the accuracy of error prediction and suggesting that US corporations are more exposed to COVID-19-induced risks. The channels through which COVID-19 may affect corporate vulnerability include changes in consumer behavior and demand, disruptions in supply chains, financial stress, government policies and regulations, and changes in the competitive landscape. This study sheds light on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on corporate vulnerability in the US and China, revealing regulatory implications that may necessitate greater government involvement, managerial implications that emphasize risk management and contingency planning, and social implications that highlight the importance of prioritizing stakeholder welfare and embracing digital transformation.

    Abstract This paper investigates how economic policy uncertainty affects firms' frequency and their choice of financial instruments to raise capital. By applying a three-step sequential framework over a sample of 6834 publicly listed US non-financial firms, we find that during periods of high economic uncertainty, firms raise capital more frequently with a preference toward debt financing. The empirical findings suggest that firms prefer debt financing over equity financing to avoid ownership dilution and high equity premia. The rise in leverage during periods of high economic uncertainty highlights the importance of scrutinizing policy tools used to stabilize the economy during such times.

  7. Article: Graph theoretic approach to the energy-induced crisis in Pakistan

    Abstract Pakistan is an energy-deficient country and relies heavily on imported fossil fuels despite significant potential for it to instead develop renewable energy resources. This paper employs a newly developed causality determination scheme known as the Graph Theoretic Approach (GTA), which is based on the modified Peter and Clark algorithm. In this study the energy-inflation causal nexus has been investigated using real time-series data covering the past 30 years (1990–2019) based on nine key variables of the economy, i.e., inflation rate, oil prices, interest rate, money supply, GDP, exchange rate, unit value of import, unit value of export and output shortfalls. Results show that causality runs from energy prices and interest rate to inflation, suggesting that energy prices and interest rate are positively associated with inflation. Moreover, both energy prices and monetary policy have cost-side effects on inflation; however, the latter becomes counterproductive whenever a high interest rate is used to curtail energy-push-inflation. It is concluded that, an increased dependence on imported fossil fuels causes energy-push-inflation. Therefore, policymakers need to incorporate much more renewable energy resources in the fuel mix so that heavy energy import bills can be avoided in the long-run, thereby controlling the cost-side channel of inflation.

    Abstract Volcanic eruptions disturb vegetation at a time it is needed for preventing mudflows. A resilient indigenous non-legume nitrogen-fixing tree that is adapted to the ash and spreads rapidly protects areas downstream in a volcanic landscape in Indonesia. Within the volcanic ring of fire both the long-term benefits (including densely populated, fertile agricultural soils) and short-term ecological disturbance of volcanic ash deposition are clear. Mount Kelud in East Java has erupted on a 15–37-years cycle for the past centuries, most recently in 2014, causing damage to settlements, agricultural land, agroforestry, and watershed protection forests, as the ash deposits caused tree mortality, restricted infiltration, and led to ash flows. Rapid “restoration” or recovery of tree-based vegetation with planted Legume trees (such as Calliandra spp.) has been attempted but is not very effective. However, the non-legume nitrogen-fixing Parasponia rigida, symbiotic with rhizobium bacteria, contrasted to its non-symbiotic sibling (Trema orientalis) has been studied in laboratory conditions, but not in its native environment. We mapped and sampled P. rigida in various locations (upper, middle, and lower elevation positions in ridge-slope-valley toposequences) on the Kelud complex starting 1 year after the latest eruption, estimated biomass development, and quantified P. rigida root nodules in relation to N availability in the ash/soil mixtures in these locations. P. rigida was found as a pioneer tree at elevations between 600 and 1,700 m a.s.l. (above sea level) along ridges, in slope, and valley positions. At lower elevations T. orientalis dominated. Within 3 years of the eruption, stem diameters were 3–10 cm. Up to 93% of P. rigida root nodules were found to be effective, based on the hemoglobin color on cross-sections. Rhizobium bacteria were found in root nodule tissue at densities of two to a hundred times higher than in rhizosphere soil. Between a total soil N content from 0.01 to 0.04% the density of effective nodules decreased from 1,200 to 200 m−2. P. rigida stands in the area, especially at ridges close to the crater deserve to be managed proactively as future seed sources, given the high frequency of eruption episodes, while recovery after eruptions on similar volcanoes can likely be facilitated by tactical assisted seed dispersal if effective seed collection and storage methods can be established.

    Abstract Financial innovation vis-à-vis economic policy uncertainty (EPU) without due regards being given to debt financing. This paper fills this gap and unveils the dynamic role of national culture in defining debt financing via EPU. We use a sample of 3831 non-financial firms of Asian economies and employ the System Generalized Method of Moments to estimate the regression coefficients. Our findings reveal an inverse relationship between the EPU and debt financing, which suggests that debt finance mitigation strategies are successfully executed in the region. The potential reasons for this include the policies by businesses to reduce business activities and avoid the unfavorable rising financing cost through EPU. On the supply side, the rising EPU induces the banks to accelerate their interest rate due to increased default risk. Similarly, we observe that high uncertainty avoidance (UND) has a negative and significant link with debt financing due to an unpleasant behavior of corporate managers towards debt when they have an alternate source of financing instruments instead of accepting long-term obligations. However, we find that the UND and EPU interaction has a significantly positive impact on debt financing due to the rigid behavior of managers, which forces them to consider cultural traits and converts their risk-averse attitude into risk-friendly behavior. This implies that corporate managers should reflect the sensitivity of the national culture while considering debt financing.

    Abstract Zhob Ophiolite complex is composed of three detached blocks named Omzha, Ali Khanzai and Naweoba blocks. The crustal plutonic section of the Naweoba block is mapped and divided into gabbro and granite. Based on petrographical studies, the gabbros fell in the domain of gabbro, gabbronorite, and hornblende gabbro while granitic rocks fell in the vicinity of quartz-rich granitic rocks, granodiorite, plagiogranite and tonalite. Gabbroic rocks cover the maximum area of the crustal plutonic section and are usually medium-grained while at many places the grain size is quite large to be seen with naked eyes. Minerlogically gabbroic rocks consist of orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, amphibole and plagioclase. These rocks maybe the fragments of main crustal plutonic section of the Zhob ophiolite. The granitic rocks having mafic minerals dominted in the eastern portion, while the felsic minerals dominted ones are in the west. The eastern side of the granitic body is compact and massive compared to western portion which is quite altered and shattered. Granitic rocks are composed of plagioclase, alkali feldspar and quartz where rutile and Cr-spinel exist in trace amounts. The gabbros of Naweoba block may have formed in a magma chamber as a result of fractional crystallization. While the granites maybe a late magmatic differentiate from the same magma chamber. The close correlation of gabbroic and granitic rocks of Naweoba block with Muslim Bagh, Khanozai and Bela ophiolites suggests their formation in supra subduction zone setting.
