Sajib; Islam, A K M Nazrul Abstract: Estimating recreational benefits of non-market natural resources is considered crucial for their conservation. When natural resources are degraded by various anthropogenic reasons, it negatively affects the well-being they provide to human society. But in most cases, such effects remain unaccounted as market failure is synonymous with most environmental services and provisioning. Thus, valuation of natural resources and estimation of their diverse economic benefits are important as they can play a great role in the sustainable management of natural resources for human welfare. This study has employed the Zonal Travel Cost Method (ZTCM), a variation of the popularly used TCM technique, for estimating recreational benefits of the Kuakata Sea Beach, one of the highly potential yet unexplored natural tourist destinations in Bangladesh. It is estimated that the Beach produces an annual figure of TK 29.55 million as recreational benefits to the visitors. The study also finds that improvements in the overall environmental quality of the Beach, as well as better roads and transport facilities, are more likely to increase the recreational benefits to visitors and also their visitation rates. 2016-12-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.daffodilvarsity.edu.bd:8080/handle/20.500.11948/1564 Impact on Economic Value Added on Financial Performance: A Study on Selected Private Commercial Banks in Bangladesh Roy, Jewel Kumar; Emran, Fahmida Abstract:The performance of the company is required to be assessed, evaluated and observed to gain information about what needs to be done in order to develop further. As one of the most crucial business segment in the economy, banks, and their performances are considered to be taken into further study. This study attempts to classify how good the banks sampled performance. Then, by measuring its performance through ratio analysis in the form of return on assets, net interest margin, return on equity, capital adequacy ratio, non-performing loan, loan-to-deposit ratio, and a market measure in form of economic value added, this study expects to observe the influences of those measurements toward banks’ performances in terms of total assets, total debts, and interest expense. This research uses historical data on financial reports of the banks that compiled over a period of 8 years (2008-2015).Authors observed that value added is created when a company’s project yields profit, as reflected in a positive influence on PER. They also found that there are causal relationships and the respective contribution and magnitude of each variable that affects performance. Authors suggested that each variable comprising, assets, earnings, capital, liquidity and sensitivity may be analysed separately in order to gain an understanding of how each respective variable actually contributes to performance. 2016-12-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.daffodilvarsity.edu.bd:8080/handle/20.500.11948/1563 Bangladeshi Short-Run and Long-Run Marginal Propensities to Consume : An Analysis Nguyen, Chu V. Abstract: The short-run and long-rum marginal propensities to consume are the critical figures determining consumption, investment, government expenditure, import, and export multipliers as indicatives how effective and costly national macroeconomic policy actions .Empirical results reveal that both Bangladeshi shortand long-run marginal propensities to consume are smaller than unity. Additionally, from Keynesian macroeconomic theory, the magnitude of the MPC in the economy determines the consumption, investment, government expenditure, and import and export multipliers. Therefore, the smaller the MPCs, the smaller the multipliers are, the larger the countercyclical the policy adjustment must be to achieve a certain countercyclical macroeconomic policy objective. 2016-12-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.daffodilvarsity.edu.bd:8080/handle/20.500.11948/1562 Country Risk and Its Effect on International Finance management Alam, Samsul Abstract: The purpose of this study was to show the effect of current country risk on international finance. The findings of this exploratory study shows that country risk considerably affect the operations of international finance but this correlation cannot be stated with sufficient level of confidence. Data and analysis of the study give us a notion that there are effects of country risk on international finance and that effect is negatively correlated that means when the country risk tends to be higher as in turn making the country rating lower, the international finance is negatively affected. In contrary, when the country risk is lower giving a higher country rating, international finance is positively affected. The result shown gives us perception that due to political instability, high interest rate, high inflation rate, and frequently volatile currency exchange rate cause disturbance in the normal operations of the international trade that reduce the country risk rating score and in turn the global international finance gets hampered. 2016-12-01T00:00:00Z
