This study examines how the level of financial development in a community affects households’ decisions over how remittance income is spent. My findings suggest that in communities without banks remittances are more likely to be used for productive investments or to purchase assets. Increasing the size of the financial sector in communities with banks present increases the likelihood that remit...

As the globalization is developing, financial interdependence has been increasing sharply among financial organizations, such as central banks, commercial banks, investment banks, etc.. And the relationships in this system can be perfectly explained as network structure. Many researchers have studied a lot in this intersection. In this paper, we select 158 literatures (2004-2016) from SSCI jour...

In the past decade banks invested heavily in internet technology so as to engage in e-business and ecommerce activities. However, this development exposed banks to threats, such as online fraud. Consequently, there was a need to adopt security measures and controls to mitigate such threats. Banks in developed countries have developed a level of ‘best practice’ to reduce such online threats. The...

Banks routinely invest in the venture capital market. Why are they interested in venture capital, and how do their investments differ from independent venture capitalists? The banking literature suggests that banks may have some valuable expertise that they might want to leverage into venture capital. Alternatively, banks may want to build relationships in the venture market for their core lend...

This study uses a sample of 715 banks from 95 countries and two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) to provide international evidence on the impact of regulations and supervision approaches on banks’ efficiency. We first use DEA to estimate technical and scale efficiency. We then use Tobit regression to investigate the impact of several regulations related to capital adequacy, private monitor...

The banking industry plays a key role in the process of Taiwan’s economic development, and the structure of the financial system in Taiwan has turned from a controlled system into a liberalized one. In this paper, we employ the Malmquist productivity index approach, which is calculated from efficiency scores based on DEA linear programming technique, to measure the technical efficiency and prod...

Banks play an important role in the economic development of every nation. They have control over a large part of the supply of money in circulation. Since, the appearance of private commercial banks is the larger portion of the banking sector in Bangladesh, thus this study is intended to measure the performance of selected private sector banks (five), listed on both the Dhaka Stock Exchange and...

Keywords| Filter banks, bi-orthogonal, linear phase, McClellan transformations, multirate systems. EDICS| Filter Bank Theory 2.4.2. Abstract| In this paper we provide a new method for analyzing multidimensional lter banks. This method enables us to solve various open problems in multidimensional l-ter bank characterization and design. The essential element in this new approach is the redeenitio...

Theory predicts that sperm competition will generate sexual conflict that favours increased ovum defences against polyspermy. A recent study on house mice has shown that ovum resistance to fertilization coevolves in response to increased sperm fertilizing capacity. However, the capacity for the female gamete to adjust its fertilizability as a strategic response to sperm competition risk has nev...
