This paper reviewed the findings of several studies on the effect of the macroeconomic variables on the performance of the capital market in Nigeria. Content study was used where the findings of several other studies were reviewed to identify any consensus or divergence on the findings. The findings indicate a positive and significant relationship between the variables of aggregate money supply and Gross Domestic Product on one hand and the development of the capital market in Nigeria. Interest rates and inflation were shown to have negative and significant effect. Findings on the effect of the exchange rate were divergent and, therefore inconclusive. It was recommended that governments at all levels should make concerted efforts to tame corruption and provide infrastructures to improve business activities as well as effectively manage inflation and interest rates through appropriate policies.

The data were analyzed using statistical programs (Amos V.23), (SPSS V:23). The study concluded that there is a direct impact of Strategic Physiognomy in providing E-Service Deliveriy, and an indirect impact of Strategic Physiognomy in providing E-Service Delivery through adopting Marketing Intelligence. While the study reached a set of recommendations, the most important of which is that companies should use advanced analysis tools to collect and analyze data on markets, costumers and competitors on a regular basis and train employees to use and benefit from them in making strategic decisions.

Global Financial Crises and Its Impacts on The Economy of Bangladesh: A Case Study

2024-12-27T18:37:28+00:00

2024-12-27T18:41:03+00:00

This research aims to examine the interaction between various variables and digital technology instruments and map the position of each variable in Indonesian MSMEs. The study also measures the level of Digital Technology Development descriptively and tests the variables of Access & Infrastructure, Utilization, and Expertise on Digital Technology Development. The research involves 132 MSME samples and employs a structured questionnaire for primary data collection. The results of the measurement indicate that the usage level of digital technology by MSMEs for Access & Infrastructure is lower than the level of Utilization of digital technology and lower than the level of Expertise. Access & Infrastructure does not have an individual impact on Digital Technology Development in MSMEs. On the other hand, the Utilization variable and the Expertise variable have a significant impact. However, collectively, all three variables significantly affect Digital Technology Development in MSMEs and exhibit a high level of correlation.

The Impact of Irrational Economic Policies on Borsa Istanbul, Interest Rates, and Inflation in Turkey: A Time Series Analysis

2024-12-27T18:42:48+00:00

This study aims to examine the relationship between Borsa Istanbul (BIST), interest rates, and inflation during the period of irrational economic policies from 2018 to 2023. The Johansen Cointegration model (1991, 1995) was employed to investigate the long-term relationship between the variables. Using monthly data, the dynamics between the BIST100 index, interest rates, and inflation were analyzed. The findings of the study indicate that as interest rates and inflation decrease, the BIST100 index tends to rise. This suggests that lower interest rates and inflation stimulate investment and consumption, thereby supporting economic growth. Additionally, a linear relationship between inflation and exchange rates was identified, predicting that the exchange rate would increase at least by the inflation rate.

2024-12-27T19:20:54+00:00

Forecasting environmental protection expenditures is important in planning the financing resources needed for policies aimed at environmental protection. In this study, we aimed to determine the highest performing models from the Exponential Smoothing, Box-Jenkins" and Artificial Neural Networks methods and to estimate the environmental protection expenditures of metropolitan municipalities, which have a major role in the realization of environmental protection activities in Türkiye, for the periods from 2024:-2025: 4. To evaluate the performance of the models, we used the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) criterion and identified the model with the lowest MAPE as the most accurate for forecasting. As a result of the experiments, it was seen that all three models (Seasonal ARIMA, Multiplicative-Seasonal Holt-Winter’s and ANN) produced quite successful results, and the Nonlinear Autoregressive ANN model was more successful in capturing the nonlinear patterns in the data compared to the time series models, albeit with a small difference.
