Given the reliance of a large segment of the population on the agricultural sector for both their livelihoods as well as national food security, climate change adaptation in the agricultural sector is crucial for continued national food security and economic growth. Using household data from lowland rice farmers of selected haor areas in Sylhet, the current work presents an analysis of the determinants behind the implementation of different climate change adaptation strategies by lowland rice farmers. The first objective of this study was to explore the extent of awareness of climate change within this population as well as the type of opinions held by lowland rice farmers with respect to climate change. To serve this purpose, a severity index (SI) was developed and subsequently employed to evaluate the perceptions and attitudes of 378 farmers with respect to climate change vulnera...

This study examines the efficiency of savings and loan cooperatives in terms of number of members, total capital and operating costs and their effects on profits, total assets, disbursed loans and debt repayments. Two types of savings and loan cooperatives studied are savings and loan cooperatives owned by government employees and savings and loan cooperatives owned by the general public (community owned). The efficiency of these two types of cooperatives is studied separately and comparatively using the parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) method. and the research involved a total of 22 cooperatives from five areas in Jakarta. The results of the study used the SFA method and found that the average efficiency of community-owned cooperatives was greater than cooperatives owned by government employees.

The study also aims at exploring whether the CAPM is applicable in DSE. For this study we have been used monthly stock returns from 60 non-financial companies for the period of January 2005 to December 2009.In order to examine the risk-return trade off in a sample of individual stocks, we apply the usual two stages regression.From the CAPM empirical analysis for individual stocks,it is observed that intercept term is significantly different from zero and slope is not equal to the excess return on the market portfolio.But, the CAPM’s prediction for the intercept is that it should equal zero and the slope should equal the excess returns on the market portfolio. So, the results of the study refute the above hypothesis and offer evidence against the CAPM. Thus, it can be concluded that CAPM is not a suitable indicator of asset prices in Bangladesh over the chosen sample period.The securities market line shows linearity which means that the CAPM linear relationship is enough to express the returns generating process.Moreover, the investors are rewarded for market risk but not for unique risk because unique risk shows insignificancy during the period.

This paper aimed to create a model to assess if an area that can be used for the development of an industrial site meets multiple criteria. The new method in this research integrates the GIS and AHP approaches into a web-based geographic information system application that is used to easily support widespread assessment and mapping. The assessment of the development potential of industrial areas in West Java Province showed that 77% of the land was appropriate for industrial sites, whereas the other 33% was less suitable for use as an industrial site location. The assessment of 23 industrial site development location points in the Industrial Site Spatial Plan of West Java Province showed that 14 locations were in the highly suitable category (P1) and 9 other locations were in the suitab...
