With globalisation, the international fragmentation of production in world trade has come to the fore, and now different production stages occur in different countries. Countries specialise at a certain stage of the production process rather than producing a final good or service. In the 2000s, the international fragmentation process of production gained more importance concomitant with the technological developments that provide low cost and the developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In this context, the study's main purpose is to analyse the position of the ICT sub-sectors in the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEE) countries, that joined the European Union (EU) in 2004, in the global production networks. The Hummels, Ishii & Yi (HIY) method proposed by Hummels, Ishii & Yi (1998) and Hummels, Ishii & Yi (2001) was applied to appraise the vertical specialisation rate. We utilized the input-output tables for the period from 2000 to 2014 obtained from the World Input-Output Database (WIOD). The results revealed that during the period from 2000 to 2014, there was an increase in vertical specialization in the total economy of all countries, however, this trend wasn't invariably seen in the ICT sectors of every country. The outcomes revealed that the ICT sectors' vertical specialisation rate increased in the Czech Republic, Lithuania, and Poland. However, it decreased in Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Slovakia, and Slovenia during 2000-2014. In CEE countries, the telecommunications subsector stands as the predominant source of vertical specialization. The rise of vertical specialization in telecommunications outpaces that in other sectors.

Banking has a very important role in facilitating the growth of the economy of a country because it has a function as an intermediary institution. Regional Development Bank in Indonesia was established to accelerate the growth of the economy. But in reality the contribution of BPD to Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in 2012 was still relatively small, it is allegedly not optimal implementation intemediasi banking functions by BPD indicated by the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) are still low. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors that affect the implementation of intermediation include Capital, Credit Risk and Profitability. The method used is descriptive and verification method, with secondary data from financial statements 26 all over Indonesian Regional Development Bank as a research object units. Data analysis technique is the multiple linear regression, hypothesis testing while using t test to examine the effect of partial variables and test F to examine the effect...

This paper compares the performance of banks in emergent and developed countries in order to measure the efficiency gains that an emergent banking industry could extract by adopting the technology of more developed banking industries. In particular, the Tunisian banking industry is compared with the French, Spanish and Moroccan banking industries. The technologies of emergent and developed banking industries are compared by using the distance function approach, in order to see how this emergent country, i.e. Tunisia, could improve the performance of its banking industry. Results suggest that Tunisian banks could improve their performances by around 17-18% if they adopt the technology of French, Moroccan or Spanish banking industry. ةمدقتلما لودلا تاينقت نيبتب اهئادأ ينستح نم ةئشانلا لودلا فراصلم نكيم فيك : ؟سوت ةلاح يعفاشلا دممح شتيد ليشيم سافيف وازول اآ صخلم واـتح كونبلل نكيم تيلا حبرلا في ةءاـفكلا سايـق لـجأ نـم كـلذو ،ةمدقتـلما لودـلا في اتهلايـثبم ةئـشانلا لودـلا في كونـبلا ءادأ...

This study uses the fully modify ordinary least square (FMOLS) and the dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) to examineexport-led growth hypothesis in West African countries over the period 1980 to 2018. To achieve the objective of the study, panel data on Real Gross domestic product (RGDP), Exchange rate (REXR), net exports (NXPT, labor (LABR)and investment (INVS)) were collected for seventeen West African countries from database of the international financial statistics (IFS) and World Development Index (WDI). The data were analyzed using dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) and fully modify ordinary least square (FMOLS). Findings from the study show that exports had significant impact on economic growth of the West African countries investigated in this study. Based on the findings, it is recommended, among other things, that the governments of West African countries should continue with export-led economic growth since there is strong empirical evidence in support of the export-l...

Development is the main aim of every economy. Economic development increasingly depends on trade. The growing importance of the developing countries in international trade reveals that a country with immense natural and human resources can surely benefit through their strategic move in the international changed world. The economic reform process introduced in the beginning of the 1990s with the focus on liberalisation has enabled increased integration of the Indian economy with the rest of the world.

The study is basically intended to conduct assessment on the efficiency level of Ethiopian Banks for the period 2008-2012 using the Data Envelopment Analysis. The result has shown that the industry efficiency level is at modest level but the technical and scale efficiency of Banks is characterized by both inter and intra group variations across different ownership and size. The efficiency of the government banks is the highest and specifically the CBE's efficiency score persistently is at the frontier. In aggregate basis, banks that were recently emerged in the industry were less efficient than the other groupings, nevertheless, there appear some banks from this group whose efficiency score is as equivalent as the most efficient bank in the industry. The variation among the private banks specifically of the small banks supports the government stance towards following the infant industry protection scheme. The study analyzed the causes of the efficiency variances across various groups and has found out that the variations in efficiency among public and private banks can be explained by public banks favorable support from the government in creating easy market for deposit, loans and forex which has contributed a lot in reducing the cost of fund and boosting both interest and non-interest income. Based on the findings, the study recommends that banks need to work more towards improving their efficiency level so as to ensure equalization of banks towards technical efficiency and increase their competitiveness at international level. This will help in case the government allows foreign banks to operate in the country. In addition, the government should not only protect private banks from external competition but also should support them to enhance their capacity to compete internally by creating a level playing field and enhancing the supervisory capacity in a way to support the technical efficiency of the management. Introduction Since 1991 Ethiopia has been taking various liberalization measures which are intended to enhance the performance of banks in the industry. Some of the measures include lifting of the lending rate cap, allowing private owners to invest in banks, introducing new financial instruments like introducing treasury bills, inter-bank foreign exchange market and others. However, despite the reforms introduced in the sector, the financial sector still remains to be undiversified in types of ownership, market share and financial instruments. With regard to market share, the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) has been the dominant bank in both deposit and loan market taking more than half of the industry share(Tesfaye 2007). Hence, such oligopolistic kind of structure coupled with the restrictions on foreign banks not to operate in the country has been criticized by the IMF and World Bank in various times. This is mainly for the reason that such type of structure hampers the performance of the industry and enables inefficiency to reign in the sector among others. However, studies that focused on assessing the efficiency level of the Ethiopian banking system are scanty. Hence, this study tries to fill such gap with basic intention to identify the efficiency level of Ethiopian banks, the variation level among identified groups and provide justifications for the variations in efficiency among the various groups in the banking sector. In addition, the study assesses the allegedly understanding that public banks, which are prone to agency problem, operate at less efficiency level than private banks. However the impact of such efficiency variation on the performance of banks is one of the areas that need to instigate further research works.
