No.2, September – October 2018 ISSN: 2338-4603 (print); 2355-8520 (online) Dynamic links between economic growth, institutions, fiscal policy and stock market development Ghulam Rasool Madni The University of Lahore, Pakistan Correspondence author email: [email protected] Abstract Economic growth is a most crucial factor that plays its role to improve the living standards in a country. But there is no consensus about the variables explaining the economic growth of economies. This paper is an attempt to explore the impact of institutional quality, instruments of fiscal policy, and stock market development on economic growth for a small developing economy, Pakistan over the time span of 1984- 2016. To determine the long and short run relationship of the variables, Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to integration is applied. An index of institutional quality is constructed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) considering twelve institutional indicators given by International Country Risk Guide (ICRG). The findings of the study reveal a positive relationship of public spending, institutional quality and stock market development on economic growth of the country. It is suggested that improvement of institutional quality, productive public spending and efficient financial markets are driving forces for economic prosperity and development of Pakistan. Keywords: Economic growth, Institutions, Stock market, Public spending JEL Classification: B22, C32, Q43 INTRODUCTION Economic growth is a vivid and ultimate source for economic development and prosperity which raises an economy’s potential GDP and must be sustained in long run to achieve the desired goal of public welfare. Economic growth is a fundamental instrument and indicator for sustainability and development of any economy. In long run, the focus of governments is to foster sustainable economic growth. The sustained growth of any country is helpful to improve living standard of people in many ways like reducing the poverty, enhancing the infrastructure and educational facilities, combating increased inflation, and reducing the external vulnerabilities. There is no consensus upon determinants of economic growth for an economy. Theoretical and numerical facts reveal that public spending, institutional quality and stock market have a pivotal role for economic growth. It may be observed that no society reaped towering echelon of economic growth without the intervention of government. Economies without interference of government face diverse hue of chaos that freezes their economic growth with passage of time. Government expenditures allow government to reallocation of resources from elite to poor. It is obvious that fiscal policy is a pre-condition to achieve macroeconomic permanence and sustainable economic growth that can have foremost impacts on income generation and poverty alleviation through taxation, optimal revenues generation, public borrowings and

  • Local Trade Networks in Maluku in the 16Th, 17Th and 18Th Centuries
    CAKALELEVOL. 2, :-f0. 2 (1991), PP. LOCAL TRADE NETWORKS IN MALUKU IN THE 16TH, 17TH, AND 18TH CENTURIES LEONARD Y. ANDAYA U:-fIVERSITY OF From an outsider's viewpoint, the diversity of language and ethnic groups scattered through numerous small and often inaccessible islands in Maluku might appear to be a major deterrent to economic contact between communities. But it was because these groups lived on small islands or in forested larger islands with limited arable land that trade with their neighbors was an economic necessity Distrust of strangers was often overcome through marriage or trade partnerships. However, the most . effective justification for cooperation among groups in Maluku was adherence to common origin myths which established familial links with societies as far west as Butung and as far east as the Papuan islands. I The records of the Dutch East India Company housed in the State Archives in The Hague offer a useful glimpse of the operation of local trading networks in Maluku. Although concerned principally with their own economic activities in the area, the Dutch found it necessary to understand something of the nature of Indigenous exchange relationships. The information, however, never formed the basis for a report, but is scattered in various documents in the form of observations or personal experiences of Dutch officials. From these pieces of information it is possible to reconstruct some of the complexity of the exchange in MaJuku in these centuries and to observe the dynamism of local groups in adapting to new economic developments in the area. In addition to the Malukans, there were two foreign groups who were essential to the successful integration of the local trade networks: the and the Chinese.

Some of the remote villages have not yet been reached and therefore the balance could become worst. ● Several discussions are ongoing in the International Community on the Tsunami Early Warning System that either did not work or was however unable to save lives. BMKG provided details on the system working conditions but some of the choices still need some clarification. ● There is not yet a clear general overview of the Tsunami impact occurred in the area; two cities are largely mentioned in the media (Palu and Donggala) but a clear extended mapping is still ongoing. Copernicus and International Charter have been activated and are providing important information on this point.

  • Ehito Kimura
    Marginality and O pportunity in the Periphery: The Emergence of Gorontalo Province in North Sulawesi* Ehito Kimura The Birth of a Province On January 23, 2000, about thirty thousand ethnic Gorontalo from all over the Indonesian archipelago gathered at the local stadium in Gorontalo City. They were there to celebrate "Hari Patriotik, 23 Januari 1942." Patriot Day commemorates local hero Nani Wartabone and the anticolonial rebellion he led that ousted the Dutch from the region. On that fateful day in January, Wartabone famously declared Gorontalo "free from colonialism."* 1 As a practical matter, Gorontalo would endure Japan's brutal wartime occupation as well as Dutch attempts to return to the archipelago after World War II. But the Gorontalo are fiercely proud of Wartabone's words, often noting that they were the first in Indonesia to declare independence, well ahead of Sukarno's declaration in August of 1945.2 The story of January 1942 is therefore one woven into the larger ’ This article is based on fieldwork conducted in North Sulawesi and Gorontalo over several trips during 2004-2005. The author would like to thank Eunsook Jung, Amelia Liwe, Jennifer Munger, Basri Amin, Paul Hutchcroft, Donald Emmerson, and an anonymous reviewer at Indonesia for comments that helped to improve the article. Remaining errors are the author's alone. 1 Alim Niode and Husein Mohi, Abad Besar Gorontalo (Gorontalo: Presnas Publishing, 2003), p. 38. 2 This fact was recounted to me in numerous conversations with informants in Gorontalo. This discourse was also evident in the local media; for example, see newspaper accounts such as "Gorontalo Jumat 1942 Terulang," Harian Gorontalo, October 21, 2000.

Project Background Location: Indonesia is the world’s most biologically diverse country, spanning two of the world’s major biogeographic regions, Australasia and Indo-Malaya, as well as a large transition zone, Wallacea (Sulawesi, Maluku and Nusa Tenggara). This project is located in Sulawesi at the Paguyaman (Nantu) Forest, Gorontalo (0046’N 120016’E). Gorontalo is a new Indonesian province (population 900,000) created in February 2000 by separation from North Sulawesi province. It comprises four major districts (Gorontalo, Bolaemo, Bone-Bolango and Puowato) each with an elected head of government called the Bupati (Regent). The Nantu Forest lies at the boundary of two districts: the reserve is entirely located within Gorontalo district but its southern boundary abuts directly onto Bolaemo. Circumstances: The Paguyaman Forest is one of the few pristine forest ecosystems remaining in Indonesia today. Destruction of Indonesia’s forests is occurring at an alarming rate: more than 20 million hectares of Indonesian forest was destroyed between 1985-1997 (World Bank, 2001).

    Determination of morphological alteration based on molecular analysis and melanophore pattern of the migrating Nike fish in Gorontalo Bay, Indonesia 1Femy M. Sahami, 2Rene C. Kepel, 1Abdul H. Olii, 2Silvester B. Pratasik 1 Department of Aquatic Resources Management, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Gorontalo State University, Gorontalo City, Indonesia; 2 Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Sam Ratulangi University, Manado City, Indonesia. Corresponding author: F. M. Sahami, [email protected] Abstract. Nike is a term for minuscule fish that frequently appear in Gorontalo waters. This type of fish belongs to the amphidromous goby group. This study aims to describe the morphological alterations of Nike fish from the sea to the estuary area of Gorontalo waters based on molecular analysis and different melanophore pattern. The small size of this fish (larval stage and post-larva) cause difficulties in analysing morphometric and meristic aspects. Therefore, the melanophore pattern approach and molecular analysis using the COI gene were used to identify and study the fish species. Sampling was carried out from 5 to 11 October 2018 in Gorontalo Bay area and the mouth of Bone Bolango river. The study was carried out when this type of fish appeared in the research area. Samples of Nike fish were grouped based on differences in melanophore patterns in the body. It was found there were five different groups. The groups were coded N1, N2, N3, N4 and N5. The molecular analysis using the COI gene was used to identify the fish species. Genetic investigations showed that from five groups, there were two groups (N3 and N5) that had different melanophore patterns, but belong to the same species, Belobranchus segura.
