  • GDP) in BANGLADESH: Co Integrating Regression Analysis (1971-2017
    International Journal of Economics and Financial Issues ARF INDIA Vol. 1, No. 4, 2020, pp. 201-216 Academic Open Access Publishing www.arfjournals.com RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RICE PRODUCTION, FISHERIES PRODUCTION AND GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) IN BANGLADESH: Co integrating Regression Analysis (1971-2017) Sudip Dey Lecturer, Department of Economics, Premier University, Chittagong, Bangladesh E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Received: 13 July 2020 Revised: 20 July 2020 Accepted: 11 August 2020 Publication: 20 December 2020 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between rice production, fisheries production and gross domestic product (GDP) in Bangladesh. Agricultural sector and fishery sector play an important role in Bangladeshi economy. These sectors have great contribution to increase gross domestic production (GDP), create employment opportunities and ensure food security of Bangladesh. Annual time series data used for the study over the period of 1971 to 2017 in Bangladesh. Different kinds of econometric techniques applied to conduct the study, namely, augment Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, Phillips-Perron (PP) test, Johansen co integration test, fully- modified least squares (FMOLS) method and dynamic least squares (DOLS) method. To justify the model some residual diagnostic tests were employed. The results of the study indicated that rice production has a positive and significant impact on gross domestic product (GDP) in Bangladesh. On the other hand, although fisheries production has a positive effect on gross domestic product (GDP), this impact is not significant at 5 or 10 percent level of significance. Since the contribution of fisheries production is not significant to gross domestic product (GDP) the government should create more facilities, and provide more subsidies, new funding schemes and training programs to the fish farmers.

  • Strengthening the Role of Private Sector Housing in Bangladesh Economy: the Policy Challenges
    Report No. 64 Strengthening the Role of Private Sector Housing in Bangladesh Economy: The Policy Challenges Center for Policy Dialogue (CPD) House 40/C, Road 11, Dhanmondi R/A, GPO Box 2129, Dhaka 1209, Bangladesh Tel: 8124770; Fax: 8130951; E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.cpd-bangladesh.org November 2003 The Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), established in 1993, is an innovative initiative to promote an ongoing process of dialogue between the principal partners in the decision-making and implementing process. The dialogues are designed to address important policy issues and to seek constructive solutions to these problems. The Centre has already organised a series of such major dialogues at local, regional and national levels. These dialogues have brought together Ministers, opposition frontbenchers, MPs, business leaders, NGOs, donors, professionals and other functional groups in civil society within a non-confrontational environment to promote focused discussions. The expectation of the CPD is to create a national policy consciousness where members of civil society will be made aware of critical policy issues affecting their lives and will come together in support of particular policy agendas which they feel are conducive to the well being of the country. The CPD has also organised a number of South Asian bilateral and regional dialogues as well as some international dialogues. In support of the dialogue process the Centre is engaged in research programmes which are both serviced by and intended to serve as inputs for particular dialogues organised by the Centre throughout the year. Some of the major research programmes of CPD include The Independent Review of Bangladesh's Development (IRBD), Governance and Development, Population and Sustainable Development, Trade Policy Analysis and Multilateral Trading System, Corporate Responsibility, Governance, Regional Cooperation for Infrastructure Development and Leadership Programme for the Youth.
