One of the major factors behind this change in policy paradigm, from an economic perspective, is the low to negative impact of trade liberalization through regional integration and other agreements on economic welfare, as perceived by the people of the respective countries. Generally, trade gains translate into economic growth; so regional trading agreements would need to be beneficial in terms of trade gains for the respective countries in order to increase economic welfare. Through the application of the gravity model of international trade, this paper tries to find out whether the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) has been beneficial in terms of trade balance improvement in four of the biggest economies of South Asia – India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The findings suggest that even after ten years of SAFTA, regional trade is low, and SAFTA has had a positive effect only on the trade balance of India. Hence, this situation needs to be improved through lowering of tariff and non-tariff barriers and increased investment in connectivity, otherwise, given the current rise in protectionism in the world, there is a probability of events such as Brexit occurring in this region.

  • How Can We Increase the Quality of Private Schools in Bangladesh from the Perspectives of Students and Managers?
    How Can We Increase the Quality of Private Schools in Bangladesh from the Perspectives of Students and Managers? Mohammad Salahuddin* Department of Business Administration, Southeast University, Banani, Dhaka, Bangladesh Rabiul Islam, Department of Economics, Monash University, Australia Dr. Delwar Akbar School of Geography, Planning and Architecture , The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Aus- tralia and Khaled Mahmud Raihan School of Business Studies, State University of Bangladesh, Dhaka, Bangladesh ABSTRACT This paper examines factors that determine students’ choices of private universities for tertiary study in Bangladesh. Tertiary study in private schools in Bangladesh is relatively a recent development in business. The study is fascinating in that, this new industry has been growing remarkably over the years and can potentially contribute to economic growth. Factor analysis was used to determine important factors in choosing a private university. The results suggest that endogenous factors such as fee structure, mode of payment, quality education and physical environment are significant in influ- encing choice variables while advertisements, logistics, credit transfer facilities and influence of peer group tend to have less influence. The main implication of this study is that despite diversity in the socio-economic set-up across different countries, certain variables such as fee structure, quality education and physical environment are likely to potentially influence students’ choice of private schools globally. Key words: private university, factor analysis, students’ choice, Bangladesh INTRODUCTION The enactment of Private University Act 1992 permitted university education in Ban- gladesh for the first time to be offered in the private sector. Since then, private universi- ties have been growing very rapidly.
