Item Analysis of Economic Growth and Other Macro-Economic Variables of Nepal(Department of Economics,T.U. Birendra Multiple Campus, 2023-04) Bogati, BinayaThe government plays a major role in providing public goods and services, such as infrastructure and education, which can promote economic growth. Additionally, the government can intervene in markets to correct market failures, such as monopolies or externalities. Fiscal and monetary policies are also tools used by governments to stabilize the economy during periods of inflation, recession, or other economic fluctuations. The core objective of the thesis entitled ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH AND OTHER MACRO-ECONOMIC VARIABLES OF NEPAL is to analyse the relationship between Gross Capital Formation (GCF), Government Revenue (GR), Inflation (CPI), and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Nepal. The ARDL and ECM models were used to investigate the short- and long-run relationships between the variables. This study has been conducted to examine the temporal relationship (long-term and short-term) between the aforementioned macro-economic variables with GDP by analysing the time-series data between 1990-2022. The data were analysed using various analytical techniques such as Unit Root Tests, ARDL Model to Cointegration Tests, ECM Model, Bound Tests and related stability tests. The ARDL results show that there is a positive relationship between GCF and GDP. Further, results show that GCF has a positive effect on GDP, but the relationship is not very strong and may be influenced by other factors. In addition, the results indicate that changes in inflation do not have a significant effect on GDP. Similarly, Government Revenue does not have a significant effect on GDP. The short-run relationship between government revenue and GDP is positive, while the long-run relationship between the variables is characterized by the presence of a long-run equilibrium relationship. Based on the findings, it is recommended that policies that stimulate Gross Capital Formation may be more effective in promoting economic growth than those focused on increasing Government Revenue or controlling inflation. Keywords: economic growth, gross capital formation, government revenue, inflationItem “Determinants of Profitability of Commercial Banks In Nepal”.(Department of Economics,T.U. Birendra Multiple Campus, 2022-09) Aryal, BasantaA research thesis is an integral part of the postgraduate study at Tribhuvan University. The study is conducted on the topic “DETERMINANTS OF PROFITABILITY OF COMMERCIAL BANKS IN NEPAL”. It has been under taken to examine and analyze the relationship of bank profitability with bank specific variables of commercial banks and to find out their impact on banks’ profitability. The banking sector’s performance is seen as the replica of economic activities of the nation as a healthy banking system acts as the bedrock of social, economic and industrial growth of a nation. Banking institutions in our country have been assigned a significant role in financing the process of planned economic growth. This study includes nine commercials bank as a sample and ten years period from 2011/12 to 2020/21 for data requirement within the framework of descriptive and analytical research design. The analysis is based on the secondary data published by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) and commercial banks. The paper reveals that the ROE and ROA are the major indicators of bank profitability. The trend line describes that ROA and ROE are downward sloping during the sample period. Joint venture banks have higher ROA whereas public banks have higher ROE. Among three banks, joint venture banks have higher profitability. Public banks have higher overhead but their ROE is significantly higher than joint venture and private banks but they compromise with low assets quality and also low capital adequacy ratio. Private and joint venture banks have better assets quality as well as they are able to meet the CAR norms during the sample period. ROA of private banks are lower than public and joint venture banks which reveal that income earned on each unit of shareholders capital by private banks are low. The study also uses some inferential tools and econometric models for better analysis of data. The inferential investigation of the relation between bank profitability and bank performance in Nepalese commercial bank provides several important results. In order to understand how commercial bank’s profitability relates to bank specific factors vi different models has been adopted. Model I explained the effect of ROA on bank profitability. Likewise, model II explained the effect of ROE on bank profitability. Asset size (Ln A) has negative relationship with ROA and ROE. Operating efficiency (CIR) has also negative impact on bank profitability. It shows negative association with both ROA and ROE. Capital requirement (CAR) has negative and insignificant relationship with ROE whereas it has positive and significant relationship with ROA. TL/TA (liquidity risk) has negative association with both ROA and ROE but it is significantly related with ROE. NPL/TL (Asset quality) has positive and insignificant relationship with ROA and ROE. LLP/TL (credit risk) shows negative relationship with ROA and with ROE. Finally, 12.40 percent of variations in ROA and 19.90 percent of variations in ROE are explained by bank specific control variables. These findings show that the level of bank profitability is determined by other factors which include the bank specific variables and the macroeconomic control variables. Hence, commercial banks that are keen on making high profit should concentrate on other factors.

Birendra Multiple Campus, 2022-04) Sharma, Bina DeviBackground: Foreign aid is the donations of money, goods, or services from one nation to another. Such donations can be made for a humanitarian, altruistic purpose, or to advance the national interests of the giving nation. Aid can be bilateral or multilateral. Bilateral aid is usually in the form of conditional aid in which the recipients get support from the donor country. This study “Trend Composition and Impact of US Aid on Economic Growth of Nepal” tries to analyze the trend and impact of Us aid in Nepal. Materials and Methods: This study is cross-sectional and analytical and is completely based on secondary data from FY1990/91 to FY2020/21. To examine the trend and impact of foreign aid on the economic growth rate of Nepal simple regression model were used. The coefficient of determination R 2 and test of significance were calculated. For the level of significance of 5 percent, the p-value for the US aid was obtained to be less than the level of significance which suggested that there existed a significant relationship between US aid and the GDP of Nepal. Result: Over the 30 years, the total assistance amounted to US$ 850.28 million corresponding to 48.27 percent of the total US aid. Grants amounted to US $ 871.46 million corresponding to 49.74 percent of the total US assistance. Loans totaled US $ 30.44 million which is equivalent to 1.99 percent of the US aid. US aid has helped Nepal in various fields including agriculture, health, sanitation & family planning, natural disasters, education, energy, economic growth, trade, and other. The R 2 value for the US aid and the GDP of Nepal was found to be 79.76 percent which signified that US aid could be one of the factors whose change might contribute to a change in the GDP of Nepal. Conclusions: In developing countries like Nepal, adequate mobilization of internal resources could not have been possible without foreign aid to accelerate economic growth and development. The function of foreign aid is to enable the developing countries to make a transition from economic stagnation to self-sustaining economic growth. Among the various projects under foreign aid, few of them are successful to fulfill their indicated aim but in general, they have been less effective in bringing the required amount of economic growth.
