Item An analysis of foreign migration destination choice and remittance induced consumption expenditure of Nepalese rural households(Department of Economics, 2023) Kshetri, TilakThis thesis examines the factors affecting an individual’s decision to select a migration destination and the impact of remittance sent by foreign migrants on consumption in rural Nepalese households. The study uses Nepal Household Risk and Vulnerability Survey (NHRVS) panel data spanning from 2016 to 2018, produced by the World Bank. We estimate the multinomial logistic regression model to identify the effect of household assets on the choice of migration destinations among India, OECD, Gulf, and Asia. We conclude that household asset accumulation is one of the key determinants of the destination choice of individuals in rural households. Specifically, households with higher asset endowments are more likely to choose OECD countries, followed by the Gulf region, Asia, and India. Moreover, through the use of 2SLS, the study highlights the importance of remittances as a driving force behind enhancing household consumption, welfare, and human capital accumulation within rural households.Item An Analysis of Structure and Challenges of Value Added Tax in Nepal(Department of Economics, 2014) Bhusal, AratiNot availableItem Assessment of Potential Non Timber Forest Products for Economic Development. A Case Study of Chapako Community Forest, Ramkot, Kathmandu(Department of Environmental Science, 2007) Shrestha, KeshabThis dissertation is aimed at identifying the NTFPs that bear potential for the economic development of the communities especially CFUGs. The main focus here is to manage these resources to enhance the livelihood status and promote NTFPs both through conservation and cultivation in CF where it bears potential. The study was carried out in Chapako CF at Ramkot, one of the rural areas of Kathmandu where NTFPs are integral part to poor people’s lives. The results of the study showed that NTFPs are in considerable amount in the forest. The initiation and interest of FUG for the promotion of NTFPs are encouraging to take it as potential sector to uplift the economic status of the community. The processes for the management of these resources, cultivation of high valued products and their willingness to assess more in the sector was important. The species like Gaultheria fragrantissima, Cheorospondias axillaris, Piper longum, Amomum subulatum, Cinnamomum tamala, Daphne bholua and Acorus calamus should be prioritized for the cultivation, conservation and promotion for economic development of CFUG at the Chapako CF. Furthermore, related institutions like FECOFUN, DFO – Kathmandu and various related programs have provided support to the user group for the promotion of this sector separately. Future programs to support the FUG should be related to the harvesting mechanisms and propagation procedures of NTFPs to meet the higher degree of success. For the policy makers, there should be strong policy, infrastructure interventions and legal provisions providing support for the management and promotion of this sector. Community forest programs directly benefit poor users through improved access and use of forest products, and indirectly through investment of forest user funds in community activities that generate income. Benefit from NTFPs should be prime objective for more integrated resource management. Lack of sufficient support in terms of physical infrastructures combined with financial and technical assistance as well as weaker enforcement of policy and legal provisions appear to be inhibited in this sector. However, there appears ample of opportunities to promote NTFPs and can be considered to be an important source of income.Item Buyers' Behavior Towards General Insurance Product in Pokhara Valley(Department of Management, 2011) Baral, Dhruba RajNot AvailableItem Capital structure management of Nepalese commercial banks(Department of Management, 2013) K.C., DeepaNot availableItem A Case Study on Capital Structure Management of Siddhartha Bank Limited(Department of Management, 2011) Sharma, Krishna PrasadNot AvailableItem Cash management in Salt Trading Corporation Limited & National Trading Limited(Department of Management, 2008) Ghimire, SantoshNot availableItem A comparative financial performance analysis of Nabil Bank Ltd. & Standard Chartered Bank Nepal Ltd.(Department of Management, 2013) Ghimire, Guru PrasadNot availableItem A comparative study on housing finance of Nepal Bangladesh Bank limited and Kumari Bank limited(Department of Management, 2014) Shriwastava, PavitraNot availableItem Contribution of Hydro Electricity to the Economic Development of Nepal(Department of Economics, 2015) Rimal, Keshab PrasadHydroelectricity is white-Gold of Nepal to sustain its economy. Nepal has over 6,300 rivers and rivulets and thousands of hills and valleys. The perennial nature of Nepali rivers and the steep gradient of the country’s topography provide ideal conditions for the development of some of the world’s largest hydroelectric projects. It has been estimated potentiality of 83 000 MW of which 42000 MW is economically Feasible. If we could block the water in these valleys, we can conserve the rainwater and it can be a huge assets. Hydropower could be the engine of growth for Nepal as it would offer opportunity to create employment, alleviate poverty and provide basic services including good governance. The development of this sector can be a potent contributor for transforming villages, cities and societies in Nepal into prosperous and inclusive economic zones. The research method is descriptive depending on collected and informative data from secondary source. The analysis and presented data allocation evokes the motto of this research on the Topic of “Contribution of Hydro-Electricity to the Economic Development of Nepal” The main objective of this study is to analyze the Contribution of Hydropower to the Economic Development of Nepal and how it contributes in Nepal’s economy. Specifically current generation, transmission distribution and usage of electricity in Nepal have been taken on account. Requirement of energy in India also has been checked out. On another aspect the contribution of electricity on national economy of Nepal also has been analyzed. Analytical and descriptive approach has been adopted for the purpose of this research. Analytical approach has been utilized to analyze the relationship between energy availability and gross domestic product. Descriptive approach has been used mainly for conceptualization of the research objectives and research problem of the study. The collected data have been edited, classified and tabulated in appropriate form. Processing of data has been done by the programme like Microsoft excel. Co-relation analysis between variables has been carried out to analyze the data and as statistical tool F-test has been carried out to test significance of relationship. The domestic use of hydroelectricity is more beneficial as it ultimately assists to increase GDP. As it is concern to export is not suggestible until cheaper electricity generation technology comes to practice. On the another hand the study shows as much as 5% of total Indian energy demand may be fulfilled even if Nepal produced all her economically feasible generation capacity. And, Nepal is currently using almost all imported technology to generate electricity. In this case the study shows the necessity of monetary benefit than economic one. From the study, it is found that infrastructural and institute barriers for power trade between India and Nepal are gradually clearing out. A significant progress has been attained since it has been initiated in the history. On the same provision some Indian organizations and other agencies either domestic or international are constructing hydropower plants in Nepal, in the context of private public partnership. Ii is concluded that primarily domestic use of energy is beneficial for Nepal to increase her GDP rate which is more crucial points to develop to the country. Nepal can export very little units of energy in compare to Indian demand. There is almost no legal barrier to export energy compare with Indian Demand. However, some technological barrier such as capacity of transmission lines exists.Item Contribution of Value Added Tax in Tax Revenue of Nepal with Reference to Large Tax Payers(Department of Economics, 2017) Thapa, IshworNot availableItem Corporate governance in financial institutions of Nepal(Department of Management, 2013) Mohan, Singh SurendraNot availableItem Determinants of Migration from Hill Totarai in Nepal (A Case Study of Birbas Vdc, Gulmi)(Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2008) Pandey, GhanashyamBeing landlocked, developing and mountainous country Nepal has to cope the various kinds of difficulties such as economic, social,demographic, cultural, political and diplomatic.

The capital market acts as a mechanism that creates investment alternatives for the saving or surplus units and source of long term funds for individuals, firms and the government. Capital market plays a vital role in the economic development by creating the employment opportunities through capital formation and acting as the intermediaries between the saving units and the deficit units. But, the mere existence of the capital market does not guarantee the economic growth. This mechanism creates the micro-level saving mobilization, an opportunity and challenges too. The financial literacy and awareness level are the crucial elements for the healthy growth of the market. The main purpose of the study is to find the level of awareness among the stock investors in Nepalese capital market. The study also analyses the factors influencing investor awareness. In this study 104 samples were taken from the whole investors/clients. In order to conduct this study, descriptive research design has been adopted.

For the purpose of analysis of the data, the data collected from the survey were coded for statistical analysis. SPSS tool was used to organize the data, determine significant relationships and identify difference or similarities with & between different variables under study. The findings from Z test show that there is statistically significant relationship between investor awareness, fundamental and technical analysis, education and training programs, social learning and motives, evaluation of investment alternatives, regulator’s rules and regulations and information dissemination. Pearson correlation coefficient shows that investor awareness and the factors influencing it are positively correlated. It is concluded that the level of investor awareness is moderate i.e. mean = 3.72 in Nepalese stock market. Most of the Nepalese investors use only fundamental analysis v for analyzing investment on stock. They analyze debt/equity, price/earnings, assets and liabilities, dividends, cash flow, sales, earnings estimates, growth, etc. Majority of them do not conduct technical analysis such as trend analysis, momentum analysis, chart analysis, moving average etc due to lack of knowledge. Thus, trainings, workshops & seminars regarding investments should be carried on a regular basis in various parts of the country. During such programs, the investors should be educated about technical aspects of investment, nature of risk and return, investor rights and obligations, new financial products, benefits of investing etc. NEPSE has to ensure that all companies share all relevant information on a timely basis so that the stock price reflect their company’s status more accurately.Item Financial Sector Reform and its Impact on Economic Development in Nepal(Department of Economics, 2018) Maharjan, Om KrishnaNot availableItem Foreign Aid to Nepal ; A comparative study of Japanese and US AID(Department of Economics, 2016) Pant, Kapil DevNot availableItem Human trafficking and open border: Case of Nepal(Department of International Relations and Diplomacy, 2019) Upreti, NisthaThe study looks into causes of human trafficking in Nepal, policy challenges and problems caused by open border. Major causes of human trafficking in Nepal are low levels of economic development and poverty, low levels of employment opportunities for women, harmful practices and gender based violence, natural calamities and dependence on tourism. Although Nepal has made various provisions to limit human trafficking through constitution to ratifying international agreements, there are still many challenges. At present Nepal has a blanket policy for women that bar women from going to gulf countries for domestic works. This has encouraged employment seekers to opt for illegal routes that make women vulnerable to trafficking. Nepal still has a long way to go in terms of implementing the laws formed to control trafficking. Open border poses many challenges to controlling human trafficking in Nepal. Traffickers find out different routes and ways to traffic. Trafficking from Western part of Nepal has increased after authorities in Eastern borders have intensified activities. There are various organizations working to control human trafficking in Nepal. Authorities from both India and Nepal have worked in collaboration to control trafficking and rescue trafficked persons.Item Impact of Aandhikhola Hydropower Plant on Health and Education (A Case Study of Arjun Chaupari VDC, Syangja District)(Department of Economics, 2015) Bhusal, KeshabNot Available
