    Analysis of cost of education and academic performance in Public and Private Schools in Bhaktapur, district
    (2024) Ranabhat, Kapil; Baikuntha Pandey
    This study examines the relationship between the cost of education and academic performance in public and private schools in Nepal. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the study analyzes direct cost components and its impact on student academic outcomes. The research focuses on both the financial expenditures by the government and the private costs incurred by students and their families. Significant disparities in educational expenditures and academic achievements between public and private institutions are highlighted. Public schools, often constrained by limited resources and government funding, exhibit lower academic performance compared to private schools, which benefit from better funding, infrastructure, and resources. Data collection involved surveys and statistical analysis, including chi-square tests and weighted mean analyses, to explore the correlation between educational investment and student performance. The findings indicate that higher investment in education correlates with improved academic results. In particular, private schools, with their ability to allocate more resources per student, consistently outperform public schools in key academic indicators. The impact of the new federal government system and recent educational policies, including the School Education Examination (SEE) reforms and the introduction of the letter grading system, are also examined. The thesis concludes with policy recommendations aimed at reducing the performance gap between public and private schools. It suggests increased investment and resource allocation to public schools, improving teacher training, and enhancing learning materials to uplift educational outcomes. This research contributes to the understanding of educational economics in Nepal, offering valuable insights for policymakers to improve the quality of education across different school types and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.

    Economic dimension of remitance in Bhagawatimai rural municipality Dailekh, nepal
    (2024) Mainali, Shandhya; Baikuntha Pandey
    The transfers, which are made by migrants who live and work abroad to people back home, usually involve products or financial instruments. It is important to emphasize that remittances only include payments made by workers who have been engaged in foreign economies for a minimum of one year; payments made by independent contractors are excluded (IMF,2024). According to the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), Nepal's remittance inflows have shown significant growth over the past decade. This study attempts to analyze the economic impact of remittance in the rural area where job opportunities are limited. In order to fulfill the objective of the study, primary data were collected from Bhagawatimai Municipality of Dailekh district, Nepal using structured questionnaire. Bhagawatimai Rural municipality which lies in the rural area of Karnali province is purposively selected as a representative area in terms of rural agriculture focus and limited job opportunities. Microsoft Excel was employed for data entry and analysis, utilizing simple descriptive statistics for interpretation. Findings reveal that the majority of remittance contributors are male aged 20–30, with a religious composition predominantly Hindu. Educationally, most individuals have completed secondary education, with a high percentage married. Malaysia emerges as primary destinations for overseas employment. Notably, 95 percent of households continued working post-remittance, with agriculture being a significant sector. The study concludes several key points: remittances serve as a substantial income source for households, reducing the necessity for overseas employment, if local opportunities were available; limited education levels drive many families towards foreign employment; economic necessity rather than better opportunities in urban areas motivates overseas work; domestic sectors, particularly agriculture, require development to provide competitive alternatives. Remittances have marginally improved access to healthcare and education, further. Post-remittance, household infrastructure investments have increased, alongside greater mobile phone ownership, indicating improved communication avenues.

    Empowering women through land ownership; A path to equality in nepal
    (2024) Kafle, Puskar; Khagendra Katuwal
    Promoting women's empowerment and economic well-being in underdeveloped nations is greatly facilitated by guaranteeing equal access to property ownership. This study empirically examines the impact of women's exclusive or shared ownership of property on their capacity to engage in negotiations within the household pertaining to healthcare decisions, substantial household expenses, and visits to family or relatives. By utilising data from the 2016 Nepal Demographic and Health Surveys and employing the Lundberg and Pollak model of noncooperative household bargaining, the study investigate the empirical connection between land ownership and the empowerment of women.The analysis of Multiple Linear Regression indicates a robust and statistically significant association between land ownership and women's empowerment, with an odds ratio of 1.588. This suggests that for every additional unit of land ownership, there is an estimated 58.8% rise in the probability of women making decisions independently. The educational status of an individual has a notable impact, as indicated by an odds ratio of 1.353. This implies that decision-making power increases by 35.3% for each unit increase in education. Variables such as wealth index have a negligible impact, however belonging to the Muslim ethnicity group is associated with a negative correlation to decision-making power, with an odds ratio of 0.208.The findings highlight the minimal impact of financial resources and ethnic background, while emphasising the importance of education, age, marital status, and household structure. The results emphasise the pivotal significance of land ownership in promoting gender equality and enabling women to have autonomy in making healthcare decisions. Policymakers and practitioners in Nepal can apply these findings to promote gender equality and empower women. Keywords: gender, landownership, women empowerment, decision-making

    Macro economic determinants of tax revenue in Nepal
    (2024) Neupane, Sarita; Pujan Adhikari
    Financing public expenditures requires substantial resources. Tax revenues are pivotal due to their regular and mandatory nature, serving as a critical instrument for revenue generation and resource mobilization. Nepal has committed to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 17.1 by 2030, aiming to increase tax revenue to 30 percent of GDP and finance 80 percent of government expenditure through internal revenue. Therefore, enhancing a country's tax revenue performance has become imperative. The objective of this study is first to analyze the trends and structure of tax revenue (TR), foreign trade (Trade), service sector’s GDP (GDP), per capita income (PCI), and foreign aid (FA), and secondly, to examine the effect of these variables on tax revenue. The coefficients of these variables were estimated using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model using time series data for the period from 1975 to 2021. The study identified that per capita GDP and foreign trade are positive and significant determinants of tax revenue in the long run, whereas foreign aid and service sector’s GDP lacks statistical significance. In the short run, Trade, per capita GDP, and foreign aid exhibit a positive and significant relationship with tax revenue. Relying heavily on foreign trade taxes poses challenges to government fiscal stability and economic growth due to revenue volatility from international trade fluctuations. Achieving a balanced approach between foreign trade taxes and import substitution policies is essential for sustainable economic development and resilience against fiscal shocks.

    An assessment of the healthcare expenditure and health outcomes in Nepal
    (2026) Subedi, Khem Raj; Bam Dev Adhikari
    Healthcare expenditure optimization is essential for improving access to quality healthcare services for the general population. It requires strengthening and optimizing government healthcare financing and reducing the high burden of out-of pocket (OOP) payment faced by households. This dissertation assesses the government health expenditure and health outcomes of Nepal. This dissertation has three objectives. First, to identify the factors associated with the per capita government health expenditure in Nepal. Second, to examine the macroeconomic factors influencing out-of-pocket (OOP) payments for healthcare in Nepal. Third, to evaluate the extent to which macroeconomic, socio-demographic, and institutional factors influence variations in population health outcomes, particularly life expectancy and infant mortality in Nepal. The study uses annual longitudinal data covering the data from 1994 to 2022 focusing on the research questions and objectives. The study employs ARDL framework of analysis to estimate both the short-run dynamics and the long-run causal relationship focusing objectives of the dissertation. Likewise, the dissertation uses the 2SLS model to analyze the relationship between health outcomes with selected macroeconomic, government health expenditure, demographic, social, and institutional variables. The findings indicate that GDP per capita, population health-seeking behavior measured by OPD visit frequency, and health human resource density are key drivers of government health expenditure. Aggregate government health expenditure grows faster than the GDP growth, indicating rising income elasticity. Government health expenditure is significantly driven by government sector health workforce density and OPD healthcare service utilization, underscoring the role of service demand and system capacity. Moreover, institutional and policy reforms also exert a substantial influence on health financing. Likewise, OOP payments for health are significantly influenced by GDP per capita, remittance inflow, and inflation rate, while unemployment shows no persistent long-run effect except during specific shocks periods. The findings also indicate that GDP per capita increases life expectancy at birth, but the negative squared income term indicates diminishing returns, suggesting a vi threshold effect. The positive interaction between per capita health workforce density highlights the importance of efficient resource deployment for increasing life expectancy. In addition, rising life expectancy at birth is associated with falling fertility rates, indicating theoretically consistent outcomes. This implies improved efficiency in the production of health, reflecting long-term structural and institutional progress rather than short-term demographic coincidence. Finally, the per capita GDP growth significantly lowers infant mortality rate, indicating that economic growth can lead to improvement in nutrition intake, and sanitation, followed by better healthcare delivery which collectively contribute to infant survival rates. Though the squared GDP term has positive relation with infant mortality, implying diminishing marginal benefits of income growth on infant survival at higher income level. Result also shows that increase in life expectancy is associated with fall in infant mortality. Fertility rate and mean years of schooling is also negatively associated with infant mortality rate. The interaction term of per capita government health expenditure and health workforce density also shows a threshold effect, indicating that higher expenditure becomes effective only after a threshold.

    Impact of financial development in economic growth of nepal
    (2024) Pokharel, Bishworaj; Ananta Raj Dahal
    This study investigates the relationship between economic growth and financial development in Nepal using comprehensive data from the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) spanning from 1975 to 2022. It focuses on evaluating key financial indicators and their impact on economic growth through rigorous econometric analysis. Unit root test was employed to examine the stationary of the variables used in the study. The study employed ARDL regression model to examine the impact of financial development on economic growth of Nepal. Residual and diagnostic test were employed to examine whether the regression fits properly or not. The study showed that number of the financial institutions have been continuously decreasing in Nepal due to policy of merger and acquisition of banking and financial institutions in Nepal introduced by Nepal Rastra Bank. In contrast, the number of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) has grown substantially from 21 to 90, highlighting their pivotal role in enhancing financial inclusion. The expansion of Commercial Bank branches across Nepal, particularly in Bagmati Province, reflects robust infrastructure development in key economic regions. Analysis of financial indicators reveals that Domestic credit provided by BFIs reached NPR 616,891 million in 2023, equivalent to 115% of Nepal's GDP, underscoring the financial sector's crucial role in supporting economic activities and growth. The econometric results showed that gross fixed capital formation has positive impact on economic growth of Nepal indicating that increases in capital formation significantly boost economic growth. Similarly, export has a positive impact, highlighting the role of export-oriented strategies in driving economic expansion. Conversely, foreign aid exhibits a negative relationship with economic growth while, domestic credit disbursed by the banking institutions have no impact on economic growth of Nepal. It is recommended to utilize the domestic credit in productive sector rather than the unproductive sector.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of microfinance programs on the economic and social empowerment of Rajbanshi women in Gauriganj Rural Municipality. The data, collected from 120 women respondents, were analyzed using the Difference-in-Differences (DID) model and processed with Microsoft Excel. Descriptive, statistical, and analytical tools, along with diagrammatic and graphical representations, were utilized to present the findings clearly. The study found that access to microfinance significantly increased household earnings and savings, with a notable rise in women's autonomy, mobility, and decision-making abilities. Women in the treatment group experienced higher income growth compared to the control group, with a Difference-in-Differences (DID) indicating substantial economic benefits. Savings also increased significantly, enhancing financial stability and investment capacity. Additionally, there was an improvement in the quality of household consumption and access to education and healthcare.

    (2024) Joshi, Neeti; Raghu Bir Bista
    This study investigates the factors influencing consumers' willingness to pay within the digital payment system in Lalitpur Sub-Metropolitan City. The primary objective is to identify specific factors within the digital payment system that affect consumers' willingness to pay. Additionally, the study aims to establish the relationship between perceived ease of use (PEU), perceived usefulness (PU), trust (TU), effort expectation (EE), and consumers' willingness to pay. Finally, it analyzes the impact of these variables on consumer willingness. To achieve these objectives, a mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews and focus groups. The survey data were collected from 273 respondents across various wards of Lalitpur, using random sampling to ensure a representative sample. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software, applying both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, including correlation and regression analysis. The analysis reveals that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use significantly influence consumers' willingness to pay for digital payment systems. Trust also plays a crucial role, while effort expectation shows a negligible impact. The study's regression model demonstrates that perceived usefulness has the highest positive impact on willingness to pay, followed by perceived ease of use and trust. Policy implications of this study suggest that enhancing the perceived usefulness and ease of use of digital payment systems can significantly increase consumer adoption. Building trust in these systems through robust security measures and transparent policies is also essential. Policymakers and stakeholders should focus on these areas to promote the adoption of digital payments, thereby contributing to broader financial inclusion and digital transformation goals. Keywords: CW, PEU, PU, TU, EE etc.
