High daily turnover beforecrash brought out hundreds of billions BDT from the capital market, but neither money supply outside the banks nor money deposit in the banks changed accordingly.

The Hedonic pricing model requires that a good, per se does not provide utility; it is the characteristics of the good that gives rise to utility. The total amount of utility a consumer receives from the consumption of a good is subject to the total amount of the characteristics contained in a good purchased.

In Bangladesh, primary and secondary mutual fund markets behave in a completely different way, where initial public offering (IPO) investors of mutual funds earn more than 250 percent rerun, whereas secondary market investors cannot even manage to cover the opportunity cost of their investment.

Methods:
We used data from a household survey of 2500 households conducted...
Increasing the feasibility of easy loan repayment is one of the objectives of providing microcredits for income generating activities requiring relatively small loans in the developing countries. However, evidence in the developing countries suggests that microcredits are often used by households for non-income generating expenditures needed to dea...
The reliance on heavy out–of-pocket expenditure for medical care leads to households getting
trapped into a vicious cycle of poverty. In Bangladesh, private health care expenditure accounts
for almost 64% of total health expenditure being financed from out-of-pocket (OOP). These
escalating medical costs cause financial hardship for a majority of ho...
