Dariusz Prokopowicz In my experience, bank employees are needed less and less banking applications, mobility, online services and even financial and credit analyzes are performed using artificial intelligence.

In a fast-changing and increasingly interconnected world that demands more individual and collective contributions than ever before, we may have to bridge the hitherto somewhat artificial divide between human capital and social capital. Synergizing—perhaps even integrating—human capital and social capital summons practical and research insights into how individual-based knowledge, skills, and abilities can be developed both singly and in unison with network-based knowledge, skills, and abilities for the (higher) purpose of creating organizational value. From this perspective, it would therefore appear that significance does not lie so much in a new "definition" of human capital but, rather, in how it might be fructified more effectively in social capital applications.

Not directly related to this question, but I know you're also interested in the impact of codes on actual working condition. This paper based on interviews with Indonesian trade unionists suggests some positive impact on CBAs (p. 240, Bartley and Egels-Zanden, 2016 'Beyond decoupling....'

Teaching students how to learn - It is based on the principle that learners must be taught how to search for and discover knowledge rather than a teacher spoonfeeding them with the knowledge. Thus, educators globally advocate the implementation of learner-centred approaches rather than teacher-centred approaches. It is as it were, arming the students with knowledge on how to fish rather than giving them fish.

The research can be more relevant to practitioners by involving and collaborating them in research projects.

In your modelling approach to investigating "why and how political institutions can moderate the negative economic effects of remittances on economic growth" I would urge you to take account also of potentially positive effects, including indirect effects (for example, potentially positive effects of remittances on exports and investment  which, in turn, may have positive growth effects). A recent paper identifying positive effects of remittances on exports  and referencing the relevant literature is: Gashi, P., Hisarciklilar, M., and Pugh, G. (2016). Kosovo – EU trade relations: a dynamic panel poisson approach, Applied Economics, 49:27, 2642-2654, DOI:

In principle, if you find evidence for your hypothesised negative effects in the presence also of potentially positive effects you will obtain richer and more convincing results. Focussing only on negative effects may seem to examiners/referees to be like "tennis with the net down".

For the moderation role, you may use hierarchical regression analysis or you can use Strtuctural Equation Modeling for this purpose.

Collier and Leftwich have done a lot of works in this area. But I suggest you read some works by Leftwich. See below:

Petar,

I am looking into conducting research in Africa.  So, basically we are researching something similar.  Poor education is firstly because of (as some-one already stated) lack of government funding.  Corruption is a dark shadow part of the fiber of most all of the developing countries.  The little money there is, is not allocated where it is suppose to go.  Add to the mixture a high population growth, poor healthcare, food shortage, and the lack of something so basic as clean water.  I have a dream for an educated Africa, and for them to have access to information.  The sad part is, if you are hungry, as so many kids in Africa are, information and education does not matter, because none of the two can fill a belly and help you to sleep warm.

For information on education funding, go to the webpage of the World Bank and search for info. In addition also look for information on the UNESCO website and search for the Millennium Development Goals.

Good luck.

Riana

Sir,

I would suggest Granger Causality test (bi-variate) / Co-integration (multi-variate) test

Dear Alvaro! South Korea underwent structural adjustment or reform. Then promotes combination of both import-substitution and exported oriented industrialization along with emphasis on creating innovation.

I think doing research leads to development of scientific temper, a more rational attitude towards things and people, and enhances our analytical power.

We move away from platitudes to a more critical thinking; resulting in us better interpretative power in terms of cause and effect.

Thanks for sharing
