Enamul Most of the cities in developing countries are built on filling wetlands and are also being expanded using continuous land filling and embankments. In coastal areas, cities are doubly threatened as this water is also saline. This paper used these backgrounds to understand how the urban land market is responding to such disasters in a coastal city of Bangladesh. The paper used spatial econometric analysis with GIS data along with a household survey data. In terms of policy prescription, the study reveals that a parcel of land which is water-logged for a day drops its value by 6%; for 2 days drops it by 8% and for 3 days the value drops by 9% and so on. A public investment to remove water-logging increases the value by 14%, so it is possible to invest to reduce the impact and this can be partially financed by higher taxation of land value gains. 0007-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ewubd.edu:8080/handle/2525/2894 Impact of Overall Country Image and Product Country Image on International Supplier Performance Uddin, Jashim; Parvin, Shehely Extant COO studies have not yet investigated impact of multiple COO cues on supplier performance from the perspective of B2B buyers. Purchasing managers’ international procurement decisions are likely to be based on multiple country criteria. This study seeks to understand the relative impact of overall country image and product country image on international suppliers’ performance from B2B perspective. Data were collected using a web-based structured questionnaire. Conceptual model was developed with the constructs taken from the extant COO literature. Structural equation modeling was used as the data analysis technique. Statistical analysis found that overall country image is a valid second order construct. Study results show that overall country image influences product country image and higher product country image leads to higher international supplier performance. This study revealed that superior supplier image directly depends on product country image but indirectly depends on country’s development level. 0007-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ewubd.edu:8080/handle/2525/2893 Applicability of Loan Securitization for Solving NonPerforming Loans’ Problems in Bangladeshi Commercial Bank Faruk, Mohammad Omar Non-performing loan (NPL) is one of the most influential factors for lowering the overall performance of any bank or financial institution which immediately impacts on overall activities of a bank including liquidity, stability and profitability. The securitization is, an innovative financial product, being used in many developed and developing countries as a better solution for the NPL problem. This paper lays out a proposal of how asset securitization against the NPL of a bank can be introduced in Bangladesh. This securitization can introduce a new financial market in the economy where the writing off of bad loans just stops the NPL. The paper also shows the securitization model and the problems & the prospects of implementing NPL in Bangladesh. 0007-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ewubd.edu:8080/handle/2525/2892 Employment and Income Status of Disadvantaged Women-A Comparative Analysis between Some Selected Urban and Rural Areas of Khulna District Rahman, Md. Moududur; Tasneem, Sadia This study mainly discusses a comparative analysis between status of urban and rural disadvantaged women. For surviving the livelihood women work in both area works hard. Moreover, their income depends on seasonal variation and rural women also suffer from uncertainty of income. The study is based on empirical data collected through household survey and personal interviews with disadvantaged women of village Shiromoni and Rupsha slum and its adjacent area under Khulna district. This analysis looks into the condition of such women and the present GO and NGO programs toward their economic improvement. Thus, to achieve better social structure, the Government and its development partners need to re-orient their programs and implement an effective affirmative action for the disadvantaged women. 0007-01-01T00:00:00Z
