2021-10-09T05:58:28+00:00

Over the past few years, advances in the forecasting techniques has been evolved from basic linear and non-linear statistical methods to more advanced neural networks (see for eg. Convolution neural networks, Generative adversial networks etc.). Mcnelis (2005) defined forecasting as a technique that uses historical data to make informed predictions that are predictive in deciding future trends. It requires understanding the dynamic lead-lag relationship among the concerned variables, interpreting their statistical significance, and understanding which variables (give variables here) are of key importance in predicting the market moves. The key element for a sound informed financial decision in era of heightened volatility and globalization of financial markets is better forecasting.

Green Finance: A Future Fortune for Green Growth of Industries Across the Globe

2021-10-09T12:10:05+00:00

This research paper majorly deals with the new advanced financial concept called Green financing, which is serving as one of the major means to achieve economic stability along with the overall sustainable growth. Due to the increasing negative impact of globalisation on environment, it has become a necessity rather than an option for the industries across the globe to achieve an overall green growth by adopting various green initiatives that allows them to achieve a climate resilient future through both environmentalism and capitalism simultaneously. Currently being a niche concept, this research paper shows the role and importance of Green financing in not just one industry but for all other industries, which can adopt this concept in one or the other way for attaining an overall green growth. This research paper concludes by giving meaningful suggestions for acknowledging the importance of this concept on a wider perspective.

2021-10-11T07:12:21+00:00

Folktales have formulated folk discourse of cultures and communities. The folktales written by Vijaydan Detha dwell in the discourse around the various communities of Rajasthan. One such community is the Baniya community. The tales disclose the attitude and understanding of the Baniya towards money. The concept of migration for business, of accumulating money, and of the ‘dharma’ of the Baniya is traced through the folktales in this paper. It takes into consideration the recurring images throughout the corpus of the folktales of Rajasthan written by Detha, and studies how characters belonging to the merchant class/caste in Rajasthan are accultured with the ideas of trades, and additionally, how the inherit passion towards money and for earning drives them to the very act of migration. The normalization of accumulating wealth and migrating temporarily to faraway places is ingrained in the cultural understanding. The discourse that is constructed through the sporadic presence of such characters is one that establishes a number of stereotypes and traits governing the characters and their actions, both. These can also be found in many other literary pieces, and popular culture, including the present-day cultural understanding of the baniya man and his ‘tricks’. The paper tries to establish the baniya as a folk figure of the North Indian merchant community, who carries a strong passion for wealth and business.
