Investigating the crowding effect of FDI on domestic investments: Evidence from Bangladesh.

This study empirically investigates the crowding effect of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on domestic investments in Bangladesh, utilizing annual time series data from 1972 to 2022. Initially, unit root tests are conducted with and without considering structural breaks in the dataset. This study employs the Johansen test of cointegration to investigate the enduring association between the variables and utilizes the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to accommodate this relationship over the long term.

Exploring the nexus between FDI inflows and economic growth: A sectoral level analysis.

This study investigates the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows and economic growth at sectoral levels in Bangladesh, employing a panel study framework. Utilizing sectoral-level panel data spanning six sectors from 2007-08 to 2018-19, the analysis is conducted using Panel Vector Error Correction Model (Panel VECM). Results from panel unit root tests confirm that all variables are integrated of order one I (1), indicating stationarity.

Relationship between greenfield investment and economic growth: Evidence from Bangladesh.

The key purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between Greenfield investment and economic growth of Bangladesh using annual time series data during the period 2003-2020. The study employs Toda-Yamamoto (T-Y) tests of Granger causality method that performs Modified Wald Test (MWALD) in order to establish causal relation among different variables. There are three steps in implementing the T-Y procedure.

Proteome Analyses Reveal S100A11, S100P, and RBM25 Are Tumor Biomarkers in Colorectal Cancer.

Purpose: The prognosis for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is drastically impacted by the presence of lymph node or liver metastases at diagnosis or resection. On this basis it is sought to identify novel proteins as biomarkers and determinants of CRC metastasis.

Experimental Design: Proteomic analyses are undertaken using primary tissues from ten Chinese CRC patients presenting with or without liver metastases and immunohistochemistry used to validate selected proteins in an independent patient cohort.

Changes in intracellular redox status influence multidrug resistance in gastric adenocarcinoma cells.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) to chemotherapeutic agents is a major obstacle for the treatment of various types of cancers. The exact mechanism of MDR has not yet been fully clarified, although it has been frequently associated with the variation of intracellular redox status. The levels of intracellular glutathione (GSH) are considered to play a vital role in the regulation of the intracellular redox status.
