    Destination EU and USA: improving export potential of Pakistan by trading with India.
    (Journal of Economics and Political Economy., 2016) Dawood Mamoon; Zakee Saadat
    This paper is the extension of popular work of Murshed and Mamoon(2010) that suggests that India Pakistan proximity to global trade can significantly mitigate conflict between these two nations. The paper analyses bilateral trade patterns between India Pakistan with its major exporting destinations in a simple OLS framework. It finds that if bilateral trade between two nations increases that will improve exports of Pakistan in US, EU and UAE. This finding has significant implications for improvement of ties between the two countries. Furthermore, trading with India also full fills Pakistani Government’s emphasis on Trade not Aid. This aspect of India Pakistan trade has not been investigated before.

    Do schooling years improve the earning capacity of lower income groups?
    (Inderscience Publishers, 2012) Dawood Mamoon
    The paper analyses the relationship between the popular Barro and Lee (2001) 'average years of schooling' with income inequality, wage inequality, and income deciles and income percentiles for the sample of developed and developing countries. The results suggest that countries where students complete higher numbers of years of schooling on average also perform better on relative incomes meaning that increase in average income comes from improvements in the earning capacity of the lower income groups or unskilled labour. The paper also finds that an educated population means that there is redistribution of income from the rich to the poor creating thriving middle class.

    The economics and philosophy of globalization
    (MPRA Munich Personal RePEc Archive, 2012) Naveed Yazdani; Dawood Mamoon
    The economics and philosophy of Globalization are generally not discussed together. This paper assesses the claims of economic prosperity through economic integration in the backdrop of cultural, political and social value system implications of Globalization. This debate becomes important when we see a major part of developing world still struggling with impoverishment while cheerleaders of Globalization already claim a success story out of increased integration of developed and developing economies post 1980s.

    Economics, education and religion: can western theories be generalized across religions?
    (Munich Personal RePEc Archive, 2012) Naveed Yazdani; Dawood Mamoon
    Some of the recent empirical studies relate economic growth and prosperity with religion. This paper raises the question that if economic systems are based on individualism and selfishness, can they be related with religion? The paper also finds that the Secularization hypothesis of Western Modernity is still valid for Western cultures, Judaism and Christianity but its application is highly unlikely in case of the third monotheist religion Islam. The paper expounds the causes of this proposition keeping in view the historical, religious and economic perspectives of Islam.

    Good verses bad political institutions and economic welfare.
    (International Journal of Economics and Empirical Research., 2015) Dawood Mamoon
    The paper finds that countries which practice democracy are less prone to unequal outcomes especially when it comes to wage inequality and income inequality whereas autocracy is associated with higher level of wage inequalities but its impact on income inequalities are insignificant. Though under good economic management, autocracies may redistribute incomes from the richest to the poorest, more generally an autocratic set up violates the median voter hypothesis. The results also show that political stability and voice and accountability are more sensitive to inequalities than democracy and autocracy which is to say that the countries which are politically stable and practice accountability also form more equal societies.

    (Journal of Management and Research., 2015) Noman Arshed; Dawood Mamoon
    Economies with large laborpopulation and labor oriented production face problems of quality of labor provided. This quality can be divided into two components; one the skill component and other the health component. The purpose of the paper is to identify the root causes of low health standards in the working population. The district wise data of Punjab (Pakistan), revealed that fertility rate, number of hospitals, literacy rate, and proxy income are the major determinants that can reduce Infant Mortality Rate, and the time being dummy variable in GMM model indicated the health standard to be depreciated in 2011 as compared to 2004

    Revisiting determinants of money demand function in Pakistan.
    (Journal of Economics Bibliography, 2016) Dawood Mamoon; Umbreen Iftekhar; Muhammad Shahid Hassan
    This study investigates the factors such as interest rate, GDP per capita, exchange rate, fiscal deficit, urban and rural population to determine money demand function for Pakistan over the period from 1972-2013. We use ARDL Bound Testing approach in order to test long run relation between money demand and its factors whereas both long and short run coefficients will be found using similar approach. The results show that real interest rate exerts significant and negative effect upon money demand in both long and short run in Pakistan. The results also disclose that exchange rate and rural population are leaving significant but negative effect on the demand for money. These findings are robust to different diagnostic tests.

    Some non-price factors that fend off unemployment in Pakistan
    (Munich Personal RePEc Archive, 2013) Muhammad Shahid Hassan; Ayesha Wajid; Dawood Mamoon
    The study empirically analyzed the impact of financial development; foreign direct investment and urban population as share of total population on unemployment in Pakistan for the period from 1973 – 2010. Empirical findings of this study suggest that financial development does reduce unemployment significantly in the short run and in the long run. Foreign direct investment reduces unemployment in the long run but, it increases unemployment in the short run. Moreover; the urban population as share of total population is significantly increasing unemployment in the long run, whereas, it reduces unemployment in the short run.

    Understanding a shared valued and social capital link to pave the path of next generation of innovation.
    (Journal of Economics Library., 2016) Dawood Mamoon
    The idea “Creating shared value” (CSV) offers a resolute direction to the debate on the link between business and society which can be restored through three distinct actions such as a) reconceiving products and markets; b) redefining productivity in the value chain; and c) building supportive industry clusters. The critical analysis predicts that the path of these actions is progressive in nature and their scope apparently ranges from narrow to wider deliberations. Keeping variant scope of proposed actions, this paper focuses only first course of action as it paves the path of new wave of innovation. For this new wave of innovation, the role of social capital is explored to determine the extent this capital can derive next wave of innovation. In this regard, a model is proposed to predict the link between various dimensions of social capital and innovation that can produce both social and business revenues. The proposed model assumes that narrow conceptualization of social capital to network theory only and ignoring its origins and deep rooted relations with community will lead towards routine innovations that lacking potential benefits of shared value. If organizations emphasize more and invest in developing relationships restricted to network actors, then potential benefits might be unnoticed. Therefore, like defining „value‟ too narrowly due to strategic myopia, keeping the social circle of small radius also limit the organization‟s ability to exploit the embedded potential of social capital necessary to pave the path of new generation of innovation benefiting both business and society.
