This paper extensively explores the intricate interplay between domestic investments, exports, and the long-term economic growth of Angola. By leveraging a robust dataset spanning from 2002 to 2022, we apply rigorous econometric methods, including cointegration analysis and the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, to unveil the subtle dynamics among these crucial economic indicators. Contrary to conventional expectations, our analysis uncovers a surprising result: there is no apparent impact of domestic investments and exports on the sustained economic growth of Angola. These findings challenge established economic paradigms and emphasized the imperative need for a thorough reassessment of existing economic policies within the country.

Assessment and Accreditation is a very essential component in maintaining the standards of Higher Education. This paper focuses on analysis of assessment and accredited Higher Education institutions (HEIs). National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) serves as the basis of quality indicators that helps in getting admission, placement, employment, self-employment and entrepreneurship for the students of Higher Education institutions.

Indian institutions are assessed and accredited based on seven criteria. The data collected by NAAC for Higher Education institutions based on responses provided by the institutions have been taken into account for analysis purposes. The intent of the paper is highlighting the quality status and structure followed by the Higher Education institutions in India. It also detailed analysis of criteria and locations wise SWOC (Strength, Wealness, Opportunity and Challenges) analysis of accredited Universities and Colleges of Karnataka State. In this paper it is observed that the majority of Universities in different locations such as urban, rural, and semi-urban are performed high-performance CGPA( Cumulative Grade Point Average) (scores between 3 to 4) and the majority of Colleges are a medium-performance CGPA in each the criterion.

The improvement of existing irrigation systems offers the promise of increased yields and cropping intensities. This will result in employment expansion, increased food production and low food prices in the economy. In a nutshell, it leads to the development of all sectors of the economy through the growth and prosperity of agricultural sector. It is particularly so in the agriculturally based underdeveloped countries like India. Therefore, many economists emphasized the contribution of irrigation to agricultural sector and its importance in economic development of underdeveloped countries.

It is concluded from observations of the study that the minor irrigation has playing a major role in the upliftment of rural livelihoods. In this context the governments at all levels must encourage minor irrigation schemes, our agriculture dependent economy would further deteriorate as perennial river waters are not accessible to a significant segment of farming community. To overcome various major irrigation-based problems (environmental and socio-economical), it is essential to strengthen the minor irrigation, especially the tank and groundwater-based schemes. These schemes can be made successful if the farmers are allowed to participate from the planning stage, as demonstrated by APFAMGS. Since the state govt. is fully aware of the importance of Minor Irrigation, needed steps have to be taken to implement recommendations of Jayathi Ghosh Committee, on a priority basis.

The lingering menace of income disparities amongst citizens in Nigeria have become rampant and a serios challenge to policy makers amidst era of continuous monetary policy crises, as well as the increasing pressure from the global community vis-a-vis the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals number ten (SDG-10). This study examines the nexus between monetary policy and sustainable development goals number ten in Nigeria from (1987 to 2022). The data for this study were collected from secondary sources which includes; World Bank and World Development Indicator online data base, previous research and government documents as well as journals articles. The estimation techniques used for this study is econometrics tools to run the regression, unit root test, ARDL, Bound Test and granger causality tests. The result of the unit root test revealed that there is combination of I(1) and I(0) among the variables, ARDL test result shows that there is existing of long relationship through the bound test, of F-statistics 5.633258 at 10 and 5 per cent respectively. The granger causality test indicates the unidirectional causality, bidirectional causality and no causality relationship among the variables. The result of the short-run and long run indicates that the monetary policy have both positive and negative impact on SDG-10 in Nigeria. What remains to be done is for the government to consider the inflationary and exchange rates in Nigeria in order to tackle the level of inequality amongst the citizens. This can be effectively carried out through a stringent price control for goods and services as well as implementing a fixed exchange rate policy that would restrict the ever-declining value of naira relative to dollar exchange rate. If effectively articulated, it will ensure equitable distribution of income and wealth amongst the citizens in the country.

TAX HAVEN OR TAX EVASION: HOW DO MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS USE TAX HAVENS?

Tax havens are sovereign jurisdictions which lure non-resident investors and foreign business entities to make external investments by offering lower tax structures, tax rebates and incentives, thereby stimulating economic activity. The majority of tax havens account for a minimum share of the globe’s population, but in this proportion contribute significantly to the international gross domestic product, multinational business industries and the global employment structure. Furthermore, tax haven states seem to be sufficiently funded even though they charge negligible or low tax rates. The question arises whether the elevated economic worth of tax haven nations is derived at the cost of higher tax nations; for which the answer is ambiguous.

This white paper discusses some of the global prominent tax havens, their chief elements primarily the absence of prevailing structures of direct taxation like income, estate and gift taxes in such tax havens and the socio-economic conditions which stimulate their success. Furthermore, it talks about the modus operandi of tax havens and elevated profits due to foreign shell investments and the MNC's global corporate profits, the artificial shifting of these foreign profits to offshore tax havens and the subsequent loss of corporate taxes for high tax nations. The study highlights the tax loopholes which support such actions and the policies of transfer pricing. The study concludes to discuss how between 1985 and 2018 the global average statutory corporate tax rate fell by more than half, probably due to the fact that a majority of multinational profits were artificially shifted to tax havens for tax avoidance, the failure to curb it in the past and macroeconomic knowledge related to recent international tax treaties to curb such future consequences.
