The last two decades have seen a profound shift in how labour is spatially conceptualized and understood within economic geography, based on a recognition of workers’ abilities to fashion the geography of capitalism to suit their own needs.
However, the bulk of work in labour geography fails to examine worker agency beyond a narrow focus on the trade union movement, largely divorces workers’ activities from the
sphere of social reproduction, and rarely looks beyond the ‘core’ capitalist economies of the Global North. In response, this article presents findings from a regional labour mobility survey of 439 call centre workers in India’s National Capital Region (May 2007). Here, previous work has heavily criticized the ‘dead-end’ nature of call centre jobs offshored to India from the Global North, yet has done so based on an intra-firm
focus of analysis. By taking an alternative cross-firm worker agency approach, our analysis documents for the first time some Indian call centre agents’ abilities to circumvent a lack of internal job ladders and achieve career progression through lateral ‘career staircases’, as they job hop between firms in pursuit of better pay, improved working conditions and more complex job roles. In the absence of widespread
unionization within this sector, the article also discusses the productive and social reproductive factors that underpin these patterns of Indian call centre worker agency, and their mediation by a complex nexus of labour market intermediaries beyond the
firm. In so doing, the article ‘theorizes back’ (Yeung, 2007) on ‘mainstream’ (Western) theories of the limits to call centre worker agency and career advancement.

To analyze the factors affecting the price volatility of stocks, microeconomic and macroeco-nomic elements must be considered. This paper selects elements that are appropriate with the daily data of stock prices to build the GARCH family models. External variables such as global oil prices, consumer price index, short interest rates and the exchange rate between the United States Dollar and the Euro are examined. The GARCH models are developed in order to analyze and forecast the stock price of the companies in the DAX 30, which is Germany’s most important stock exchange barometer. The volatility of the residual of the mean function is the important key point in the GARCH approach. This financial application can be extend-ed to analyze other specific shares or stock indexes in any stock market in the world. There-fore, it is necessary to understand the operating procedures of their pricing for risk manage-ment, profitability strategies, cost minimization and, in addition, to construct the optimal port-folio depending on investor’s preferences.

The theories consider macroeconomic variables to be major determinants of stock market returns or performance. But, the empirical evidence collected from different countries over the world is ambiguous. The effect of macroeconomic variables on stock market has been very popular among the researchers from past many decades. This study chooses two macro variables, i.e., oil price and exchange rate because of their increasing importance nowadays. The variables chosen do not show long run association, while short run association was evident from the analysis.

What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor to trade with.
@Pi_vendor_247
Even tho Pi network is not listed on any exchange yet.
Buying/Selling or investing in pi network coins is highly possible through the help of vendors. You can buy from vendors[ buy directly from the pi network miners and resell it]. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal vendor.
@Pi_vendor_247
If you are looking for a pi coin investor. Then look no further because I have the right one he is a pi vendor (he buy and resell to whales in China). I met him on a crypto conference and ever since I and my friends have sold more than 10k pi coins to him And he bought all and still want more. I will drop his telegram handle below just send him a message.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
how to sell pi coins on Bitmart crypto exchangeDOT TECH
Yes. Pi network coins can be exchanged but not on bitmart exchange. Because pi network is still in the enclosed mainnet. The only way pioneers are able to trade pi coins is by reselling the pi coins to pi verified merchants.
A verified merchant is someone who buys pi network coins and resell it to exchanges looking forward to hold till mainnet launch.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
Below is the contact information for my personal pi vendor.

how to sell pi coins effectively (from 50 - 100k pi)DOT TECH
Anywhere in the world, including Africa, America, and Europe, you can sell Pi Network Coins online and receive cash through online payment options.
Pi has not yet been launched on any exchange because we are currently using the confined Mainnet. The planned launch date for Pi is June 28, 2026.
Reselling to investors who want to hold until the mainnet launch in 2026 is currently the sole way to sell.
Consequently, right now. All you need to do is select the right pi network provider.
Who is a pi merchant?
An individual who buys coins from miners on the pi network and resells them to investors hoping to hang onto them until the mainnet is launched is known as a pi merchant.

when will pi network coin be available on crypto exchange.DOT TECH
There is no set date for when Pi coins will enter the market.
However, the developers are working hard to get them released as soon as possible.
Once they are available, users will be able to exchange other cryptocurrencies for Pi coins on designated exchanges.

Right now the only way to sell pi coins is by trading with a verified merchant.
What is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone verified by pi network team and allowed to barter pi coins for goods and services.
Since pi network is not doing any pre-sale The only way exchanges like binance/huobi or crypto whales can get pi is by buying from miners. And a merchant stands in between the exchanges and the miners.

Empowering the Unbanked: The Vital Role of NBFCs in Promoting Financial Inclu...Vighnesh Shashtri
In India, financial inclusion remains a critical challenge, with a significant portion of the population still unbanked. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have emerged as key players in bridging this gap by providing financial services to those often overlooked by traditional banking institutions. This article delves into how NBFCs are fostering financial inclusion and empowering the unbanked.

3. Introduction
• In standard economics literature, rational investors would invest amount of access saving in
country offering higher interest return per unit of investment.
• With low level of international financial market regulation, capital mobility will adjust the rate of
return until they are equal (Obstfeld et al. (2000).
• Therefore, the savings (S) of any country would flow to countries with the most productive
investment opportunities. This implies that the relationship between domestic saving (S) and
investment (I) should be independent.
International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 3
4. Introduction
• However, there are multiple empirical evidences supported that relationship between economic
variables might not get in line with the standard economic theory.
• This phenomenon was widely known as a “puzzle”.
• Obstfeld et al. (2000) found that there are still “many puzzles” existing in economic literature,
particularly in international macroeconomics and finance
International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 4
5. S-I puzzle (Feldstein and Horioka,1980)
• Feldstein-Horioka (F-H) or Saving and Investment (S-I) puzzle is one of them.
• S-I is a widely discussed problems in macroeconomics and international finance.
• This puzzle was initially proposed by Feldstein and Horioka (1980).
• They argued that if the assumption between saving and investment (S-I) is true and there is
perfect capital mobility, we should observe correlation between domestic investment and
savings.
• The results from their study found strong correlation of saving and investment in some
developed countries during 1960-74. (i.e., Australia, UK, Germany)
International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 5
6. Reasons behind the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle
(Feldstein and Horioka,1980)
• They explained that there were five rationales behind the particular strong correlation.
• Firstly, it is because the domestic tax regime discourages investor to invest abroad. This tax regime
discounts the return of investment.
• Second, cost of transaction, fees, custody, or dealing costs in different countries are volatile. This
discourages investors to invest in other countries rather than their home country where these costs are
calculable.
• Third, investment in abroad encounters the exchange rate risk, particularly when withdraw the money
back to home country.
• Fourth, the information asymmetric problems might arise when investing abroad. There might be
advantages over the foreign investors in terms of the information acquisition.
• Lastly, investors could face with unanticipated regulatory risks from foreign countries government.
International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 6
7. Introduction
• Empirically, several evidences found the existence of the contradiction between standard
international macroeconomics and real-world situation.
• Theses puzzle have long been studied and explainable in most of the industrial countries.
• The nexus between domestic saving and investment (S-I) under Feldstein and Horioka
puzzle were widely tested by a wide range of studies (e.g., Martin and Charles (1980); Schott
1981; Monroe 1929; Byrne et al 2009; Sinha and Sinha 1998; Cavallo and Pedemonte 2016;
Khundrakpam and Ranjan 2010; Baxter and Crucini 1993; Nasir et al. 2004).
• Most studies employed classical model (Granger cointegration). Only few studies employed
modern method.
International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 7
8. Introduction
• Most studies aimed at advancing economy and industrial countries. There are only a few
that aimed at small developing economies liked Asian, Africa and developing Latin American
(Narayan 2005).
• However, during the period of 2005-2010, there begins to have studies tested the validity of
such theoretical framework in less developing countries such as Jiranyakul and Brahmasrene
(2008); Narayan (2005); and Nural et al. (2014).
• This study, therefore, aim to provide an additional empirical evidence to test the existence of
F-H puzzle (cointegration between S-I) in Thailand based on more modern method.
International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 8
9. Objective of Study
• To provide an additional empirical evidence to support the absence of F-H puzzle (cointegration
between S-I) in Thailand.
• To diagnose the long run cointregation between domestic saving and investment in Thailand
during 1980-2020 based on ARDL-Bound Testing

12. Model Construction
This study adopted the model setup by Obstfeld et al. (2000), Pesaran et al. (2001) and Jiranyakul and
Brahmasrene (2008). The model construction is explained by following stages.
• First, we indicate the nexus between S-I. According to Feldstein-Horioka regression, the relation of
S-I is expressed as cross-section regressions:
𝐼
𝑌 𝑡
= 𝑎0 + 𝑎1
𝑁𝑆
𝑌 𝑡
+ 𝜀𝑡 (1)
• Where I/Y is the domestic private investment as a fraction of GDP, NS is the domestic saving as a
fration of GDP
• Note: Engle and Granger (1987) strictly required that all variables must be integrated of order one
or I(1) and must be known before performing the test
International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 12
13. Model Construction
• Later on, Pesaran et al. (2001) proposed a new method for testing cointegration that require
more relaxed assumption of level of integration
• The approach is basically based on conditional autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and
error correction mechanism (ECM).
• The benefit of ARDL is that it allows to examine cointegration relationships amongst
variables regardless of their order of integration, I(0), I(1) or a mixture of both.
International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 13
14. Model Construction
• In second stage, we indicate the model specification based on the ARDL instead of Engle and
Granger (1987). The model was specified as:
∆
𝐼
𝑌 𝑡
= 𝛼0 + σ𝑖=1
𝑝
𝛽𝑡∆
𝐼
𝑌 𝑡−1
+ σ𝑖=1
𝑞
𝛾𝑡∆
𝑁𝑆
𝑌 𝑡−𝑗
+ 𝜆∆
𝑁𝑆
𝑌 𝑡
+ 𝜀𝑡 (2)
• the expression (3) provides autoregressive part (lag of endogenous variables) and the
distributed lag (lags of exogenous variables) by adding the lagged level variables into equation
(2). The α,β,γ are the parameters of short run variables and λ was the parameter of the long
run variables. The study then obtained the F-statistic by estimating equation (3) for Thailand as
following equation;
International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 14
16. Hypothesis of Cointegration
• The last stage, we compared the computation of F-statistic from (3) with the critical bound
values obtained from the Narayan (2005) case III unrestricted intercept and no trend which is fit
better for small number of observations.
• To find integration, the study performed the hypotheses test as below Table 2.
International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 16
17. Empirical Results
To find cointegration of
domestic saving and
investment using ARDL
bound test, this study first
tested the unit root under
the Augmented Dickey
Fuller (ADF) and Phillips-
Perron (PP) test. For
Thailand, resulted from
ADF and PP test, shown
in Table 3
a) The number in [square brackets] is the optimal lag length determined by Schwartz information criterion (SIC) with maximum lag of 9
b) The number in {curly brackets} is the optimal bandwidth determined by the Newly-West using Bartlett Kernel
c) The number in (parentheses) is the p-value provided by MacKinnon (1996).
d) *, **, and *** denotes 10, 5, and 1 percent significance level, respectively.
International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 17
18. ARDL-ECM Cointegration Test
• The bounds testing procedure simply estimated OLS regression with the first difference of the variables in equation (2). Then,
put the lagged level variables and conduct the variable addition test. Then we computed the F-statistics and compared them
with the critical values (Narayan 2005) in the case III as the unrestricted intercept and no trend.
• The result displayed in Table 3 indicates the computed F-statistics for Thailand that equals to 2.753.
• In addition, the LM test indicated no serial correlation problem since the p-value of χ^2 (2) was greater than 0.05 for both
Thailand International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 18
20. Stability Test
In addition to unit root
test of order of
integration, the study
was plotted the
cumulative sum
(CUSUM) and
cumulative sum square
(CUSUMSQ) to ensure
the model, pasted the
necessary assumption
of stationary and the

International Conference [30 MARCH 2021] 20
21. Conclusion
• We found strictly no correlation between domestic saving and investment (S-I)
• The F-H puzzle is not exist in Thailand
• Our results is in line with Jirayakul and Brahmasrene (2008) and Byrne and Fiess
