In this regard, 83 firms were selected from 2011-2016. Lerner adjusted index was used as a measure of market power; next, the effect on the dividend policy and dividend was examined once the effect of control variables (firm size, profitability, growth opportunities, and firm retained earnings) is observed. Research data were analyzed using data paneling and corresponding tests. Research hypotheses were tested using logistic regression for the first research model, and using multivariate linear regression statistical analyses including Chow test, Hausman test, for the second research model, through Eviews9. Research results show that there is a positive significant relationship between market power and firms dividend policy at the probability 95%. In addition, there is also seen a significant relationship between market power and dividend.}, keywords = {Market Power,Market Competition,Dividend Policy,dividends}, url = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_115221.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_115221_957049bb4887ccfd4b4af29c996c28d4.pdf} } @article { author = {Ahmad, Waqar and Bibi, Aqsa and Bibi, Aqsa}, title = {Effect of FDI, R & D, and High-Tech Exports on Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Pakistan and Canada over the Period of 1982-2011}, journal = {International Journal of Management, Accounting and Economics}, volume = {4}, number = {12}, pages = {1176-1191}, year = {2017}, publisher = {Mashhad: Behzad Hassannezhad Kashani}, issn = {2383-2126}, eissn = {2383-2126}, doi = {}, abstract = {Innovation is coming from new Knowledge, and new Technology.

The study concludes that foreign direct investment, R&D, and High-tech exports have a positive impact on economic growth, and the results show a significant positive impact on GDP, in the case of Canada. While in Pakistan this influence is not significant due to some internal problems that Pakistan faces like a low rate of domestic investment, political instability, less investment in higher education.

HEC promoted the higher education by providing different indigenous and international scholarships, which ultimately improved the standard of living of the students and attainment of well reputed jobs in different institutions of Pakistan, leads to alleviate the poverty relatively. This paper reviews the role of education in promoting economic well-being focusing on the role of educational quality. Much evidence from developing countries suggests that education has strong influence in reducing poverty. The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of some of the key macroeconomic variables on Pakistan’s economic growth during 1980-2007 taking four different education levels including students enrollment at the university level as a ratio to total employed labour force. It concludes that there is strong evidence that the cognitive skills of the population-rather than mere school attainment-are powerfully related to individual earnings, to the distribution of income, and to economic growth. University education does not play a significant role in poverty alleviation. The magnitude of change needed makes it clear that closing the economic gap with industrial countries will require major structural changes in schooling institutions.}, keywords = {HEC,university education,Poverty alleviation}, url = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_115224.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_115224_518a932c7af1d0832d859777b3a384ba.pdf} } @article { author = {Bibi, Aqsa}, title = {Family Planning and its Effect on Household in Pakistan: A Case Study of Peshawar}, journal = {International Journal of Management, Accounting and Economics}, volume = {4}, number = {12}, pages = {1219-1225}, year = {2017}, publisher = {Mashhad: Behzad Hassannezhad Kashani}, issn = {2383-2126}, eissn = {2383-2126}, doi = {}, abstract = {Family planning plays an important role to control population growth, and poverty reduction, human development.
