Participation by the NGOs in housing for the urban poor in Bangladesh
(BRAC University, 2005)Many non-government organisations (NGOs) are involved in various development programs in Bangladesh, targeting the urban poor, who also lack proper housing. Yet they have not been widely involved in urban housing. This ... -
Contested history of Neo-classical economic models of households in development
(BRAC University, 2005)The models outlined in this essay were basically put together to help economists analyze household behavior and subsequently propose government policies for poverty reduction. From the arguments posed in the above text, ... -
Migration, urbanization, industrialization, export promotion and economic development
(BRAC University, 2005)Import substitution was the main trend of industrial and trade policy after the World War Two. This policy in now disfavored and almost all developing countries are at present trying to increase exports to become developed. ... -
The economic impact of E-commerce
(BRAC University, 2005)E-commerce has a significant impact on business costs and productivity. E-Commerce has a chance to be widely adopted due to its simple applications. Thus it has a large economic impact. It gives the opportunity for “boundary ... -
Linear and nonlinear dynamic conductivity of carbon nanotubes
(BRAC University, 2005)Electronic properties of carbon nanotubes are studied. L inear response of dynamic conductivity of both zigzag and armchair nanotubes is analyzed at different temperatures and for different radii of nanotubes in the framework ... -
Gravitational waves in a magnetized plasma
(BRAC University, 2005)An overview of gravitational wave and its possible detection while propagating in a plasma is given. The linear propagation of gravitational wave in magnetized plasma is considered. It is found that a × polarized gravitational ... -
