Abstract: Financial theory models typically relate stock prices with inflationary shocks that emanates from an expansionary monetary policy. Literature generally supports the causality relationship between money supply and stock prices due to price volatilities in the real interest rate. This paper attempts to determine causality between money supply and stock prices using monthly share prices and money supply quantities from 2011- 2013. The results of the study support the recent evidence against the positive affiliation between money supply and stock prices. The study uses the Johansen cointegration test and the Vector Error Correction Models (VECM) models for testing causality relationship between money supply and stock prices. While the expectation was that there should exist a statistically significant positive affiliation between money supply and stock prices, results of the tests reject this ideal. However, the results are plausible when interest rate factors are included in the analysis. It is concluded that money supply shocks provide robust changes in the stock prices. Keywords: stock prices; money supply; causality.

Abstract: This study seeks to investigate the issues related to financing decision and the profitability of the listed firms at the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE). By performing this investigation we try to find out that is Pakistani listed firms at KSE follow any capital structure theory during the period 2000-2010.
The study is based on the panel data of 40 non financial listed companies at Karachi Stock Exchange for the period of 2000-2010. Comprehensive descriptive analysis was conducted to find out mean, median and standard deviation for better understanding of readers. OLS Regression analysis is used to analyze the relationship between profitability and financing by debts. The relationship is found for short term debts, long term debts and total debts. Size and growth are used as control variables in the study.
The results regarding leverage and profitability reveal that there is an inverse relationship between the use of debt in capital structure and profitability. The over usage of debt in the capital structure is responsible for these results. Size and sales growth has positive relationship with the profitability.
This study investigates the issues relating to the capital structure and firms performance in terms of profitability. All firms need operating capital to support their sales. To acquire operating capital, funds must be raised in the form of a combination of equity and debt. For any business organization the financing decision is very critical because of the need to maximize the profit to the financing constituencies, and also for the survival of firm in its competitive environment with that optimal capital structure. The choice among the best proportion of debt and equity can affect the value of the firm, as well as the rate of return.
The most of the factors that are used in this research study is based on previous researches to analyze the relationship among debt financing and profitability of the firms. Basically, we selected the attributes identified by Abor (2005) and planned to test few other variables that are used in various studies. But, there is lack of financial data in the selected sample space and therefore, we include just two additional variable is this research study.
This research identified need, to examine use of different capital structures used by the listed companies and its impact on profitability capabilities of these companies. This study is based on the data collected from the sample of 40 listed companies of Karachi stock Exchange (KSE).

Abstract: Rain-water-harvesting is one of the means by which agricultural production can be increased to meet the growing food demands in all regions. The study evaluated the impact of rain-water-harvesting irrigation on household food security and income in Eastern Hararghe, Ethiopia. Both primary and secondary data were collected for the study. Primary data were collected from 190 sample households using questionnaire prepared during june15-july20/2014. The study implemented logistic regression model and propensity score matching. Logistic regression estimation revealed that age of household head, education level, number of livestock in tropical livestock unit (TLU), size of land holding, distance between home and farmers training center and labor force the member significantly affected the participation decision of household in rain-water-harvesting. Propensity score matching method was applied to analyze the impact of the rain-water-harvesting ponds on the household food security and farm income. In matching processes, kernel matching with band width of 0.5 was found to be the best matching algorithm. This method was checked for covariate balancing with a standardized bias, t-test, and joint significance level tests. Propensity score matching method results also revealed that household participated in rain-water-harvesting practice have got 1089 Kilocalorie per adult equivalent per day (AE/day) of food, 140Ethiopian Birr (ETB) higher food expenditure/AE/year and 2072 ETB more farm income than those household that were not participated in rain-water-harvesting practice. Keywords: Rain-water-harvesting, food security, propensity score matching, logistic regression.

Abstract: The study investigated the agronomic constraints among rice farmers under the MiDA in the Hohoe Municipality. Primary data was collected from 120 farmers from 4 beneficiary towns while secondary data was gathered from literatures and various organizations. Multistage random sampling technique was used to select the respondents. Obtained data were analyzed using Kendall’s coefficient of concordance. Results showed that the five topmost constraints faced by farmers include: poor climatic conditions, high incidence of pests, poor yield, high cost of inputs and problem of poor milling equipment.
