Studying the function of banks is crucial because their vigorous role in the economy seems to be a subject of immense importance. In the present study, we analyze and study the role of whole banks, commercial banks and specialized banks between 2002 and 2012 in Isfahan, based on the growth of value added approach in the industrial sector. In order to investigate this matter, we have estimated three extinction panels for the whole banking system, specialized banks and commercial banks in Eviews 9. Based on the results it can be argued that in the panels of whole banks and specialized banks, payment facilities have a positive and meaningful impact on the growth of value added in all three sectors of the economy, but in the panel of commercial banks, only banking facilities on a 10 percent level have a positive and meaningful impact on the growth of value added in the industrial sector. As a result, we can conclude that specializing the bank's activities can have a positive effect on the growth of value added in various sectors of the economy.

In an Islamic system, as interest is prohibited, banks are expected to operate solely on the basis of profit and risk sharing. This paper describes the developments in Islamic banking in Iran and Pakistan. As these two countries have initiated the most far-reaching experiments with Islamic banking, their experiences have a significant bearing on the feasibility of such a system. The developments in these countries are evaluated against the theory underlying the Islamic banking, and suggestions are made to achieve a more efficient system.

Islamic banking industry is flourishing in Pakistan with a rapid pace. Currently, it is holding more than 8% share of the total banking industry in the country. As Pakistan is a developing economy, every sector has to contribute into its economic growth. Banking industry is also playing its role in the economic growth of Pakistan which includes conventional banks and Islamic banks. At present, there are 5 full-fledged Islamic banks along with other conventional banks offering Islamic banking services, are operating in Pakistan.This study is to examine the role of Islamic banking industry in the economic growth of Pakistan. For this purpose, the financial data of all 5 Islamic banks has been obtained from their financial statements from 3rd quarter of 2006 to 4th quarter of 2011 and the data of real GDP of the country has been taken from the source of State Bank of Pakistan. Different statistical tools were used to check the impact and role of Islamic banking industry on the economic growth of the country. It has been found that the financial performance of Islamic banking industry has a very positive impact on the economic growth because Islamic banking is attracting majority of the banking consumers on the basis of religion. Whereas, profitability of Islamic banking industry has very low impact as because Islamic banks are new in the country and they are struggling to earn profits for their consumers as per the teachings of Sharia'h. Similarly, asset quality of Islamic banking industry has no impact on the economic growth of the country. The reason is that the asset quality of Islamic banks is equivalent to the asset quality of conventional banks and it has no independent impact on the economic growth of Pakistan. Overall results show that with minor changes in the financial structure of Islamic banking industry and by increasing this industry's financial efficiency, it can play a major role in the economic development of Pakistan.

Why were urban women veiled in the early 1900s, unveiled from 1936 to 1979, and reveiled after the 1979 revolution? This question forms the basis of Hamideh Sedghi's original and unprecedented contribution to politics and Middle Eastern studies. Using primary and secondary sources, Sedghi offers new knowledge on women's agency in relation to state power. In this rigorous analysis she places contention over women at the centre of the political struggle between secular and religious forces and demonstrates that control over women's identities, sexuality, and labor has been central to the consolidation of state power. Sedghi links politics and culture with economics to present an integrated analysis of the private and public lives of different classes of women and their modes of resistance to state power.

COVID-19 has spread around the world, causing tremendous structural change, and severely affecting global supply chains and financial operations. As such there is a need for analytic tools help deal with the impact of the pandemic on the world’s economies; these tools are not panaceas and certainly won’t cure the problems faced, but they offer a means to aid governments, firms, and individuals in coping with specific problems. This book provides an overview of the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluates its effect on financial and supply chain operations. It then discusses epidemic modeling, presenting sources of quantitative and text data, and describing how models are used to illustrate the pandemic impact on supply chains, macroeconomic performance on financial operations. It highlights the specific experiences of the banking system, which offers predictions of the impact on the Swedish banking sector. Further, it examines models related to pandemic planning, such as evaluation of financial contagion, debt risk analysis, and health system efficiency performance, and addresses specific models of pandemic parameters. The book demonstrates various tools using available data on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While it includes some citations, it focuses on describing the methods and explaining how they work, rather than on theory. The data sets and software presented were all selected on the basis of their widespread availability to any reader with computer links.
