With Dr Keshab Bhattarai, Senior Lecturer in Economics, Hull Business School, Faculty of Business Law and Politics. 

Keshab will discuss the BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative on Multi-sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) which is emerging as one of the most dynamic regions of the global economy. How capital, labour, technology and international trade interact with institutional variables, including the degree of democracy and levels of corruption, in determining economic growth among these countries is the issue of investigation in this paper, we will apply static and dynamic panel data regression models for analysis. Results suggest that stable and higher economic growth rate requires reforms of economic and social institutions on top of accumulation of physical and human capital and advancement in production technologies.
