AbstractTen states have created natural-resource-based Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF) to allow a fraction of the wealth derived from the extraction of non-renewable resources to be available for future use. Minnesota does not have a SWF, even though companies have been mining in the state for over 100 years. Herein, we present backward and forward-looking scenarios to estimate the potential magnitude of a “what-if” extraction-based fund. A 1.5% of value tax is suggested as an SWF funding mechanism. Based on historical extraction, prices, and investment returns, a large SWF could already exist. In the forward-looking section, we begin by econometrically estimating the supply and demand of US iron ore production to better understand how an increase in mining taxes would likely effect mining output (i.e., the production effect). After accounting for an estimated 4% production loss, results suggest enough minerals could still be extracted to create a permanent fund with between $930 million (US) and $1.6 billion dollars (US) in direct contributions by 2050 (depending on price). Using reasonable assumptions of a 2% inflation rate and a 5% annual investment return, the fund size could range from $3 billion to $5 billion by 2050.

The Impact

This article puts the emphasis on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Uzbek insurance market and ways to elaborate funded life insurance. In addition, analyzed international practice in the development of life insurance in the world is analyzed. Scientists and experts have also conducted research on the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on the insurance market of Uzbekistan. It worthy to note that the insurer is a specific entity operating under the laws of Uzbekistan, and the consumer can be real (with a life insurance policy) and potential (which can be insured under accumulative life insurance). The questionnaires developed by us for research purposes were divided into four groups, and a survey was conducted. In addition, the impact of inflation as an external factor, the rate of investment return arising from the results of the insurer’s investment activities, was assessed. In addition, indicators on the mass of risk were offered for the insurer. Conclusions and recommendations were made on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the insurance market of Uzbekistan and ways to develop funded life insurance.

Transfer Training

In the era of competitive industrial time and globalization, enterprises need to have a competent, technologically "up to date," motivated and engaged workforce to maximize productivity. Therefore, in the current socio-economic industrial culture, enterprises are encouraged to be motivated to invest in employee training and development. Scholarly research in the business world have already emphasized on the robust association between learning opportunities for employees leading to their performance improvements. According to studies, businesses that have survived, understood, and learned the prospects of training and its long-term implications for business productivity. But even when the issues of providing training were resolved, that also brought the question of application of the training at the workplace by the employees that may be defined as the term "training transfer." Training transfer by employees is essential for the investment return that was aimed to have higher productivity and profit for organizations. If there is a failure of training transfer through proper implementation of the newly acquired knowledge and learnings, not only the performance stays in the pre-training level, but also there is no investment return for the organization. Many organizations are suffering losses due to failing to implement training transfer adequately in the organization. Therefore, it is essential to ensure proper application of transfer training to secure investment resulting in higher job performance and productivity. That requires a good quality of supervisory support, perceived utility, and higher education. The study discusses both theoretical and practical implications for the organizational stakeholders for better job performances.

This paper investigates whether faith has impact on investment returns. Specifically, we choose the Shariah compliance and REITs investment for the purpose of investigation. Synthetic Shariah compliant portfolios are constructed with various interpretation of compliance. We compare the performance of Shariah compliant portfolios with US Equity REIT portfolio during 1993–2017 by examining the abnormal returns using CAPM and Carhart four-factor model. We find no evidence of underperformance or outperformance of the Shariah compliant investments. This is also true during the financial crisis periods which is confirmed by the sub-sample analysis. Our findings suggest that Shariah compliant REIT investor faces no cost or gain in his investments as a result of his faith.
